Call for Papers: AWAWS panel ASCS 43 (8-11 February 2022)

3/9/2021

Representing women through the ages

Representations of ancient women, whether human or divine, historical, literary or mythological, are always layered with meaning. Physical manifestations of the human female form embody the social, political, and cultural spheres in which they were created, received and transmitted. Over time, most of these physical images of bodies have been altered, sometimes violently, and transmitted across myriad cultures and times. Their encoded meanings have been reinterpreted, or often wholly reimagined.
 
Modern perceptions of women, the female body and gender have greatly influenced the ways in which ancient imagery has been interpreted. Ancient imagery of women has been, and still is, harnessed as a positive encouragement to self-confidence in some spheres and weaponised in others, either to drive or to detract from modern feminist (and other) agendas in the academic and popular spheres.
 
This panel hopes to explore a variety of ways in which women are represented in the material culture of the ancient world (or its receptions); the processes in which meaning is created and attached to these images; and the ways in which physical depictions of women have changed over time and in different cultural contexts.
 
Papers are invited that:
  • contribute to the discussion of women and gender representation in ancient material culture;
  • examine reception of ancient imagery of women in medieval or modern cultures; or
  • engage with intersectional discourses such as queer studies, race and ethnicity studies, or disability studies.
If you would like to participate in the panel please send your EOI including an abstract (max 250 words) and short bio (max 200 words) to candace.richards@sydney.edu.au by Sunday 12 September. Note: The due date is earlier than the ASCS abstract deadline to allow for organisation of the panel. Participants must be financial members of ASCS.
