Call for Papers:



Indigenous Bodies: Reviewing, Relocating, Reclaiming



An international conference hosted by the Native Studies Research
Network, UK,

University of East Anglia, Norwich

July 8-10, 2009



The Native Studies Research Network, UK, invites proposals for papers
for its second international conference and would especially welcome
contributions from indigenous scholars. Established in April 2006, the
NSRN currently has 87 members, working at 37 UK institutions in 11
academic disciplines. Having organized regular annual colloquia in
London every September since 2006, and an international conference in
Geneva in July 2007, the NSRN will now host its first UK based
international conference.



This interdisciplinary conference will interrogate wide ranging
presentations and representations of indigenous bodies by both Natives
and non-Natives, in historical and contemporary contexts. The conference
is particularly concerned with the native body as a site of persistent
fascination, colonial oppression, and indigenous agency, and the
endurance of these legacies within native communities.



Keynote Speakers:

Carter Revard, Osage Poet, writer and scholar

Mick Gidley, University of Leeds

Debbie Reese, University of Illinois

(One other keynote to be confirmed)



We invite papers focusing on indigenous communities in the Americas and
Australasia exploring a wide range of topics including but not limited
to:

Indigenous performance and body art

Racialised indigenous bodies (including African-Native)

Indigenous bodies in visual arts

Commercialising and appropriating indigenous bodies

Confining indigenous bodies (reservations, prisons, schools, forts,
clothes)

Indigenous bodies in material culture

Sexualised indigenous bodies

Locating and relocating indigenous bodies

Indigenous bodies in museums

Indigenous political bodies (communities, councils, activism)



Papers should be 20 minutes long. Please email a 250 word abstract,
accompanied by a short curriculum vita to both:

Jacqueline Fear-Segal (j.fear-segal at uea.ac.uk)

and Rebecca Tillett      (r.tillett at uea.ac.uk)

The deadline for these is February 14th, 2009.



It is planned to publish a book of selected papers, edited by Fear-Segal
and Tillett [with support from the British Academy].



Travel Arrangements: The University of East Anglia is in Norwich, just
20 minutes from Norwich Airport with direct flights to Amsterdam,
connecting to major world cities.
