State of the Union
Marriage in the Shadow of Electoral Politics
8:30am to 5pm
314 Royce
|
Marriage politics animate some of the most heated political controversies of our time, including debates surrounding same-sex marriage, political sex scandals, immigration policy reform, the prohibition of polygamy, and welfare policy.
UCLA’s Center for the Study of Women will host a conference titled “State of the Union: Marriage in the Shadow of Electoral Politics” to engage these issues in relation to the historic 2008 election. The conference will highlight neglected connections to the historical regulation of sex, sexuality, and intimacy in the United States, offering fresh and provocative perspectives.

What is meant by “terror”?
How do its meanings vary across different spatial, political, and temporal domains?
What are the political, symbolic/semiotic, and legal practices that produce “terror”?
What is the relationship between “terror” and “counter-terrorism,” “state-endorsed terrorism,” and “peacekeeping”?
How do communities that have experienced terror in its different forms attempt to patch together some semblance of “normalcy”?
How might the categories of “terror” and “normalcy” be mutually overlapping?
In this important conference, we will foreground the centrality of gender and sexuality to the construction of “terror” and examine how “terror” is configured across cultural, historical, and transnational contexts.

This public conference presents a group of preeminent scholars who collectively bring a feminist analysis to the study of science. Such work challenges us to think about the intersections between science and power and how these intersections shape peoples lives. The UCLA Women’s Studies community and the larger UCLA audience stand to be inspired by such cutting-edge interdisciplinary work combining political theories (feminist theory/postcolonial theory/critical theory) and science studies. |
