Hi All,

The Society for LGBTQ Philosophy is still accepting 500-word abstracts for
paper or panel submissions until July 7th for a Special Session on LGBTQ
Outrage, Resistance, and Change at APA East. Below is the CFP and a link to
share (the PhilEvents listing is currently awaiting an update). Please
share widely.

CFP: Society for LGBTQ Philosophy, APA Eastern Division Meeting

January 3, 2018 to January 6 in Savannah, Georgia

Topic: LGBTQ Outrage, Resistance, and Change

In “My Words to Victor Frankenstein Above the Village of Chamounix:
Performing Transgender Rage” Susan Stryker considers the power of queer
rage, writing, “Transgender rage is a queer fury, an emotional response to
conditions in which it becomes imperative to take up, for the sake of one’s
own continued survival as a subject, a set of practices that precipitates
one’s exclusion from a naturalized order of existence that seeks to
maintain itself as the only possible basis for being a subject.” In this
context, rage is a powerful emotion through which a queer subject can break
into and rework conditions of exclusion, striving for possibilities of
change.

Events such as the Compton’s Cafeteria Riots, the Stonewall Riots, Sylvia
Rivera’s speech to  gay liberation organizations, ACT-UP’s demonstrations
on Wall Street, and Jennicet Gutiérrez’s protest at the White House each
mark important moments of LGBTQ outrage and resistance in the service of
change. Philosophers such as Foucault and Butler have taken active interest
in the implications and meanings of queer resistance, while philosophical
work on necropolitics and homonationalism have considered further
dimensions such as relationships between queer resistance, racism and
xenophobia, and the state. At the same time, the contemporary political
climate in the US and beyond, including increased threats of fascism,
homophobia, transphobia, white supremacy, and xenophobia, calls for an
intensified interest in the possibilities of queer resistance and change,
often fueled by outrage and fury.

For the upcoming Eastern Division Meeting of the APA, the Society for LGBTQ
Philosophy welcomes submissions for panel and/or paper abstracts on topics
related to the theme of LGBTQ outrage, resistance, and change. We invite
submissions from all areas of philosophy (broadly construed) that take the
current political moment (and past) seriously, and seek to grapple through
the nuances of LGBTQ mobilization and action.

Topics may include (but are not limited to):
Resistance and Affect
Contesting Heteronormativity and Cisnormativity
Visibility, Representation, and the Gaze
Assimilation and Subversion
Homonationalism
Tensions within and among LGBTQ
Philosophy of LGBTQ History and LGBTQ Elders
LGBTQ Pedagogy
LGBTQ, Neoliberalism, adjunctification, and Higher Education

Please send paper and/or panel abstracts of no more than 500 words to

names, institutional affiliations, and paper titles with all submissions.
