Dear all,
In know I am not so visible in the network, but hope you don't mind that I share this invitation to the coming seminars in this term's Crip and queer seminar series hosted by the Division of Gender studies in Lund. The spring's theme is queer and trans embodiments.
This term's second Crip and Queer Seminar will be 7th May, 13.15-15, in Gamla Lungkliniken 355, hosted by the division of Gender Studies. We are proud to present a lecture by Luca Tainio, adjunct lecturer in Gender Studies at Karlstad University and PhD scholar at Helsinki University: "I'm so proud, I grew it myself": Challenging cisnormative ideals of the penis through trans male embodiment. The Crip and Queer Seminar series is proud to present this lecture. After the seminar - which is open to students, staff, and the general public - we serve fika in the kitchen on the fourth floor of Gamla Lungkliniken. There is an elevator and door openers in the building. Welcome!
Abstract: The seminar explores the notion that the simple division between men with a penis (cis) and those without (trans) fails to capture the embodied realities of many trans men and is largely a discursive construct. Rather than defining trans men's bodies by the absence of 'genital status reserved for cisgender men,' it argues that the non-surgically altered trans penis should be viewed as a body-reflexive practice of masculinity and a key aspect of forming one's trans male identity. The aim is to challenge cultural ideals and to offer a counternarrative to the cisnormative understanding of male embodiment.
Upcoming Crip & Queer seminar:
May 21, 13.15-15, in G:a Lung 355: Creative research methods as a way to move research participants away from individualised conceptualisations of "body image" with Ella Sangmyr, PhD Researcher in the Department for Health at University of Bath and guest scholar at Gender Studies.
