**************
5-7 February 2015, University of Vienna. Body Discourses / Body Politics and Agency. Interntional Symposium
Stream Biopolitical Regulation of Bodies/Corporealities in “Eastern” and “Western” Discourses
Our stream presented and intensified the exchange and networking between the international independent research and education project Bodypolitix.me: Политики Телесности and experts from related fields in Belarus, Russia, Kazakhtan and Ukraine . Focusing on different mechanisms of regulating (non-normative) bodies, our guest speakers analyzed the processes of gendering, racialization, fragmentation and optimization in different counties and conexts from a biopolitical perspective. Asking for the relationship between “Western” European practices of governing bodies and “Eastern” discourses, we discussed in what ways hegemonic “Western” discourses on sexuality take shape within (dominant and marginal) discourses and forms of governmentality in counries like Russia and Belarus, and how such discourses are represented on a global level.
Panel on Piopolitics, Body Normalization & Reproducion (Masha Neufed, Sasha Skorykh, Tatsiana Shchurko, Veronika Siegl)
Alexandrina Vanke’s wonderful report on the syposium (in Russian)
Performance by Maria Vilkovisky and Ruth Jenderbekova “Anthropometric Data Easily Obtained”
