The second conference took place in Lisbon (2013), third in Rome (2015), and fourth in Barcelona (2017). Based on the collective nomination reached by the members of the EGCS international scientific committee in Barcelona, accepted byMichal Pitoňák; the fifth conference is organized in Prague by non-governmental organization Queer Geography with support of Charles University (Faculty of Science) and Czech geographical society. We are thankful to all partners for allowing us to continue with the tradion of this biennial event. This year’s conference aims to continue with the dynamic, diverse, and international development of research that intersects not only with diverse sexualities and genders but also with other axes of human difference. Our conference invites scholars, professionals, activists, and other interested participants who work across multiple scholarly disciplines or geographical contexts. We strive to create a respectful space for open debate and discussion. We hope that the following showing the diversity of delegate based on institutions or organizations that they represent testifies how diverse is our scholarly community.

STAFF STAFF SPEAKING SPEAKING ENGLISH CZECH 8 THE GENERAL CONFERENCE CALL FOR ABSTRACTS OVERCOMING HEGEMONIES AND HIERARCHIES: TOWARDS A MORE HORIZONTAL AND TRANSNATIONAL GEOGRAPHIES OF SEXUALITIES Many authors now recognize existing Anglophone and Eurocentric epistemological hegemonies (Blažek & Rochovská, 2006; Brown & Browne, 2016, Kulpa & Silva, 2016) as well as racial, class and gender privilege in the production of knowledge (Taylor 2013; Johnston 2018). However, we have been less concrete in identifying actual barriers and stayed largely silent about the actual ways, tools and/or courageous visions by which it would be possible to overcome and/or deconstruct these barriers (Kulpa & Silva, 2016; Timár & G.Fekete, 2010; Tlostanova, 2014). Silencing subjects, ridiculing themes and studies, restricting access to resources, and perpetuating language fetishism are only a few examples of how these hierarchies are played out. Despite the acknowledgments, the hegemony of this knowledge production continues to have a substantial impact on the shape of (not only European) discourses and power relations within feminist, gender, sexuality, and queer studies. If we narrow the broad field of geographies of sexualities to the Anglo-American academia, then we can say that it is established and represents a rich field of inquiry (Bell and Valentine 1995; Browne, Lim, and Brown 2007; Johnston and Longhurst 2008). We have also seen significant advancements of the sub-field in different contexts beyond Anglo- American academia (Sibalis 2004; BASSDA 2006; Ferreira and Salvador 2014; Silva and Vieira 2014). However, it is safe to say that the sexuality scholarship as such remains largely “Western-oriented,” both methodologically and discursively. Until today, only limited attention has been given to geographies of sexualities in “other,” or rather “othered” contexts and regions such as Central and Eastern Europe, Central Asia, and many more (Kulpa and Mizielinska 2011; Stella 2013; Navickaitė 2014; Szulc 2018). We need to ask ourselves why we are not interested in these contexts that may lay outside of (y)our “interest-zones,” “comfort-zones,” “language-proficiency-zones,” etc. Why do we not seek geographies of sexualities from different vantage points, empowering fellow scholars “elsewhere”? Disempowerment may be based upon various power-relations involving “old” discussions within academia regarding qualitative/quantitative, objective/subjective, essentialist/constructionist that perhaps aim to police disciplinary boundaries, hierarchize the proper from improper ways of doing geography (Browne & Nash 2018). When some scholars feel urged to seek and “police,” what they believe to be proper and/or “true” subject matter of geography. Consequently, questions and discussions regarding disciplinarity of geography, in/appropriateness or out-of- placeness of geographies of sexualities as well as feminist and/or gender geographies should receive more attention. Those who did succeed with their “fight for recognition” are encouraged to share their stories and those who still do need to be empowered by others, regardless of the various national or academic boundaries. Learning from each other and seeking new ways in which we can help each other may give birth to new types of collaborations

Title: Just Go Find Yourself a Nice Alpha: Gender and Consent in Supernatural Fanfiction’s Alpha/Beta/Omega Universe. Abstract approved:_____________________________________________________ Rebecca Olson Shows, books, and media are constantly negotiating power with their fans. Who decides what is canon? To whom does the story belong?? The answer has traditionally been in favor of producers. However, in the age of the internet, fans now hold considerably more power than they ever have before, and some shows, like the CW’s Supernatural, respond by participating in “fanservice.” Many fans of this show strongly support slash and incest pairings, and by allowing such interpretations to be acknowledged in the narrative Supernatural makes increasingly transgressive readings available to the audience. The trope known as “Alpha/Beta/Omega Dynamics” is extremely popular, borderline pornographic, and virtually eradicates women from the narrative—instead depicting a relationship between men that is highly heterosexual in dynamic. This trope deconstructs the gender binary by assigning gender roles based on behavior, rather than biology, and appeals to an animal code of ethics in order to indulge in problematic, sexist, and abusive sexual situations.

  • What Does Gender Mean in Regendered Characters
    What Does Gender Mean in Regendered Characters Author Baker, Lucy Published 2017-12-31 Thesis Type Thesis (PhD Doctorate) School School of Hum, Lang & Soc Sc DOI https://doi.org/10.25904/1912/2211 Copyright Statement The author owns the copyright in this thesis, unless stated otherwise. Downloaded from http://hdl.handle.net/10072/380299 Griffith Research Online https://research-repository.griffith.edu.au WHAT DOES GENDER MEAN IN REGENDERED CHARACTERS Ms Lucy Irene Baker, BA (Hons), MAppSci(Lib&InfoMgmt) School of Humanities, Languages, and Social Science Griffith University Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 31 December 2017 21 Abstract This thesis examines the ways regendering, or ‘genderswapping’, is performed as an adaptational creative choice for fans and creators. Regendered works, such as the TV series Elementary, illustrate the complexity of representation, and the ongoing imbalanced landscape of media. I develop a more cohesive understanding of the fannish counterpublic and its complex approaches to creativity and gender by grounding the research and data collection in fan studies, gender studies, and literary theory. This thesis uses interviews, surveys, and observations of fannish communities, and close readings of regendered texts and media, to develop two theories of regendered effects. One: the position of regendered work within fannish counterpublics is one centred on the conflicts and tensions between lived experiences and the media landscape, performed through the creative forms that characterise their communities. Fannish experiences of gender and sexuality influence their reception of those works, and how they practice regendering as a creative process. Two: these works then reinforce that counterpublic by correcting the gender imbalance of the initial work, and re-othering the expectations of that work.

    Fascination/Frustration: Slash Fandom, Genre, and Queer Uptake Taylor Boulware A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2017 Reading Committee: Thomas Foster, Chair Anis Bawarshi Katherine Cummings Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Department of English Fascination/Frustration: Slash Fandom, Genre, and Queer Uptake by Taylor Boulware The University of Washington, 2017 Under the Supervision of Professor Dr. Thomas Foster ABSTRACT This dissertation examines contemporary television slash fandom, in which fans write and circulate creative texts that dramatize non-canonical queer relationships between canonically heterosexual male characters. These texts contribute to the creation of global networks of affective and social relations, critique the specific corporate media texts from which they emerge, and undermine homophobic ideologies that prevent authentic queer representation in mainstream media. Intervening in dominant scholarly and popular arguments about slash fans, I maintain a rigorous distinction between the act of reading homoerotic subtexts in TV shows and writing fiction that makes that homoeroticism explicit, in every sense of the word.This emphasis on writing and the circulation of responsive, recursive texts can best be understood, I argue, through the framework of Rhetorical Genre Studies, which theorizes genres and the ways in which they are deployed, modified, and circulated as ideological and social action. I nuance the RGS concept of uptake, which names the generic dimensions of utterance and response, and define my concept of queer uptake, in which writers respond to a text in ways that refuse its generic boundaries and status, motivated by an ideological resistance to both genre and sexual normativity.

  • Amy Mcmunn SLSP2690 Racism, Ethnicity, Migration and Decolonial Studies Module Convenor: Dr Ipek Demir
    Amy McMunn SLSP2690 Racism, Ethnicity, Migration and Decolonial Studies Module Convenor: Dr Ipek Demir If you would like to cite this work, please use: McMunn, Amy (2020) ‘On Brexit’ SLSP2690 Student Paper, University of Leeds. Introduction On June 23rd, 2016, Britain voted to withdraw from the European Union with a narrow majority of 52% (Antonucci et al., 2017). Dominant rhetoric attributes the Leave vote to the left-behind Britons disseminating the idea of Brexit as an expression of the predominantly white angry working class (Antonucci et al., 2017). Disguising Brexit as the economic anxieties of the white economically marginalised is methodological whiteness, disregarding the role of race (Bhambra, 2017a). The lack of recognition of those left-behind voting Remain, crucially ethnic minorities, highlights the necessity to understand Brexit in racial and cultural terms. This essay proceeds to identify the majority of Leave voters as middle-class southerners provoking cross-class analysis considering individual values, looking beyond simply the left-behinds (Antonucci et al., 2017). The overarching drivers behind Brexit stem from society’s transition to progressive cultural views which has fostered multicultural resentment and anti- immigration sentiment amongst those in declining economic positions and nostalgic towards Britain’s imperial past (Antonucci et al., 2017; Namusoke, 2016). Caution should be taken when approaching the adopted mantra that the left-behinds caused Brexit as evidence reveals the vote was a “cross-class allegiance to whiteness,” (Virdee & McGeever, 2018. p.1810) fuelled by misplaced nostalgia and desire for the resurgence of white privilege (Namusoke, 2016). Exploration of why the left-behind view has so much purchase reveals the long-term political reproduction of the colourisation of the globalisation losers as white which must not be so readily accepted.
