Im Rahmen des Graduiertenkollegs „Das Dokumentarische. Exzess und Entzug“ an der Universität Bochum findet am 24. Januar 2019 der Workshop „(Self-)Documentation, (Self-)Performance and (Self-)Constitution of Gendered Cultural Identities in Comics and Literature“ statt.
Die Veranstaltung – organisiert von Esra Canpalat und der ComFor-Vorsitzenden Véronique Sina – verspricht u. a. einen Zeichenworkshop, sowie Impulse und Diskussionen von und mit der Comickünstlerin Sarah Lightman und Béatrice Hendrich, Juniorprofessorin am Orientalischen Seminar der Universität zu Köln.
Veranstaltungsankündigung:
„Assuming that visual and literary representations should always be looked at in context of their cultural and socio-political background, the interdisciplinary workshop aims at analysing (auto-)biographical comics of Jewish artists and literary works by Turkish writers. By focusing on different kind of identity policies that are being evoked in textual/visual media, the workshop will shed light on the question how (self-)documentation, (self-)performance and (self-)constitution of gendered cultural identities are being inscribed in (auto-)biographical comics and Turkish literature and culture. Bringing together the drawn line and the written word, an emphasis will be placed on the question how gendered cultural identities are being constructed, documented and negotiated within different media constellations. By doing so, the workshop will examine various conceptions of identity and their (de-)construction in comics and literary texts, paying specific attention to mechanisms of hegemonic exclusion(s) as well as manifestations of heteronormative structures and allocations in both media.“
