[IGALA] Call for Papers: Queer Kinship: Affects, Families, Bonds, Siena 9-10 April 2024

[Antosa, Silvia]

Dear all,

The international conference *Queer Kinship: Affects, Families, Bonds* aims
to open up a space for critical debate on these issues and to develop
interdisciplinary scholarly networks. It is the first of three conferences
on this theme that will be held in 2024-2025, in Siena (Italy), Birmingham
(UK) and Toronto (CA).

The three conferences constitute different stages of a research project on
affective bonds and queer families from an inter- and transdisciplinary
perspective, which seeks to identify emerging trends in cultural
representation, and to develop new methodologies for analysing
socio-cultural and discursive phenomena in a plural, multicultural and
inclusive optic.

Conference organisers:
Silvia Antosa (Università per Stranieri di Siena, IT)
Charlotte Ross (University of Birmingham, UK)
Paolo Frascà (University of Toronto, CA)

Conference languages: English and Italian
