More information and call for papers
The University Institute for Women's Studies (IUEM) of the University of La Laguna invites you to the III International Symposium “Exclusions, violence and precarious lives. Against the mass production of vulnerability” to be held in San Cristóbal de La Laguna, Tenerife (Canary Islands, Spain) on February 27 and 28, 2019.
In November 2014, we held our first Symposium, entitled “Transnationalism, Gender, and Migration,” at the Adeje campus of the University of La Laguna. In July 2016, we held a second Symposium, entitled “The Southern Borders: Vulnerability, Gender, and Intersectional Approaches,” this time at the Guajara campus of the University of La Laguna. In this third edition, we aim to problematize what we identify as the mass production of vulnerability linked to economic, labor, migration, and security policies. The precarity of work and life has become the predominant characteristic of the present and requires rigorous critical scrutiny. Therefore, we invite researchers who address related aspects from the Humanities and Social Sciences to participate in this Third Symposium..
This activity is part of the project “Justice, Citizenship, and Vulnerability: Narratives of Precarity and Intersectional Approaches” (FFI2015-63895-C2-1-R), linked to the University Institute for Women's Studies at the University of La Laguna (ULL), and funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Universities, with the collaboration of the Tenerife Island Council's María Rosa Alonso program. This Symposium, whose objectives align with the research project, aims to systematically review and re-examine the relationship between justice and vulnerability, in order to identify the challenges that theories of justice and citizenship must address within a socio-economic context of the mass and systemic production of precarity. It also seeks to trace the denigrating and humiliating uses of language against excluded groups in media discourse and rhetoric, which contribute to the creation of cultural vulnerability for certain groups. Furthermore, it is enlightening to analyze, from an intersectional perspective (gender, class, ethnicity and migratory status), the precarization of women, linked to the commodification of female bodies in the global economy.
