The end of the world has begun, and the blame is on us –or at least on some “us”. Floods and droughts, fires and hurricanes, large-scale chemical pollution and a growing loss of biodiversity: human-induced disasters multiply, as this multiplication unveils the disruption of biospheric equilibriums to a threshold of no-return. The world will carry on but, we begin to recognize, it will not be anymore suitable for a humanity that has unleashed the inhuman might of a revengefull Gaia. The “Anthropocene” is how the geosciences has named this agonistic moment in human-nature relations. Continue reading →

Gender, Bodies, & Technology (GBT) is an initiative within Women’s and Gender Studies at Virginia Tech that aims to explore the multiple, proliferating, and gendered dimensions of technologized bodies and embodied technologies. Through our initiative and interdisciplinary conference, we foreground research, theories, and performances that highlight the discursive and material nodes around which gender, bodies, and technologies both cohere and fracture. We invite scholars, activists, and artists from the humanities, social and natural sciences, visual and performing arts, life sciences, disability studies, STEM fields, and queer and feminist science studies to submit papers, panels, workshops, new media, art, film, and performance pieces that explore the intersections of gender, bodies & technology in contexts ranging from political protests and citizen science labs to electoral hacking and the #MeToo movement. How, we ask, might topics such as gene editing technologies, facial recognition software, Big Data, environmental crises, or Black superheroes produce new lines of inquiry when filtered through a GBT perspective?

El ensayo “Nuestra América” de José Martí se publicó en 1891 en Nueva York y Ciudad de México, en respuesta a la primera conferencia panamericana de 1890, en la cual se propuso al panamericanismo como una forma de conectar a América del Norte y del Sur. Invocamos y expandimos el mensaje de “Nuestra América” para promover una visión hemisférica de justicia e inclusión, en una era en la que la política mundial se desarrolla, con frecuencia, a partir de muros y fronteras aseguradas, en lugar del fomento de la justicia social y la democracia. Nuestro congreso se lleva a cabo en Boston, Massachusetts, el lugar de eventos clave en la revolución que resultó en la independencia estadounidense y —junto con otros episodios trascendentales de la “era de las revoluciones”, incluso la revolución haitiana que abolió la esclavitud— sentó las bases de las ideas contemporáneas sobre la democracia y la justicia.
