Deadline: 02/20/09
Special issue of Wagadu: Journal of Transnational Women's and Gender Studies, Winter 2009
Deadline Extended. This issue will explore the possibilities of a dynamic flâneuse on urban modernity’s global stage in the 21st century. Today’s urban discourses admit flânerie’s application to globalizing cities far beyond the male-centered, European roots of the concept as developed by Charles Baudelaire and Walter Benjamin. This conceptual expansion is due in part to a renewed interest in modernity, which globalization has rekindled. Yet theoretical flânerie’s current global revival must incorporate the flâneuse with much more rigor. Wagadu will feature papers that analyze the feminine filtration of the urban for the late 20th and 21st centuries. Interdisciplinary contributions are invited from the areas of art, art history, anthropology, sociology, geography, sensory studies, and mobility studies, among other fields. Submit 1-page abstracts to kathryn.kramer@cortland.edu.
