Call for Papers--
Gender and Space: South/ Southeast Asia
We invite critical essays for an interdisciplinary anthology on the
conceptualization of space in South and Southeast Asian contexts in the 19th
and 20th centuries. The emphasis is on a feminist analytics of women's and
men's experiences of space in such topics as political, social, and/or psychic
cartographies of imperialism, nationhood, urbanization, technological
production (cyberspace, etc.), (e)migration, enforced/ chosen exile, and
cosmopolitanism. Papers might also consider how narratives (visual, written,
spoken, enacted), spatial designs, and sociocultural practices configure race,
class, gender (also transgendering), sexuality, religion/ spirituality, and
the politics of public and private realms inside, between, and outside
predetermined boundaries. Countries: Thailand, Malaysia, Myanmar (Burma),
