*Rethinking Modern Greek Literature through Intersectional Approache*s



As a theoretical framework and a method of analysis, intersectionality has
come a long way since scholar and civil rights advocate Kimberlé Crenshaw
coined the term in 1989. Today intersectionality informs a wide range of
academic disciplines and fields while the term has also traveled beyond the
academy and has entered the public sphere of identity politics. By exposing
the intersections of identity alongside those of institutions and systems
that give rise to various forms of oppression, intersectionality seeks to
counter exclusionary analyses and disrupt hierarchies of oppression based
on gender, race, class, religion, age, sexuality, socioeconomic status,
ability, ethnicity and other social categories.



This panel welcomes proposals that employ intersectional analysis to Modern
Greek literature. The panel invites papers that examine intersectionality
as a form of literary practice alongside papers that reflect on the ways in
which struggles for gender, racial, ethnic, socioeconomic, religious and
other forms of social justice intersect in Modern Greek literature and form
interdependent phenomena. Comparative approaches that highlight Modern
Greek literature’s connections to other literatures and situate the former
in wider transnational or global geographical contexts are particularly
welcome.



Suggested topics include but are not limited to the following:



Modern Greek literature and white nationalism

Racialized sexist stereotypes of immigrant women in Modern Greek literature

Intersections of sexism and Islamophobia in Modern Greek literature

Modern Greek literature and intersectional feminism(s)

Intersections of migrant status and ethnicity in Modern Greek literature

Social justice and Modern Greek literature

Oppression, inequality, disadvantage and Modern Greek literature

Intersections of power and privilege in Modern Greek literature

Gendered representations of the Greek nation in Modern Greek literature

Intersections of patriarchy and classism in Modern Greek literature

Intersections of sites of difference in Modern Greek Translation Studies



Deadline for submissions:

*Please submit 350-word abstracts and a bio to **nklapaki at uw.edu*
<nklapaki at uw.edu> *by March 15th 2020.*



The panel is sponsored by the Modern Greek Studies Association.
