*2012 Gender Institute*****
*Theme: African Sexualities*****
*Date: 4th – 22nd June, 2012*****
Venue: Dakar, Senegal****
****
*DEADLINE: 13th APRIL, 2012*****
*Call for Applications*****
****
Every year since 1994, the Council for the Development of Social Science
Research in Africa (CODESRIA) has organized a Gender Institute which brings
together between 12 and 15 researchers for 3 weeks of concentrated debate,
experience-sharing and knowledge-building. Initially aimed at promoting
widespread awareness of the concept of gender in the social science
research community, the institute has subsequently been organized around
specific themes designed to strengthen the integration of gender analysis
into social science research in Africa and encourage the emergence of a
community of researchers versed in the field of gender studies.****
*Organization*****
The activities of all CODESRIA institutes centre on presentations by
African researchers, resource persons from the continent and the Diaspora,
and participants whose applications for participation as laureates have
been successful. The sessions are led by a scientific director who, with
the support of resource persons, ensures that the laureates are exposed to
a wide range of research and policy issues. Each laureate is required to
prepare a research paper to be presented during the institute. The revised
version of such a paper will undergo a peer review for publication by
CODESRIA. The CODESRIA Documentation and Information Centre (CODICE) will
provide participants with a comprehensive bibliography on the theme of the
institute. Access to a number of documentation centers in and around Dakar
will also be facilitated. The CODESRIA Gender Institute will be held in
both English and French through simultaneous interpretation.****
*Theme *****
The 2012 edition of the Gender Institute will study *African
Sexualities*by exploring the links between the human body, gender and
sexuality. This
issue is not to be considered on the sidelines of development because it is
one of its facets. Indeed, it is about the life of men and women, their
privacy and desires, their relationships with their bodies and the social
standards that govern the latter, their identities and the recognition of
rights that go with anything that refers to policy, society and law.****
Patriarchal society, the colonial and post-colonial contexts show that the
male body and the female body bear cultural meanings and representations
that reflect power relations within society. How then, from a
constructivist perspective, can we dispense with African epistemologies of
the body by breaking away from a legacy that still bears the imprint of
some anthropological vision of African sexualities, with a whiff of
ethnocentrism or even racism. The issue of African sexuality can be
considered as the matching piece to the discourse on the Other, the way it
was imagined, invented and represented, as shown by the illustrative
example of Sarah Bartmann. It is necessary, as part of a theoretical
re-appropriation, to not confine ourselves to a biomedical and inevitably
simplistic framework imposed by the issue of reproduction and which has
been overwhelmed by the issue of AIDS.****
From a methodological point of view, how can the postcolonial or feminist
theory, Marxism or postmodernism help to deconstruct stereotypes in order
to better analyze the complexities of African sexualities? How can we go
beyond the binary system postulated by gender to understand sexual
diversity? How can we account for the changing representations of sexuality
when it results from several factors: contact with other cultures,
urbanization or exile, or even the pervasiveness of television, film or the
Internet on the lives of African people today? Furthermore, the role of the
crisis in this dynamic vision of sexualities has transformed family
structures or compelled men and women to engage in various practices,
including sex trade sometimes. How can one understand not only the role
played by law in maintaining a gendered society in which women are
subordinate to men, but also all the ideological forms that justify the
social control over sexualities and inform the strategies to fight against
the AIDS pandemic?****
Analyzing African sexualities also means revisiting the issue of genital
mutilation, gender-based violence based and homosexuality. The context of
globalization that takes a critical look at the universal sphere, by giving
greater visibility to the demand for and recognition of diversity and by
crystallizing identities and traditions, makes this debate essential in
Africa. Can the dissemination of a culture of human rights globally content
itself with the objection to homosexuality on behalf of African culture?
Indeed, this context of male domination which poses heterosexuality as a
dominant normative framework should not obscure the issue of secondary
sexualities.****
*Specific Objectives*****
The specific objectives of the 2012 edition of the Gender Institute are the
following: ****
- To critically review the legal and judicial constructions of
sexuality and identify how it interacts with gender and other power
structures ;****
- To deepen the understanding of gender policy and sexual
diversity within the universality of human rights, legal pluralism and
cultural relativism;****
- To make a gendered analysis of African responses to the AIDS
pandemic.****
At the end of the institute, participants would have acquired analytical
tools that would enabling them to critically analyze the legal standards
and concepts that are apparently universal and objective, neutral in terms
of gender. They will also be able to perceive and understand the subtle
ways in which law, culture and society have always perpetuated gender
discriminations.****
*Sub-themes*****
-Theorizing sexualities ****
- Feminist theory and women’s sexualities ****
- Sexuality and policies ****
-Sexuality and patriarchal family****
-Gender and sex-based violence ****
-The rights to reproductive and sexual health****
-Sexual control, resistance and subversion****
- Homo/bi-sexuality****
- Sexuality, ages, classes and cultures****
-Sexuality, gender and handicap****
- Culture, religion and sexuality****
-The gender dimensions of AIDS ****
- Sexualities in urban and rural areas ****
- The representations of sexuality****
The 2012 Gender Institute will be directed by *Professor Sylvia Tamale*,
one of the most eminent African experts on Gender. As Director of the
Institute, Professor Tamale will:****
• Participate in the selection of laureates;****
• Assist with the identification of appropriate resource persons; *
***
• Interact with resource persons and laureates towards adequate
preparation for the Institute;****
• Design the courses for the session, including the specification
of sub-themes;****
• Deliver a set of lectures and conduct a critical analysis of the
papers presented by resource persons and laureates;****
• Submit a written scientific report on the session****
Professor Sylvia Tamale will (co) edit the revised versions of the papers
presented by the resource persons with a view to submitting them for
publication by CODESRIA. She will also assist CODESRIA in the assessment of
papers to be presented by laureates during the Institute. ****
*Resource Persons *****
Lectures to be delivered at the Institute are intended to offer laureates
an opportunity to advance their reflections on the theme of the Institute.
Resource persons should therefore be senior scholars or researchers who
have published extensively on the topic and who have significant
contributions to make to the debates on it. They will be expected to
produce lecture materials which are capable of stimulating laureates to
engage in discussion and debate around the lectures and the general body of
literature available on the theme.****
Once selected, resource persons must:****
- Interact with the Director of the Institute and laureates to
help the latter readjust their research questions and their methodological
approach;****
- Submit a copy of their course material for reproduction and
distribution to participants not later than one week before the time for
the delivery of their lectures; ****
- Deliver their lectures, participate in debates and comment on
the research proposals and papers of the laureates; ****
- Review and submit the revised version of their lecture notes or
research papers for publication by CODESRIA, not later than two months
after their presentation at the Institute.****
****
*Laureates*****
Candidates should be Masters or PhD students or scholars in the early stage
of their careers, with a proven capacity to conduct research on the theme
of the Institute. Intellectuals active in the area of policy process and/or
social movements and civil society organizations are also encouraged to
apply. The number of places available for laureates of this Institute is
only fifteen (15). Non-African scholars who are able to raise funds for
their participation may also apply for a limited number of places.****
