會議說明：

1986年，Joan Scott在《美國歷史評論》上發表了一篇名為〈性別：一項有用的歷史分析範疇〉（Gender: A Useful Category of Historical Analysis），此文一出便引起熱烈討論，學者們不僅揚棄了傳統以男性為中心的史觀，更是將婦女史研究往「性別」的層次邁進。距離Joan Scott這篇文章的出版已經歷時30年，性別史研究在歷經學界內部後現代、後殖民、「酷兒」（Queer）理論乃至於全球史研究的洗禮，學界外部政治、社會氛圍和女權運動的衝擊，在在呈現不同的風貌。過去單一視角的性別史研究，已然無法饜足吾人的知識渴求。即便只侷限於人文社會科學，要如何尋求性別史研究的多元視野，大概會是性別史研究者的最大公約數。

本次會議的主軸就試圖從這個角度出發，討論跨「界」的性別史研究。所謂的跨「界」有三項意涵。首先，是尋求跨領域（inter-disciplinary）的對話，不被僵化的學科邊界所限。其次，是打破地理空間的邊界，從跨國研究的角度入手。換言之，過去以為理所當然、習以為常的現象，如果將之置放進國際的脈絡，可能就會出現不同的意義。如何把「性別」放進不同的框架中，如何把「性別」放進不同的國族情境中，進行跨國或是區域的比較，是本次會議的宗旨。我們甚至可以討論作為性別史研究後進者的東亞諸國，能夠提供什麼樣的思想刺激，反饋給歐美的性別史研究者。我們不在於挑戰歐洲中心論或是去中心（de-center），我們要做的是修正歐洲中心論，重新置放中心（re-center）。最後，是打破線性時間的界域，提供想像性別史研究的新視野。如何將歷時性的「性別」研究，置放於共時性的脈絡進行討論，是我們措意的焦點之一。甚至是「過去」的性別史研究，可以為「現在」的婦女運動，甚至是「未來」的婦女權利，提供何種思想上的奧援，也是殊值重視的焦點。

本會接受有主題的論文組（panel）或個別論文的投稿，論文撰寫與大會使用的語言為中文或英文。每組 (panel) 參與學者以不超過五位（包括主持人、論文發表人、評論人）為原則，發表論文最多四篇。繳送內容包括：與會學者之姓名、職銜與聯絡方式；論文組主題及摘要（500字內）；每篇論文題目及摘要（250字內）。個別論文報名者請提供姓名、職銜、論文題目及摘要（250字內）。本會將針對論文與主題進行評審，並於2020年1月15日公佈評審結果。錄取者請於7月15日繳交論文全文。

與會學者交通費請自理，大會將提供與會學者（大臺北地區以外）3天住宿，從2020年8月17日入住，20日退房。為鼓勵青年學者參加，本會特設交通補助，供海外的博士後研究人員及助理教授申請，擇優錄取。交通補助申請截止日為2020年6月1日，申請時須繳交論文全文。

About the Conference

Date: August 18–19, 2020
Location: Institute of Modern History, Academia Sinica
Deadline for submission: December 15, 2019

About the Conference:
Since the publishing of the 1986 paper “Gender: A Useful Category of Historical Analysis” by Joan Scott in the American Historical Review, a wave of fervent discussion has ensued, ranging from the abandoning of traditional male-centric modes of thought to academic circles within women’s history orientating their research towards gender. In the last three decades, gender history research has been incessantly undergoing change, receiving influence from within academia—post-modernism, post-colonialism, queer theory, etc.—and from external forces, such as political or social factors and women’s movements. Past scholarship with a singular focus on gender, however, has been unable to realize the aim of advancing more holistic approaches. Despite being largely limited to humanities and social sciences, this task of how to better foster comprehensive perspectives has been assumed by researchers of gender history in particular.

In light of this, the goal of this conference is to explore gender history theories and practices which are able to cross “boundaries,” which here denotes three specific connotations. First, we desire to engage in inter-disciplinary dialogues, of which have not become rigid in spite of the often static boundaries separating academic disciplines. Second is the crossing of geographic boundaries from transnational perspectives. How does one place “gender” within different frameworks? Within different national contexts? To further explore these questions, this conference intends to consider both transnational approaches and regional comparisons. Gender history research being conducted in East Asia has largely followed in the wake of Western approaches and theories, and thus in a broader sense, which insights are we able to contribute to the field of gender history? This desire is not rooted in efforts to de-center or challenge Western practices, but rather we aim to re-center or revise these very same practices. Finally, this conference seeks to break through the temporal boundaries of linear approaches to gender history and provide new perspectives regarding imagined gender history research. How does one (re)position diachronic “gender” within synchronic contexts? For instance, a point of emphasis worth our attention is the phenomenon of “past” gender research being “present” women’s movements, as well as “future” women’s rights.          

This conference is accepting panels with a clear central theme and individual submissions. Submissions and presentations may be in either Chinese or English. Each panel should not exceed a total of 5 individuals, including a moderator, the presenters, and a discussant, and may present up to 4 papers. Submissions must include the following: name, academic title or position, contact information, and an abstract. For panel submissions, please include the title and an abstract (500 words or less) of the panel as well as the titles and abstracts (250 words or less) of each associated paper. For individual submissions, please include the title and an abstract (250 words or less) of the paper. The conference will announce the results on January 15, 2020. The deadline for the completed paper is July 15, 2020.           

The conference will provide participating scholars outside of the greater Taipei area with accommodation for up to three nights: August 17–20, 2020. Participants are asked to provide transportation costs themselves. To encourage the attendance of young scholars, the conference has limited funding for travel allowances with priority given to postdoctoral researchers and assistant professors. The application deadline for travel allowances is June 1, 2020. At the time of applying, application materials must include the completed paper.
