Vision, memory, spectacle: The Australian Women's and Gender Studies Association International Conference

8 -11 July 2008

Feminism's reputation for excess and spectacle persevere in media images and popular memory, but how do we remember the vision(aries) of earlier feminisms?

• How is feminism screened?
• Is there agency in spectacle?
• How do current shifts in visual culture affect gender relations (does feminism have a SecondLife)?
• And does it matter, if women are still spectacularly poor in the corporation of the world?

This conference pursued the visual, memory and spectacle in diverse forms, as well as topics that furthered understandings of gender and sexuality, race and class, historically and in contemporary everyday life.
