Transnational Feminisms Conference, 4-5 December 2009, UK

Drawing on the impact of postcolonial feminism and its enactments, this conference will examine how women are affected by political systems in a global climate, how feminism translates and moves across borders, and how feminism can be utilised as a methodology for understanding the transnational context.
Here the transnational is understood to be a complication of notions of the 'elsewhere', highlighting the challenges of fluidity, movement and instability whilst also paying close attention to locatedness. This is a feminism that is engaged with the woman-as-subject without making universalising claims regarding women's experience; it both considers how gender operates and critiques categorisation.

off_pride. The Alternative Queer Festival June 5 - 7, 2009, Zurich (Switzerland)

It offers a refreshingly uncanny platform for you to explore queer/trans*-lifestyles beyond consumption, conformity and commercialization.
