style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt"><FONT face=Times>The turn to new theories and practices
of the archive in critical theory, cultural studies, <SPAN> </SPAN>queer
theory, philosophy, sociology and associated disciplines has had important
repercussions for scholars working on histories and philosophies of the
body.<SPAN> </SPAN>This international conference will examine the impact
of innovative recent work on archives and archival practice for sexuality
studies, gender studies and queer/GLBT studies.<SPAN> </SPAN>The
conference aims to interrogate how knowledge about the body is collected and
held, as well as how it is produced.<SPAN> </SPAN>Drawing together
scholars from a broad range of inter-disciplinary fields, it will highlight
scholarship about bodies, genders and sexuality that is empirically grounded,
document based, historically inflected, theoretically informed and
self-conscious of its relationship to archival practice. </FONT></SPAN></P>

style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt"><FONT face=Times>By calling attention to the
relationship between “knowledge of bodies” and “bodies of knowledge,” the
conference also intends to showcase sexuality-related work in the archives,
library and information sciences fields. We are particularly interested in work
that examines sexual knowledges retrieved from state archives; community-based
archives that preserve forms of sexual knowledge not valued by the state;
distribution of and access to sexual knowledge on the Internet and World-Wide
Web; and work that understands both body and mind as metaphorical “archives”
that hold knowledge of sexuality. </FONT></SPAN></P>
