Conference organised by the research initiative Political Epistemologies of Eastern Europe (PECEE) in cooperation with the Czech Academy of Sciences and the Leibniz-Institute for the History and Culture of Eastern Europe (GWZO) and Chair of Historical Transregional Studies, Faculty Center for Transdisciplinary Historical and Cultural Studies, University of Vienna.

Gendering Epistemologies – Gender and Situated Knowledge. Perspectives from Central, Eastern and Southeastern Europe

More than 30 years ago, Donna Haraway published her iconic essay “Situated Knowledge. The Science Question in Feminism and the Privilege of Partial Perspective”, where she discusses the issue of objectivity in feminism. She understands “objective knowledge” as bound to a specific historical point in time and space – precisely as “situated knowledge”. We seek to reflect its current pertinence, considering the differentiation of gender related debates from feminism to queer theories, to trans¬ activism and beyond, but also in the face of current social challenges like hate speech and fake news, conspiracy theories and public questioning of established scientific values. Thus, the conference “Gendering Epistemologies” looks at how gender-shaped (especially scientific) knowledge and truth claims are tied to gender (politics) in Central, Eastern and South-Eastern Europe in the 20th and 21st centuries.
