SUMMARY:New Voices Winter Term 22/23 Talk Series on Women and their body: Willemijn Ruberg
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: When protesters against compulsory Covid-vaccination and face masks shouted ‘my body\, my right’\, this slogan strangely reverberated earlier feminist demands of bodily autonomy. It reminded us of how strongly the right to bodily autonomy and integrity has become associated with women’s bodies. Especially in recent human rights discourse\, bodily integrity often refers to protection from female genital mutilation. However\, a historical perspective can reveal the gendered and racialized notions of the body that have been informing the notion of bodily integrity. \nThe history of human rights has come to be written as a mostly progressivist history of the increasing inclusion of human rights -based on a universal body- in covenants. Scholars point to several originating moments of the right to bodily integrity/autonomy: early modern contract theory; the Enlightenment emphasis on equality; the abolition of slavery; human rights treaties formulated after the Second World War (such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948) and the European Convention on Human Rights (1950)); the movement for patients’ rights; and feminism in the 1970s-1980s. \nIn this paper\, I analyze specific forensic practices in which the right to bodily integrity came to be formulated. For instance\, in the Netherlands in the mid-twentieth century the bodily integrity of convicted male sex offenders was safeguarded in the debate on castration as a condition for early release from prison. At Heathrow Airport in 1968-1979\, official virginity tests were performed on Southeast Asian immigrant women to ensure the protection of white British women and the British social security system. Meanwhile\, the physical examination of female rape victims\, for a long time done with the physicians’ fingers\, was only qualified as ‘second rape’ by feminists from the 1980s. It is in these practices\, I argue\, that the gendered body and its boundaries are shaped. They unveil that the body that is entitled to bodily integrity often belongs to the (white) male suspect\, not to the female victim. \nBiography: Willemijn Ruberg is associate professor of cultural history at Utrecht University\, the Netherlands. Her research interests include the history of gender\, body\, knowledge\, medicine and psychiatry. She is currently the Principal Investigator of the research project ‘Forensic Culture. A Comparative Analysis of Forensic Cultures in Europe\, 1930-2000’\, funded by an ERC Consolidator Grant (2018-2023). In 2020 she published the book History of the Body in the History and Theory series of Palgrave Macmillan/Red Globe Press. Her most recent articles include: 1) (with Siska van der Plas)\, ‘An astonishing human failure’. The influence of gender on the image of perpetrators of infanticide in the courtroom and crime reporting in the Netherlands\, 1960-1989. The History of the Family.

SUMMARY:Women and their body
DESCRIPTION:Recent events have shown that it is urgent and fundamentally important to shed new light\, through philosophical\, linguistic\, literary\, scientific\, medical and artistic perspectives\, on the female body and the position of women in relation to their body. Too often it seems that women do not have the right to determine their own body\, although men have never been deprived of this right. The question of power over the body is strongly linked to the distinction between men and women. It seems that men have more rights and power on their own body than women. But how is this possible? What is the status of the female body in culture and society? Why is the female body both\, an object of desire and a battlefield for demonstrating male power? To what extent have medicine and technology interfered in recent years with the female body and with what consequences? \nThe conference Women and their body intends to enlarge the network by making it more interdisciplinary\, starting with a multidisciplinary Talk Series and Conference. Early scholars as well as established researchers are invited to send abstracts covering different fields in the humanities\, speaking about Women and their body. New Voices is a place to connect and to foster communication on our work. \nIn the Talk Series from Winter 2022/23\, there are 6 meetings/dates (completely on Zoom) and on March\, 15th\, 16th and 17th 2023\, an international\, hybrid conference will take place\, with a Masterworkshop on March 15th. \nRegistration is now open to everybody interested in the subject (no registration fees): https://indico.uni-paderborn.de/event/21/ \n  \nFor further information or any question\, please feel free to send an email to contact@historyofwomenphilosophers.org
