Murderous Mothers and Mother Murderers / Special Conference Stream within The Evil, Women and the Feminine Project

Murderous Mothers and Mother Murderers Special Conference Stream within The Evil, Women and the Feminine Project Wednesday 6th May - Friday 8th May 2015 Dubrovnik, Croatia Call for Presentations: While many stereotypes have changed over time in Western culture, the one of the Mother remains strong and unyielding. Rather than being viewed as a biological role, motherhood is often a social role with prescribed behaviours. Mothers are expected to be fiercely protective, warmly nurturing, selfless and competent. Given this discourse, it is not surprising that filicide, the murder of one's children, is often viewed as the most monstrous of all acts. This form of murder is seen as the most taboo of all actions, a violation of both the trust and expectations of the victim and also of normative society. The

Call for Papers for the Panel: Europe and the European Union: Politicizing Europeanness (As part of 5th Euroacademia International Conference: Europe Inside-Out: Europe and Europeanness Exposed to Plural Observers, Barcelona, 27 – 28 March 2015) Deadline for paper proposals: 25th of February 2015 Europe and the European Union: Politicizing Europeanness Panel Description Historically, the EU is both curious and controversial: it is hard to explain from a state-centrist view the delegation of sovereignty and the fragile agreement on the gradual extension of the EU powers together with externalizations of the decision making to a polity that can be described, as Jacques Delors expressed it, as an unidentified political object.
