Book presentation Vol. 27 Gender and Postsecularity in Visual Culture and Knowledge Production

Welcome: Rektor Johan Hartle, Academy of Fine Arts Vienna
Speakers: Sabine Grenz, Doris Guth, Kim Knibbe und Maki Kimura

Over the last three decades, religious practices and belongings have gained increased visibility across the globe, turning secularity and its relationship with religion into subjects of intense interdisciplinary and international debate. Previously marginalized in gender studies, the secular and the religious now attract growing interest in academic and activist feminism, prompting a critical reflection on secularity’s emancipatory potential. This publication aims to foster this interest by providing a platform for interdisciplinary and transregional discussions on the complex dynamics of secularity, religiosity, and gender, as well as new approaches to explore these relationships.

The book presentation will take place as part of the “Gender Talks” organized by the Gender Research Office of the University of Vienna. It will be followed by a roundtable discussion moderated by Sabine Grenz.
