Synopsis

The Body and Representation: The Centre for Feminist Studies Meets the ifu The present work is the result of the cooperation between the Centre for Femi­ nist Studies (ZFS) at the University of Bremen and the International Women's University Hanover 2000 (ifu). For the project area Body (deans: Prof. Patricia McFadden and Prof. Barbara Duden), in which roughly one hundred fifty par­ ticipants from all over the world took part/ the Centre for Feminist Studies de­ veloped and organized a two-week study phase, The Body and Representation: Feminist Research and Theoretical Perspectives, which was carried out on the campus of the University of Bremen from 30 July to 11 August 2000 (concept and chair: Prof. Sigrid Schade; collaboration I coordination: Dr. Insa Hartel). It formed the third and fourth weeks of a program that lasted thirteen weeks in all. This publication is neither a documentation of this study phase nor an "ideal" concept for such a curriculum. Neither of these possible variants for such a publication was feasible, and neither would have made much sense, for a number of reasons.
