Whenever history is displayed, performed, or staged publicly, gender is performed as well. The workshop will focus on forms of doing history which rest on bodily, immersive, and experiential approaches and highlight playful, multi-sensory or personal engagements with the past. It will explore the nexus between modes of doing history and doing gender by
addressing the following questions:How are notions of history and gender being co-produced in practices of doing history, when, e.g., the unstable categories of gender are regarded and performed as stable, and conservative gender behavior is thus further cemented? How do perceptions of history and gender reinforce or challenge each other in action? Laying emphasis on sensorial, physical approaches to history opens up further questions
about the role of body knowledge. In which ways is understanding of gender and history located in or attached to the bodies performing them and what epistemic power is attributed to physically experiencing gender and/in history?

The Leibniz Institute for the History and Culture of Eastern Europe (GWZO) focuses its research on the region between the Baltic Sea, the Black Sea and the Adriatic from late antiquity until the present day in a comparative perspective. We examine transformations,
interrelationships and entanglements in a globalizing world. The institute thus seeks to contribute to a deeper understanding of political, economic and social developments in the countries, societies and cultures of East Central and Eastern Europe.
