Proposal submission deadline: EXTENDED to April 22, 2024

This panel invites papers that explore how ekphrasis and musical form translate verbal language from one realm of sensory experience into another. Ekphrasis translates words into visual images, whereas musical form translates them into sounds and rhythms. Although ekphrasis and musical form mirror words, they directly affect the emotions at a primordial level not available to verbal articulation. How do music and the visual arts compare to literature? What are the differences between these modes of expression and how they affect their audiences? Proposals on ekphrasis, musical poetry, poetic music, or theories of intermediality from all periods are welcomed.

« The Translator at Work: Neutrality in Translation and Interpreting »

Translators and interpreters are expected to be neutral mediators who facilitate dialogue and enable understanding and cooperation between speakers who do not speak the same language. Research has shown, however, that the transfer of information from one language to another is rarely performed without making certain contributions that go beyond the mere rendition of the message being transferred. Translation is a product of cross-cultural interactions that requires linguistic and at times, sociopolitical or even ideological changes.

As an interdisciplinary academic field devoted to examining and critiquing the social, cultural, and historical constructions of masculinity, masculinity studies explores how masculinity is defined, performed, and experienced across different societies and time periods. This field intersects with various disciplines, including sociology, gender studies, psychology, cultural studies, and history, among others. This often leads to the absence of dedicated departments or research centres in academic institutions focusing exclusively on masculinity studies which, in turn, makes it challenging to enable productive dialogues among disciplinary boundaries.
