The Collecting and Collectibles Area invites proposals exploring how “collecting” has become an embodiment of the economic, political, environmental, and digital precarities that shape contemporary popular culture. Collecting now operates as a dynamic source for epistemic production, constantly redefining how popular culture is constructed, construed, mediated, valorized, historicized, and even contested.
Journal “Temas de Integração”
2026 – n.º 47
Launched in 1996, Revista Temas de Integração (RTI) was conceived as a forum for reflection on the newly established European Union and other regional integration movements that were then shaping a world marked by accelerated post–Cold War globalisation, in which citizenship and democracy assumed a central role. Now published digitally and in open access, RTI welcomes articles in English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese on the emergence, development, consolidation, and even contestation of regional integration spaces, approached from a range of disciplinary perspectives beyond law.

The Department of English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University is thrilled to host the 12th annual Post45 Graduate Symposium on March 4-6, 2027.
The Post45 Graduate Symposium seeks graduate-level works-in-progress related to post-1945 media, arts, literature, textual or visual objects, digital platforms, politics, and culture. We welcome submissions that expand our conception of objects and meaning-making post-1945 or place them in comparative, transnational, or hemispheric frames. We especially welcome contributions that foreground the importance of race, gender, class, and sexuality to post-45 studies.
Historically, disabled people have relied on community care for kinship and survival in an unaccommodating, if not hostile, world. These communities of care allowed disabled individuals and their allies to scaffold support structures outside of social services that demanded compliance and relied on charity. Disabled communities have often coalesced at the fringes of society in asylums, freak shows, and other institutions. Even so, the stereotypical understanding of disability is that of passivity, isolation, and dependence rather than action, community, and interdependence.

Marking thirty years since the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis, often remembered in South Korea as the “IMF crisis,” this panel reflects on contested forms of Korean and Korean/American belonging in its aftermath. The IMF crisis was not only a national economic crisis that profoundly reshaped South Korea’s economy and social formations; it also precipitated movements of Korean people beyond their homes, producing family separation and forced movement. Nearly thirty years later, Korean diasporic cultural forms increasingly reckon with the crisis and its repercussions, with Min Jin Lee’s forthcoming novel American Hagwon (2026) also taking up this historical context.

KIIT Deemed to be University, Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India
In Asian context, the Cold War has not ended but became an ongoing structural condition that determines the social, political, and economic dimensions of everyday lives. The unresolved nature of the war has also left traces on a personal level, expressing through one's body, psyche, and their intimate relations. The Korean War (1950-present) as a proxy war between the two global superpowers, for example, has been continuing as manifested on multiple levels, and it keeps bringing back the traumatic past into the present while challenging the authoritarian interpretation of the war as "The Forgotten War". This session will discuss Cold War narratives that are written from the vantage point of those who have been living through the imperialist war violence.
The Société Rencesvals, Pan-American Branch, wishes to honor Lynn T. Ramey in celebration of 25 years since the publication of her first monograph, Christian, Saracen, and Genre in Medieval French Literature. We invite proposals that engage directly with the central ideas, arguments, and/or methodologies explored by Ramey in her work, and which discuss the representation of Muslims by Romance language authors c. 1100-1500 (Italian, Old Occitan, Old French, Medieval Castilian, for instance). We are especially interested in papers that give particular attention to themes of gender and race as they relate to epic depictions of Muslim-Christian relations in chansons de geste, chivalric romances, and lyric poetry.
