Call for Papers

Conversations about artificial intelligence and writing—largely involving ChatGPT—range from excitement to existential dread. Writing about AI has been eclipsed by worrying about writing with AI. Is AI a tool or a threat? A friend or foe? Can AI transcend either/or? What should universities do now that AI has arrived? What about instructors and students? How will AI change classrooms? What policies must be created? What changes will be arriving in education, news, politics, or industry? What will we find at the intersection of AI and writing?

Contemporary Global Feminisms – Solidarity Across Differences

Taking place 13 June 2023, Birkbeck University and online

Deadline for CfP: 24th April 2023, 9:00 AM

Since its initiation in 2016, the CHASE Feminist Network has been in conversation with many of the transitions that took place within academia and the world at large. During this period, the attitudes towards and within feminism have also experienced vast shifts, where intersectionality has permeated the mainstream just as dividing lines have been erected between the feminisms of varying kinds. Yet at its core, there remains the reverberation of solidarity against patriarchal oppression, which is ever-present in our contemporary moment.

Rereading Elden Ring

updated: 
Tuesday, March 21, 2023 - 7:31pm
The University of Virginia Department of English Speakers’ Committee
deadline for submissions: 
Friday, April 7, 2023

With its massive world, open-ended quests, and near-limitless options for customization, Elden Ring––the most critically acclaimed video game of 2022––is designed to be replayed. But it is also a text that demands to be reread. Whether we study its environmental storytelling or the lore in item descriptions, the game’s fragmented narrative fuels exegeses that resemble the long history of Biblical interpretation, midcentury criticism of modernist enigmas like Ulysses, and hermeneutic fandoms surrounding popular culture like Twin Peaks. Its spatiotemporally disjunctive universe frustrates efforts to interpret its world “realistically” and prompts one to place it in dialogue with theories of unconventional space and time.

Mechanization and the Child

updated:

deadline for submissions: 
Thursday, August 31, 2023

JOCPC is now accepting article submissions for the Fall 2023 issue focusing on the broad theme of the mechanized child. We have kept the theme open-ended and invite works across a wide range of disciplines where researchers are exploring representations of the intersection between the child figure, childhood and mechanization. This may include robotics, automatons, cyborgs, AI, VR, and other emerging technologies, both historical and future forward, real and fictional, and how these are used by, to, on and for children. Born alongside new and emerging technologies, children have an innate fluency with new technologies that often leave their adult counterparts behind, reinforcing the notion of children as symbols of futurity.

MLA 2024: Large Language Models and the Writer

Wednesday, February 22, 2023 - 11:21am
MLA TC Digital Humanities Executive Forum
deadline for submissions: 
Tuesday, March 21, 2023

Publicly available text-generating engines like ChatGPT make large language models (LLMs) “writers” in their own right. How can we interpret the changing status of the writer in the age of machine learning? What does the success of AI-generated textuality ask us to reconsider, revisit, or reinvent in the context of literary theory and the digital humanities more generally?

 

This panel is a guaranteed panel, sponsored by the TC Digital Humanities executive forum for the 2024 MLA conference in Philadelphia (January 4-7).

Amazigh Orality in Contemporary Production

 

Orality, that is, the culture of the spoken word, is a central feature of Amazigh everyday life, history, and linguistics, and communal knowledge. Indeed, although Imazighen have one of the oldest writing systems in North Africa, known as Tifinagh, the latter is not associated with a body of written literature, an Amazigh literary canon. On the other hand, the Amazigh peoples have an extensive and rich oral literature that includes poetry, myths, fables, songs, proverbs, sacred rituals, and tales, which are excluded from a simple textualist notion of culture and communal identity.

Digital technology and internet access have expanded the ways of making meaning and of building and accessing audiences across the globe. Though unevenly available to refugees (UNHCR, Space and imagination: rethinking refugees’ digital access, 2020), digital technology has nonetheless offered previously unknown platforms for refugees to speak directly to global audiences.
