"AI and Society: Ethics, Creativity and Power in the Digital Age"International Conference30-31 January 2027 – London / Online
organised by
London Centre for Interdisciplinary Research
Artificial Intelligence is no longer a speculative horizon — it is an active force reshaping how we work, create, govern, communicate and understand what it means to be human. From generative AI and automated decision-making to algorithmic governance and digital surveillance, AI technologies are transforming social structures, cultural production and everyday life at an unprecedented pace.
In our current postdigital condition, digital technology is so deeply embedded in everyday life that the distinction between technical and natural is becoming increasingly blurred and images have become mere byproducts of our embodied co-existence with digital media. At the same time, we see that visual forms are continuously rendered obsolete by the rapidly evolving algorithmic processes. In new media, we are no longer even looking at “the image” any more, but rather always only at a version of an image that can be infinitely modified. Cameras are regularly used to connect the eye and the machine in a way that serves no aesthetic goal, creating purely “operational images” (Harun Farocki).

It is widely known that ideologies of racism, nationalism, and xenophobia are dangerous and spread all over the world. We want to examine these terms as much as possible, from many perspectives and variable aspects: in politics, society, psychology, culture, and many more. We also want to devote considerable attention to how the phenomena of racism, nationalism and xenophobia are represented in artistic practices: in literature, film, theatre or visual arts.
Conference: 18-19 June 2026
in person (Gdańsk, Poland) and online
CFP:
How do we remember and represent our migration experiences? Who is involved in these processes? How does history remember these events? What helps migrants and societies to adapt? The significance of these and related questions have made their way into our daily lives, from the refugee crisis to policy decisions, individual psychotherapy to (re)building identities, communities, and memories.

Since 2014, the eTEXTS: Literary and Cultural Studies Conference has served as a platform for the examination and exploration of diverse "texts" from English-speaking countries of Ango-Saxon heritage. By bringing together scholars, doctoral students, and early-career professionals, the conference fosters scientific debates and critical discussions that drive forward our understanding of literature and culture.
The East Asian Translation Studies conference aims to provide a platform for translators and researchers working in the East Asian context to exchange ideas on issues related to translation.
Previous EATS conferences have been held at the University of East Anglia, UK (2014); Meiji University, Japan (2016); Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, Italy (2019); Université Paris Cité, France (2022); and the University of Queensland, Australia (2024). They have centered on questions of the circulation of translation within East Asia, constructing/deconstructing East Asia, changing identities of East Asia observed in translation, universals in East Asian translation, and negotiating the borders of translation and East Asia.
Session Abstract: The genre of African American poetry has a long legacy of both preserving tradition and evolving to suit current times and places. This session invites discussion of the defining features that have been maintained over time as well as patterns of bold experimentation. Rather than seeing tradition and innovation as opposing aesthetic directions, this session hopes to examine ways they have co-existed in this genre and been mutually fruitful.

Twenty-Fifth International Conference on New Directions in the Humanities, University of Split, Croatia, 30 June - 2 July 2027
Founded in 2003, the New Directions in the Humanities Research Network is brought together by a common interest in established traditions in the humanities while at the same time developing innovative practices and setting a renewed agenda for their future. We seek to build an epistemic community where we can make linkages across disciplinary, geographic, and cultural boundaries. As a Research Network, we are defined by our scope and concerns and motivated to build strategies for action framed by our shared themes and tensions.
Information, Medium & Society: Twenty-Fifth International Conference on Publishing Studies, University of Split, Croatia, 30 June - 2 July 2027
Information, Medium & Society: The Publishing Studies Research Network was founded in 2003 with the inaugural International Conference on the Future of the Book. Since then, the Research Network has expanded its scope in two phases. The first was in 2009 when it became the Books, Publishing, and Libraries Research. In this iteration, the Research Network began to look beyond the book as the primary site of investigation. In 2019 the network underwent another change, to become Information, Medium & Society - The Publishing Studies Research Network.
