The Beyond Trauma Conference   

For sign-up forms, consult: https://beyondtrauma.yolasite.com/ 

 

The Beyond Trauma Conference (June 9, 10, & 11, 2025; Nice, France) aims to gather an international and interdisciplinary group of scholars to share their research (ethnographies, theories, and clinical practice) on post-traumatic states from resistance and resilience to retribution and growth. More specifically, we propose to focus less on trauma and PTSD and more on modes of healing that so often involve the arts for trauma survivors.

Teaching Poe's Humor - ALA 2025 Poe Studies Association Teaching Panel

updated: 
Thursday, December 5, 2024 - 12:18pm
Poe Studies Association
deadline for submissions: 
Friday, January 10, 2025

Edgar Allan Poe worked for a double audience (the popular and the critical), in double tones and manners (grim and mocking, metaphysical and pseudo-scientific). Whether he strove for alternance or interdependence between the terms “grotesque” and “arabesque” which he used to categorize his own narratives, critics such as G. R. Thompson and Dennis Eddings have argued that the former – more visible in tales such as “King Pest,” “Some Words with a Mummy,” “Lionizing,” and “Loss of Breath” -  underscored the carnivalesque, the satirical, and the hoaxical.

After years of financial crisis and politics of austerity, as well as a pandemic that brought ordinary life to a halt, culture today is laden with excess.

Food transcends its role as sustenance, serving as a powerful lens through which to examine identity, memory, and power dynamics. From hunger-driven narratives to the celebratory and symbolic depictions of meals in contemporary cinema and television, food occupies a central place in Hispanic cultural productions. It can represent tradition and identity, critique societal norms, or even subvert power structures.

The Mechademia conference began in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 2001, as a new forum for people hoping to establish the English-language academic study of anime and manga while still keeping ties with the creative energy of the fan cultures that these vibrant media were creating. Since then, Mechademia has taken on many forms, including two academic journal series, conferences in various locales and venues around the world, and a widening network of collaboration between academics, fans, and creators, while pursuing the study of anime, manga, and related media as an interconnected trans-local nexus of cultural practice.
