This panel explores the movement and circulation of texts within multilingual contact zones, spaces that, through cultural exchange, commerce, and conflict, are defined by the presence of multiple languages. Multilingualism is often heralded as a feature of cosmopolitanism, defined against nationalist monolingualism, yet it can also be the product of forces including incipient capitalist mercantilism, imperialist conquest and colonization, and exile.

Tentative title of the book-
“Critical Pedagogy in ELT: Empowering Learners”
Editors- Dr. Asim Kumar Betal
Dr. Kishwar Badakhshan
It is a great pleasure to announce that an edited volume tentatively titled “Critical Pedagogy in ELT: Empowering Learners” by a national publisher of repute is going to be published soon. Critical Pedagogy in ELT has gained significant attention in recent years, emphasizing the need to challenge dominant power structures, promote social justice, and empower learners.

In all medical practices, two goals stand out: to cure and to care. In a vernacular context, care is discursive, relational, and mutual, while cure is linear, utilitarian, and quantifiable. In his book Care and Cure: An Introduction to the Philosophy of Medicine, Jacob Stegenga iterates on two sides of the care-cure conundrum: “[...] when an intervention mitigates harm then it provides some care, and when an intervention mitigates abnormal biological functioning
then it goes some way toward cure.”

“Dissent Nearby: Diasporic & LGBTQ+ Resistance”
Cinema and Posthuman Bodies
Edited by Asijit Datta
Session Format: Seminar
This session invites scholars to bring Chaucer and the Lancastrian poets in
conversation with the latest criticism and theoretical underpinnings in
relation to queer and trans studies of the last few years. Particularly, using
time as a teleological field to measure queer and trans experience,
embodiment, and memoir. Chaucerian and medieval studies have been33
responsible for groundbreaking work over the years on pre-modern
conceptions of gender and sexuality. However, those fields are also
responsible for the perpetuation of cisgender/cissexual centred optics that
have continued to influence the reception of texts like The Canterbury
Conference online (via Zoom): 24-25 April 2025
All details: 7th "Memory, Affects and Emotions" Conference
CFP:
Affects, emotions and perceptions have always been at the center of philosophical discussion. Yet the so-called “Affective turn” in social studies and humanities is a relatively new phenomenon inspired by Deleuze and Guattari´s influential works among others. Affective turn challenges the still dominant representational approach in semiotics, discourse analysis and text analyses of all kinds.
