Panel on Affective Tonalities and Aesthetic Moods

In academia, what has come to be called “the affective turn” of the 1990s—surfacing in the wake of a “performative turn” that arguably originated in the 1940s and 1950s— was first used in the works of feminist scholars such as Patricia Clough and Lauren Berlant. Indeed, the affective turn has sparked generative debates, consonances, dissonances, and intense exchanges of views on a broad range of issues such as (post)critique, (non)intentionality, rational actor theory, and agency across disciplines in the humanities and social sciences.

ACLA Virtual Conference 2025 CFP - "Between Deleuze and Literature: Imagining Literature’s Images of Thought"

updated: 
Friday, August 30, 2024 - 11:17pm
Adam Mohamed / Western University
deadline for submissions: 
Monday, October 14, 2024

Deleuze notes in Negotiations that he did not have the chance to write “the book [he’d] like to have done about literature” as he had done for other artforms like cinema and painting. Following Deleuze and Guattari’s definition of great thinkers who “lay out a new plane of immanence” and “draw up a new image of thought” to “change how we think” (What Is Philosophy), this seminar takes up Deleuze’s desire for new images of thought focused explicitly on literature. This seminar invites participants to consider the relation between Deleuze and Guattari’s philosophy and commentary on art (e.g., painting, cinema, and literature) and a variety of literary writers to establish new ways of thinking and navigating the margins of literature.

Our proposed collection, Unsettling the Lyric, invites interdisciplinary perspectives on the possibilities, as well as the problems, of the lyric as an essential site for reexamining the histories of Indigenous-settler relations and how we express them in the present. As Daniel Heath Justice (Cherokee) argues, “poetry is a particularly compelling literary form for confronting the ruptures of history and the fragmenting effects of settler colonialism.” And the lyric especially  remains as ubiquitous as it is contested.

In Memory of David Golumbia: Critique as Care: Simultaneity, Contradiction and Praxis in Digital Culture

Monday, September 30, 2024

From Golumbia’s The Cultural Logic of Computation (2009): 

I argue that we must also keep in mind the possibility of de-emphasizing computerization, resisting the intrusion of computational paradigms into every part of the social structure, and resisting too strong a focus on computationalism as the solution to our social problems. This study is written in the belief that computationalism aids some of the pernicious effects of institutional power; and that the best solutions to our pressing social problems lie in the social fabric itself and in social action, and less than we may imagine via computational transformation.

Sex,Lies & Embodiment

'Phrases I would like to strike from the English language: “speaking my truth” and “my journey.”'

—Katya Zamolodchikova, in conversation with Trixie Mattel, I Like to Watch (2019)

'If gender attributes and acts, the various ways in which a body shows or produces its cultural signification, are performative, then there is no preexisting identity by which an act or attribute might be measured; there would be no true or false, real or distorted acts of gender, and the postulation of a true gender identity would be revealed as a regulatory fiction.'

—Judith Butler, Gender Trouble (London: Routledge, 1999 [1990]), p. 180.
