Hotels, Motels and Inns : Transient Spaces of Hospitality in English-Speaking Cultures

updated: 
Thursday, January 2, 2025 - 8:51pm
University of Toulouse, France
deadline for submissions: 
Monday, January 20, 2025

The “Hotels, Inns and Motels” International Conference in Toulouse invites scholars to reflect upon the way places of temporary hospitality have structured space and displacements in English-speaking countries and therefore reveal the stakes and forms of hospitality. From medieval inns to the motel chains dotting the endless US interstate landscapes, these spaces offer a temporary home to their dwellers, and perform commercial, social, political and symbolic functions that so far have not been studied thoroughly.

The aim of the conference is to explore how these places, and the people who designed them, work or live there, can reflect or create conceptions of hospitality that provide insight into a given society or a period.

Latinx Fandoms

Editor: Frederick Luis Aldama

Despite the recent boom in fan studies scholarship—a field that has traditionally provided space for those deemed academically undisciplined—significant gaps remain in our understanding of the cultural impact of Latinx fan communities and scenes. With Latinx Fandoms I hope to address this by bringing together the work of extraordinary scholars to highlight Latinx practices, knowledges, and cultural innovations as fans, fandoms, and collective shapers of scenes.

Rhizomes, Homes, and the Black Atlantic: African Spirituality and Black Literature of the West

updated: 
Thursday, January 2, 2025 - 8:36pm
Camille Alexander/Tuskegee University
deadline for submissions: 
Tuesday, December 31, 2024

The history of the Black Atlantic is rife with narratives of leaving and returns that can prove destabilizing factors, regarding identity and culture. Yet, it is in these stories, that a more complete image of the complexities of the lives of the people who traverse(d) the Black Atlantic becomes clearer. The literature of the men and women whose texts engage the 500-year history of the Black Atlantic narrative work to form a more nuanced image of Black life in the US, Caribbean, and Europe. In doing so, many of these works demonstrate the influence of African culture on members of the Diaspora through the inclusion of African spirituality in the texts.

Coined by Marianne Hirsch in the 1990s, the term postmemory by now entered various disciplines who search to understand how memory form our identity and how we position, articulate or just make sense of our place in the society and our relations with it. The term postmemory problematizes the concept of memory by bringing attention to the memories that are not exactly personal but that keep on shaping one’s life and one’s  way of seeing the world.

Concept Note

 

In recent decades, the term Global South has come to signify the distinctions between the industrialised nations of the “North” and the comparatively less developed nations of the “South.” The Global North-South designation, however, is not strictly geographical but instead reflects various geopolitical, economic, and ecological commonalities between countries.
