'[...] the seas of literature are distraught with storms and currents, and full of the wrecks of Irish anthologies’. W. B. Yeats A Book of Irish Verse (1895)
The most common activity pertaining to literature—being read by real people in everyday settings—has been the least researched when considering its sheer volume, spread and diversity of practices. As an opportunity to make up for that lack of academic research, our symposium is inviting submissions for presentations dealing with any aspect of reading literature performed by or involving specific readers in their everyday environments.

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.

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.
Women’s Link is a bi-annual peer reviewed journal that focuses on gender issues from a broad spectrum. Its basic intention is to create awareness and disseminate information about the present situation of women. Women’s Link carries articles on women’s lives from all dimensions i.e.

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.

'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.'

Hello! This is a CFP for the ASLE 2025 Biennial Conference, which will take place July 8-11 in College Park, MD. In accordance with the ASLE 2025 theme (“Collective Atmospheres: Air, Intimacy, and Inequality”), I am soliciting proposals for scholarly presentations that consider the ways in which climate engineering, geoengineering, terraforming (and other related processes) disturb the atmosphere. The panel’s overall purpose is to explore how different representations of and engagements with atmospheric disturbances present opportunities for environmental and climate justice while serving as solutions to potential social and ecological issues like climate change.
Edited Collection: Neoliberal Entanglements in The White Lotus
Overview:
Fraught with moral, religious, racial, sexual, and transgressive configurations, the body is a potent site for reflective practices within popular culture. The self-reflexive matrix of popular culture’s representations of human body functions as a site for materializing possibilities of varying forms of living. As a cultural sign, body features in both normative and non-normative debates on identity, selfhood, social relations, power, institutional surveillance and regulation. The practice of its representations, on the other hand, traditionally enables a culture of shared meaning-making which shapes how an individual perceives, thinks, feels, and acts amidst the production and circulation of discourses.
