XXVIII Generative Art Conference / ARGENIA
deadline for submissions: 
Wednesday, September 3, 2025

XXVIII Generative Art conference.
topics: Human Culture & AI in GA worthiness. The theme of this conference focuses on how to preserve human complexity, with Generative Art and AI.
Art, poetry, music, architecture, and historical cities need generative ideas to adapt to the deep new demands of our fast-changing times.
Our field of interest is to identify these possibilities and relate the most advanced creative approaches of Generative Art and AI.
We will be happy to present your generative approach. This can be done through generative ideas that could safeguard specific identities of Art, Nature, Environments, and History.

World LGBTQIA2S+ Memorialisation and Remembrance in the 21st Century: Call for Chapter Proposals

LGBTQIA2S+ public memorialisation and remembrance have become an increasingly visible and contested part of public debate throughout the 21st century. At the sharp end of the “new culture wars”, memorial and remembrance projects engaging with queer subjects or themes often find themselves at the forefront of the ongoing question of who or what should be commemorated in our public spaces, and how. As such, memorialisation across the world is witnessing a re-configuring of its frameworks, with nation-states and their opposing counter-narratives in a sometimes bitterly-contested dialogue.

Henry James Review
deadline for submissions: 
Sunday, March 1, 2026

In chapter 4 of The Ambassadors, following a scene that few who have read could ever forget,Strether’s dinner with Maria Gostrey, “whose dress was ‘cut down,’ . . . in respect to shoulders and bosom,” “face to face over a small table on which the lighted candles had rose-colored shades,” and after attending a play in London, Strether outlines the nature of his journey to Paris to Miss Gostrey, who asks whether Mamie Pocock is Chad Newsome’s “own niece.” Strether tries to clarify: 

“Oh, you must yourself find a name for the relation. His brother-in-law’s sister. Mrs. Jim’s sister-in-law.”

It seemed to have on Miss Gostrey a certain hardening effect. “And who in the world’s Mrs. Jim?”

Annual Conference 2025

“Backyard Texts and Junkyard Epistemes”

19-20 December 2025

Concept Note

The current conjuncture is marked by the clash of axioms, metaphorically represented by the

backyard/junkyard and the fore-yard. While the junkyard/ backyard relates to the obscure, the

unconscious, the leftover; the fore-yard, the screened and the hyper-projected or hyper-

narrativized stand for the accepted, the normative, the light and show, the conscious, the

progressed and the advanced. The dominant intellectual leitmotif of our time is a fore-yard

CFP Performing Wilderness Volume

 

The wilderness appears to be a place devoid of theatre. As perhaps the most social of artistic forms, theatre and performance seem to sit in opposition to the solitude of wilderness, natural areas supposedly untouched by human activity. That is, wilderness and the performing arts are often thought as part of separate spheres, opposites even, situated firmly on either side of the imaginary divides between “nature” and “culture.”

Fictions of Social Space in Late Capitalism / CFP for PAMLA Conference (20-23rd November, San Francisco)

Pascual Brodsky

This seminar uses fiction across media to host a dialogue between critical space theory and contemporary frameworks of political relationality. We look for the crossroads of intersectional politics, the empty lots where to construct "a people," the putrid, fertile soils of post-human entanglements. Demolishers against all future: you are also welcome.

We produce the space of sociality, and, in return, space shapes social reproduction (Henri Lefebvre). This dialectic is traversed by the blueprint of form as "the precondition of possible space" (Anna Kornbluh). Narrative fiction -literary, filmic, graphic- objectifies those forms and configures new ones, reworking the very entanglement of space and society.
