“Many have said of Alchemy, that it is for the making of gold and silver. For me such is not the aim, but to consider only what virtue and power may lie in medicines.” – Paracelsus

CFP Tiphys #1, Dopo il palazzo: la nascita della polis

Editor: Massimo Cultraro (CNR-ISPC), Giancarlo Germanà Bozza (Accademia di Belle Arti di Palermo)

Deadline per l’invio dei contributi: 30 giugno 2025

La complessa storia dell’Egeo tra la fine del II e gli inizi del I millennio a.C. è segnata dal passaggio da strutture socio-politiche centralizzate e gerarchiche, identificate nel modello del palazzo miceneo, a comunità sul territorio che si riorganizzano in centri abitati di nuova formazione.

Call For Proposals

The CreArte hybrid conference seeks submission of proposals for papers, panels (3-4 papers), roundtables, workshops, and performances. We invite proposals from artists, educators, academics, and public scholars who examine various forms of Latino/a/e/x artistic expression, including but not limited to film, literature, music, visual arts, and dance, and how these artistic expressions have impacted the direction of society, broadly. Our hybrid conference is held in association with the CreArte Expo Latino Cultural Festival, a weekend-long celebration where attendees immerse themselves in Latino/a/e/x culture through literature, film, music, dance, cosplay, dance, comics and much more.

This session explores how postcolonial and diasporic literatures grapple with memory, trauma, and cultural haunting. Rather than thinking of identity as fixed or linear, selfhood is complex and palimpsestic due to colonial violence, migration, and historical erasure. This session invites papers that analyze how characters or narratives navigate misremembering, inherited trauma, or overwritten histories to reclaim belonging and agency. Topics may include narrative voice, transgenerational memory, silence, storytelling, and archival gaps in multiethnic and immigrant literatures. This session welcomes interdisciplinary approaches and encourages work on Asian American, Black, Indigenous, and other diasporic communities.

This panel session for RSA 2026 in San Francisco invites proposals for papers on early modern literature and narrative theory, broadly conceived. Papers might consider narrative perspective, focalization, and free indirect discourse; formalist, structuralist and poststructuralist approaches to early modern narrative; and genre theory. How might early modern narrative invite us to question some of the assumptions of narrative theory, with its traditional emphasis on the novel? What kind of narrative theory (or theories) does early modern literature offer us?
