Feminism, Antifeminism, and the Mobilization of Regret

Millions experienced physical and mental trauma as a result of the First World War. Government and private organizations attempted to mitigate the war’s impact in multiple ways – whether through direct medical care, through social support, or through rehabilitative assistance.  This panel seeks to explore official and unofficial infrastructures of caregiving that surfaced during the war and postwar periods, with particular interest in the way that these systems are examined and evaluated in writing and the visual arts.  Papers on all aspects of the war’s caregiving infrastructure are welcome.

Call for Papers - We are pleased to announce a call for papers for the 'Languages of the Future' Conference (5-6 June 2025), Institute of Advanced Studies (IAS), University College London, London.

First day in-person (5th June 2025), second day online (6th June 2025).

We invite submission related but not limited to the following topics:

This accepted PAMLA special session panel explores memory and oblivion as they relate to queer culture and literature of the modern Hispanic world. Focusing on Latin America, Spain, and the global Hispanophone in the eighteenth through twentieth centuries, the panel explores practices of remembrance, commemoration, censorship, and forgetting both in queer culture (i.e., as practiced by queer individuals and groups) and of queer culture (in a broader cultural ecosystem). How have queer people sought to memorialize their predecessors and bequeath their legacy to future generations? How have these practices interacted with more expansive societal forces that alternately commemorate, silence or marginalize queer culture?

Eighteenth-century global history is a history of seas and oceans. International trade and migration stretched across all continents. Britain’s colonial empire, and the trades on which it thrived – not least the Slave Trade – was driven by its domination of the world’s waterways. The port city of Liverpool was a major gateway for Britain’s contact with the wider world through maritime routes. This complemented the complex network of domestic waterways – rivers, canals – which played a significant part in Britain’s industrial revolution.

Held previously in renowned locations like Beirut, Almeria, Barcelona, and Tenerife, MIFS is now set to take place at the University of Catania, Italy. The conference fosters academic networking and critical thinking through the presentation of research articles across various social sciences and humanities disciplines. Over the years, hundreds of papers have been presented and published in open-access format after undergoing a rigorous peer-review process.

MIFS welcomes scholars from a wide range of fields to participate in this vibrant intellectual exchange. Join us at the upcoming conference and contribute to the ongoing discourse in the social sciences and humanities!
