Petrocultures is a fast growing sub-discipline in the humanities which contends with the ways fossil fuels shapes our interpersonal, social and cultural lives. There has been little attention yet paid, however, to the relationship between energy culture and music. What Stephanie LeMenager calls the ‘aesthetics of petroleum’ holds a particularly strong resonance with 20th and 21st century music culture.

ACLA: Present When I'm Absent, Speaking When I'm Not There (Uh): The Surd and Immanent Expression in the Radical Black Aesthetic

The Latin word, ‘Surdus’–used to translate the Arabic mathematical term, ‘asamm’–had referred to irrational numbers, those resisting, or willfully remaining deaf to, ratiocination and thus calculability. Its contemporary counterparts, the mathematical 'surd;' and the linguistic use of ‘surd’ for unvoiced consonants find a link in the Proto-Indo-European ‘*swer-’ which meant to buzz, whisper, or whistle. With the rise of contemporary calculation and the computational society of control which derives its power from bayesian modeling, the mathematical theory of communication, and algorithmic machine learning, the ability to remain inscrutible and deafening to such Capitalist ratiocination continues to be, and is an evermore, important aspect of resistance.

ACLA Virtual Conference 2025: Ghost Figures in World Literature

updated: 
Wednesday, October 9, 2024 - 8:23am
American Comparative Literature Association (ACLA)
deadline for submissions: 
Monday, October 14, 2024

A ghost, Avery Gordon writes, “has a real presence and demands its due, your attention” (2008, Ghostly Matters). To answer this demand, our seminar invites submissions that turn their attention to literary and artistic ghosts. After all, ghosts are profoundly literary figures; like poetics, they are defined by their repetitions and returns, and constantly referring to something else, though failing to fully represent it. However, ghosts are not any literary figures. They are haunting, and although they have a strong presence they come into life in place of something absent. Moreover, in their haunting presence, they are signalling “repressed or unresolved social violence” (Gordon, 2008).

Transfers: Interdisciplinary Journal of Mobility Studies
deadline for submissions: 
Thursday, October 31, 2024

Our Special Section for Transfers: Interdisciplinary Journal of Mobility Studies seeks articles that are situated at the intersection of Black/ African/ Afrodiasporic aeromobilities and studies in literature and culture. Concentrating on “the study of various complex systems, assemblages and practices of mobility” (Sheller 2014, 45), mobilities research is often associated with the social sciences. Yet the field is also firmly rooted in the humanities (Aguiar et al. 2019, 4–5; Merriman and Pearce 2017, 493–494), and representations of mobilities are increasingly being studied in diverse cultural products.

Located at the juncture of philosophy and the arts, mimesis is one of the most ancient concepts of literary theory and may not initially appear new, let alone original. It was indeed marginalized and forgotten in the Romantic and modernist periods, haunted by the myth of originality. Yet, in recent years, scholars across the humanities, social sciences, and even the neurosciences, have returned to the ancient, yet strikingly contemporary, realization that humans are an imitative species, or homo mimeticus (www.homomimeticus.eu).

Infrastructures, both visible and invisible, are all around us and they permeate our lives in various ways. Larkin defines infrastructures as “built networks that facilitate the flow of goods, people, or ideas and allow for their exchange over space” (327). Though most commonly associated with its physical manifestations, the term infrastructurealso encompasses intangible elements that play a crucial role in society. Thus, infrastructures are not merely "limited to pipes, roads, and wires" but should, instead, be understood as “interdependent networks of materials, people, and nature that enable the functioning of modern life” (Lockrem 529).

The family can be a place of hidden and haunted spaces, and in these spaces they bring to mind the uncanny, often moving deftly from the ordinary to the extraordinary or supernatural. Families are also notorious receptacles for trauma and are frequently explored in writing from Isabel Allende’s La casa de los espíritus/House of the Spirits to Tara Westover’s Educated.

After working in alternative or hybrid spaces throughout the pandemic, the return of educators and students to the “traditional” classroom has brought its own unique challenges and frustrations both for students and instructors. Learners who previously participated in fully remote classes are expected to integrate smoothly into synchronous in-person courses with little guidance or preparation. Instructors are offered little guidance in easing the transition for students and are often already stretched thin themselves. In light of these circumstances, educators must reevaluate what teaching methods and structures might best serve students and instructors in a technological and AI-driven era.
