How do 18th and 19th century Black writers reconceptualize religion beyond the nation-state? How do they utilize religious concepts such as celebration, prophecy, apocalpyse, etc. to critique and think outside the boundaries of the nation-state?

Designing Urban Universities

Trinity College Dublin, the University of Dublin

Thursday 22 to Saturday 24 June 2023

There is a growing dissonance between the urban university as often perceived—its physical, architectural, and emblematic form, its legacy structures and spaces, its time-honoured functions and traditions—and the university as a knowledge factory within the city, subject to political, commercial, and environmental pressures. But this is not a new dissonance. Architectural and design histories can uncover how, across diverse cases, it has often shaped the urban university internally and in its relationship with the city.

Dear Colleagues,

Please see the CFP below for an international conference on “Logic and Modern Literature” we are organising at the University of Lausanne, September 14-15, 2023. 

The conference will address a range of historical, epistemological and interdisciplinary questions about literature and logic from c.1800 to the present (see CFP below).

Keynote speakers include: 

Professor N. Katherine Hayles (Distinguished Research Professor, UCLA), whose many award-winning books include How We Became Posthuman: Virtual Bodies in Literature, Cybernetics and Informatics and Writing Machines.

“With a Pen in Her Hand”: Communities in Gloria Naylor’s Fiction and her Archives.

Conference dates: Thursday, October 19- Friday, October 20, 2023, held in-person at Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, CT, 06825

Gloria Naylor is one of the most important writers of 20th century American literature. Her literary works, from The Women of Brewster Place (1982), a NationalBook Award winning novel, to her fictional memoir, 1996, portray the communities that Black women build to resist, survive, and even thrive against the racism, sexism, classism, and homophobia that confines and violates them.

• 10th International Conference on Language, Literature & Culture 
• The topical theme of the conference is "Fashion as Material Culture"
• Keynote speakers: Prof. Dr. Stephen Bending, University of Southampton and Prof. Dr. Abby Lillethun, Montclair State University

IL PARLAGGIO

ISSN 2280-6849

This section of the academic journal “Sinestesieonline” is open to contributions about theatre and performing arts in all historical ages, forms and variations, in English, Italian and foreign languages. We use double blind peer review.

“Il Parlaggio” is the name created by Gabriele d’Annunzio for the amphitheatre in Vittoriale – a place of empathy, a cradle of emotions, a crossroads of cultures, a connection between antiquity and contemporaneity, an emblem of the “neverending show”.

****NB. SLIGHT CFP ALTERATION/DEADLINE EXTENSION - Please note, due to having received an overwhelming majority of abstracts for chapters dedicated purely to literature and the arts, we have decided to tweak the CFP and title of the collection to reflect this focus. We have also extended the deadline by a number of weeks due to this change*** 

We are currently seeking chapter abstracts for an upcoming edited collection entitled Digressions in Deep Time: Ecocritical Approaches to Literature and the Arts which is to be published by Lexington (a division of Rowman & Littlefield Publishers). The deadline for abstracts is Friday 24th February 2023.

Conference: 16-17 March 2023 (online- via Zoom platform)

Scientific Committee:

Professor Wojciech Owczarski – University of Gdańsk, Poland

Professor Polina Golovátina-Mora – NTNU, Norwegian University of Science and Technology
