2023 Annual Conference

Race & Ethnicity Studies

Deadline: April 30, 2023

Event Dates: Friday-Sunday, 6-8, October 2023 

Location: DePaul University, Chicago, IL (in-person)

Literary theory has contributed towards the recovery of marginalised narratives and discourses in literature during the last three decades. The word, ‘minor’ has acquired a resonance of its own in the context of ‘national’ literature which tends to be part of a ‘great tradition’. Against such a background, the recovery of diverse indigenous traditions has become an important task of comparative studies of literature. Nations emerged as ‘imagined’ communities. However, nation-states were not ‘imagined’ in the crucible of prolonged struggles of anti-colonial resistance in Asia, Africa and Latin America, but were born of the political exigencies of imperial powers.

Online Conference Date: TBA

Registration is free to attend.

One of the first academic conferences devoted to videographic research was held at the Frankfurt Filmmuseum and Goethe University in Germany in 2013. Titled "The Audiovisual Essay: Practice and Theory," the conference emphasized practice in the presentation-based discussions. As the first speaker of the conference, Catherine Grant described the challenges of this then new scholarly format as "unknown, infinite, or variable" in terms of the experimentation of video production and the reception of this format in academia.

The conference will focus on how the American imagination has shaped—and, in turn, has been shaped by—its frontiers and borderlands, marked by an intrinsic peripheral quality, sociocultural porosity, and a diverse range of experiences and identities. As Lee Bebout (2016) has highlighted discussing the US–Mexico border, representations of frontiers, the “other side,” and the people inhabiting these regions have been historically deployed to construct a dominant national identity—often exploiting, invisiblizing, or neglecting local identities in the process.

In On Being Female, Black, and Free, Margaret Walker astutely acknowledges the impact of Black women writers and their unfortunate invisibility in the canon. Owing to an unwillingness to see their blackness and their womanness as anything other than a hindrance, the mainstream attempts to erase their contributions.
