Discussions on urbanity tend to be focused primarily on the materiality of lived experience: conditions of housing, access to livelihood opportunities and basic services, concerns on ecological commons, and so on. Cities are often imagined in terms of their economic value to regions and societies, as growth engines, as sites of consumption and production, or as regenerative nodes in the wider relay of transnational capital. With humanity turning urban at an unprecedented scale, it is common now to frame conversations on urbanisation in terms of challenges and opportunities, problems and solutions, irredeemable and transformational amidst a widening matrix of actants and stakeholders.

Hannah Crafts Discovered! is an anthology following up on Henry Louis Gates, Jr.
We invite papers for "The Other(ed) Kings: A Roundtable on Arthurian Kings (not Arthur) & Otherness” focusing on lesser-known kings, such as Mark or Pellinore. This session aims to broaden our understanding of Arthurian literature by examining these overlooked figures and their relationship to otherness. We seek contributions that explore their narratives, political dynamics, and roles within the mythos and cycle of Arthuriana. This discussion addresses a scholarly gap and aligns with important questions of inclusivity. We are hoping for new perspectives that are intersectional and even interdisciplinary in nature.

The depiction of dancing has been a part of animated image’s history since the beginnings of cinema with e.g. Eadweard Muybridge’s zoopraxiscope glass disks from 1893 with one of them showing “a couple waltzing”. In 1929, Walt Disney created The Skeleton Dance as part of the company's Silly Symphonies series. More experimental approaches to dance and animation resulted in Norman McLaren and Grant Munro’s playful animated short Two Bagatelles (1952), as well as the expressive images of Denis Poulin and Martine Époque’s CODA (2014). Not to forget “The Dancing Baby” from the very early days of the internet in 1996 by Michael Girard, Robert Lurye and John Chadwick.

Continuing last year’s conversation, this panel proposes to focus on representations of food in Italian and Italian American Cinema, Literature and Media. Taking this year’s theme, (R)evolution, into consideration it seems only fitting to discuss food. The idea of food or food-ways as the subject of evolution or revolution leads us to consider the transformation of culinary history, identity, production, and consumption within or between the Italian and Italian-American (or Italo-Australian, Italo-Canadian, Italo-British, Italo-Hispanic) contexts.

In recent years, the landscape of Italian postcolonial literature has been profoundly shaped by prominent authors whose works illuminate a reality that diverges from traditional representations of Italian identity. These narratives offer a groundbreaking re-examination of Italy's colonial past from the perspective of the oppressed, highlighting the enduring socio-economic and cultural repercussions on former colonies and their inhabitants.
Food fests, feasts, and gatherings address the role of food in events, gatherings, celebrations, and ceremonies. Exploring how people incorporate ideas about food into festival culture, including history, heritage, tradition, creativity, and social and political factors.
In addition, it examines festivals in which food is not the main focus, yet contributes significantly to the atmosphere, memory, and tradition. It also looks at people's fascination with taste. In addition to examining these notions, we will also examine trends in the consumption and production of food.

In an age marked with conflict and strife, humanity is still searching for solutions to oppression and marginalization. In order to better understand the factors leading to these problems, Kimberlé Crenshaw first introduced the term “intersectionality” in 1989 to explain how a person’s intersecting identities such as gender, race, ethnicity, sexuality, age, ability, nationality and religion affect their access to opportunities and privileges. In literary and linguistic studies, intersectionality is used as a framework of analysis that helps scholars examine how these factors fuel various issues, ranging from health inequity to climate change and how they are expressed, negotiated and at times resolved through texts.
This panel seeks papers for the Association for the Study of the Worldwide African Diaspora’s (ASWAD) 12th Biennial and 25th Anniversary Conference that will be held in Saint Louis, Missouri at the Marriott St. Louis Grand Hotel from October 29th thru November 2, 2025. This year’s conference “I’ve known rivers”: The Ecologies of Black Life and Resistance” centers “the river, and waterways, as an analytical framework for Black lives past and present.” Water “serves as a prompt for urgent questions about landscapes and ecologies as well as diasporic ruptures, spiritual practices, labors of many kinds, fugitivity and resistance” (ASWAD CFP).

The Politics of Weird and the Weirdness of Politics
Online Conference
November 2, 2024
The vibe shift among the Democratic base since President Biden announced he would not seek reelection has been remarkable: apathy and anxiety have morphed into enthusiasm and a newfound pugnacious spirit. Stumping for Vice-President Kamala Harris, Minnesota governor Tim Walz, Harris’ vice-presidential pick, launched the verbal missile which has revitalized the campaign’s messaging and sought to define Republicans in succinct, yet devastating terms: they’re weird.
