Affects, emotions and perceptions have always been at the center of philosophical discussion. Yet the so-called “Affective turn” in social studies and humanities is a relatively new phenomenon inspired by Deleuze and Guattari´s influential works among others. Affective turn challenges the still dominant representational approach in semiotics, discourse analysis and text analyses of all kinds.
Spanning distances between bequeathed social identities and quests towards becoming, Indian women have documented the many shapes that such striving takes. They have traversed distances between equality and freedom; sifted nostalgia and futuristic imaginations; and mediated ideas of collectivization and autonomy. The upcoming issue of Indraprasth – A Journal of Culture and Communication Studies, investigates the ways in which Indian women writers and artists have perceived and shaped the world in literature and art.

The interest in Slavic fairy tales and fables remains relatively marginal in international Fairy Tale Studies. Influential essays by Vladimir Propp on the Morphology of the Folktale (1928, English translation 1958, Italian translation 1966) and the Historical Roots of the Wondertale (1946, Italian translation 1949) encouraged international interest in Russian folk tales. However, they also contributed to the tendency to perceive these tales primarily as a manifestation of the oral or folkloric tradition—a perspective that prevails up to this day.
Keywords: Colonialism, Hauntings, Postcolonial, Memory, Imperial, Afterlives, Bodies, Narratives
Empire's ghosts persist beyond colonial rule, manifesting as hauntings that collapse the distance between past and present. These specters transform the immaterial into tangible forces that infiltrate daily life. The colonial past is never truly gone; it lingers, erupting through material and psychic traces.
This panel calls for papers that examine theories and histories of the body alongside histories of fashion and modeling. In what ways do contemporary fashion studies or modeling studies build on or depart from foundational texts that interrogate the body? How do fashion and modeling embody or resist ableism, ageism, transphobia, fatphobia, and other forms of oppression that are mediated through the body? This panel is particularly interested in the role of the model, expansively defined as fashion modeling, artist's modeling, instagram modeling or other forms of model-like roles and embodied performances.
