Gothic writers embrace the genre for its inclusive and representational nature. The genre is, in effect, a palimpsest as it prominently features both the past and memory. The creators in the genre continue to create plots that center on women, queer, transgender, and racialized characters and create stories that address societal inequalities. The environment (the Ecogothic) also continues to be a prominent character in the genre.

All details: 7th "Memory, Affects and Emotions" Conference

CFP:​

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.

​

Seismic developments in technology, politics, and cognition are radically transforming the traditional writing classroom, which has been a site of contradiction (and at times controversy) since its formation after the GI Bill and the “democratization” of the university. Whether one starts with Raymond Williams or the New Critics through the Sputnik era, the cultural interventions of the late ’60s and the process movement, or the cultural turn of the ’80s, the “field” on which “the writing classroom” is founded has been a contested zone all along.

Life and art are entangled. […] Art makes life new. We become something different in an art world. And crucially, our world has always been an art world.  

(Alva Noë, The Entanglement, 2023)

This is an updated version of a previously submitted CfP for Planet Flanagan, a collection examining the Netflix series of Mike Flanagan. The call for chapters was very successful and we have some great work in progress, but we are still missing chapters covering two key content areas:

• Gender/Sexuality
• Space/Architecture

So, this is a specific call for submissions for chapters of about 10,000 words looking at these topic areas across all five of Mike Flanagan's Netflix series. The original call for chapters is replicated just below to give more detail.

Echoes of the Past in Written Memories: The Latinx Experience, is a creative session where participants will share a written piece that embodies a memory embracing oblivion, aligning with this year's conference theme. The session will be bilingual, and both English and/or Spanish texts are welcome. Submissions welcome include essays, poems and short stories.

The Antiracism Permanent Section of the Midwest Modern Language Association (MMLA) is requesting abstracts from prospective panelists for this year’s in-person conference in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. With this year’s conference theme— “The Humanities is Where Hope Lives”—as a foundation, this section calls for scholarly work that connects antiracism work with hope along with resilience. When researching or performing antiracist work, there is the risk of focusing on the despair brought on by racism without highlighting ways communities have and continue to build and foster resilience.
