In 1931, Antonin Artaud envisioned a radically innovative form of theatre after witnessing a performance by a Balinese troupe at the Colonial Exposition in Paris. While this event is widely acknowledged among arts and humanities scholars, its specific details – such as the precise content of the performance and the identities of the performers – are overlooked, thus exemplifying the ambivalent nature of the circulation of performing arts from colonized and/ or marginalized regions. Throughout history, how have conflicting global power structures and unequal socio-political conditions shaped the flow, interpretation, and reception of works, artists, aesthetics and practices from the so-called peripheries in Europe and the United States?

2025 ACLA_virtual meeting_CFP: World literature as a mode of doing and experiencing

David Damrosch (2003) describes world literature as “a mode of circulation and of reading” (5) and “writing that gains in translation” (281). This perspective has long dominated the discourse on world literature and has been widely expanded upon by scholars. Building on this foundation, Tong King Lee (2024) proposes that in today’s globalized context, circulating literature necessitates not only a mode of reading but also a mode of doing. In this view, a literary work becomes a Barthian Text—an interconnected network of “texts” that manifest in various forms (multilingual, multimodal, or multimedial), shaped by users rather than just readers.

Writing has always been one step in the future. From emojis to slang to song, writing has momentum, and it is up to us - as artists, researchers and educators - to find ways of moving with it. In the light of emerging concerns about technology’s cultural impact, and the changing relevance of traditional writing techniques, how might our practices and pedagogies adapt to this shifting interdisciplinarity? What might this look like in contexts where writing exists alongside other forms of artistic communication, such as classrooms, institutions and interdisciplinary practices? How do preexisting notions of art and writing change as technologies and platforms demand new forms of engagement?

Critical Essays on Laughter in War

deadline for submissions: 
Friday, October 4, 2024

War is hell but can also be funny, whether as a safety valve from pressure or catharsis after tragedy, as subversion, as efforts to build and maintain morale, or as exercises in nostalgia. Cinema early discovered the comedy inherent to conflict including the immensely successful 1920 film Alf’s Button, made just after and set during the First World War and notable as being popular despite (or because of) making comedy about the recent war. Comedy about war has since proliferated and writing and themes continue to respond to and adapt themselves to changing global and political circumstances including comedy responding to the Global War on Terror.

CERÆ: AN AUSTRALASIAN JOURNAL OF MEDIEVAL AND EARLY MODERN STUDIES
deadline for submissions: 
Friday, September 27, 2024

In an ideal situation, learning leads to knowledge and knowledge raises awareness. Set within the context of the past, this simple statement leads us to consider a range of different questions. How did medieval and early modern people learn and what did they learn? How did they teach and what did they teach? Who was taught and who was not? Who decided what was to be taught? Such questions, among others, help us understand the process of how learning and knowledge was acquired in the premodern world. But it also helps us better appreciate what we know about the premodern world and what people were trying to achieve when they set out to gain knowledge about their world and the society they lived in.
