Decoding Lynching: Reading of African American and Dalit Literature

Note: Brill has shown interest in the concept of this project and will publish it in one of their series provided the contributions are positively assessed during the peer review process.

Deleuze notes in Negotiations that he did not have the chance to write “the book [he’d] like to have done about literature” as he had done for other artforms like cinema and painting. Following Deleuze and Guattari’s definition of great thinkers who “lay out a new plane of immanence” and “draw up a new image of thought” to “change how we think” (What Is Philosophy), this seminar takes up Deleuze’s desire for new images of thought focused explicitly on literature. This seminar invites participants to consider the relation between Deleuze and Guattari’s philosophy and commentary on art (e.g., painting, cinema, and literature) and a variety of literary writers to establish new ways of thinking and navigating the margins of literature.

Women’s Link is a bi-annual peer reviewed journal that focuses on gender issues from a broad spectrum. Its basic intention is to create awareness and disseminate information about the present situation of women. Women’s Link carries articles on women’s lives from all dimensions i.e.

From Golumbia’s The Cultural Logic of Computation (2009): 

I argue that we must also keep in mind the possibility of de-emphasizing computerization, resisting the intrusion of computational paradigms into every part of the social structure, and resisting too strong a focus on computationalism as the solution to our social problems. This study is written in the belief that computationalism aids some of the pernicious effects of institutional power; and that the best solutions to our pressing social problems lie in the social fabric itself and in social action, and less than we may imagine via computational transformation.

The Intergenerationality of Pentecost: Continuationist Essays

Hello! This is a CFP for the ASLE 2025 Biennial Conference, which will take place July 8-11 in College Park, MD. In accordance with the ASLE 2025 theme (“Collective Atmospheres: Air, Intimacy, and Inequality”), I am soliciting proposals for scholarly presentations that consider the ways in which climate engineering, geoengineering, terraforming (and other related processes) disturb the atmosphere. The panel’s overall purpose is to explore how different representations of and engagements with atmospheric disturbances present opportunities for environmental and climate justice while serving as solutions to potential social and ecological issues like climate change.

Fraught with moral, religious, racial, sexual, and transgressive configurations, the body is a potent site for reflective practices within popular culture. The self-reflexive matrix of popular culture’s representations of human body functions as a site for materializing possibilities of varying forms of living. As a cultural sign, body features in both normative and non-normative debates on identity, selfhood, social relations, power, institutional surveillance and regulation. The practice of its representations, on the other hand, traditionally enables a culture of shared meaning-making which shapes how an individual perceives, thinks, feels, and acts amidst the production and circulation of discourses.
