It is our conviction that existing models of criticism privilege and sustain prevailing hegemonies—and thus that critical form is in urgent need of intervention and innovation.

   — Jenny Cookson and Emma Gomis

This panel explores the potential convergences between 1960s psychedelia and medieval material culture, including surreal imagery, animation, bright colors, and the cross-pollination of disparate media attempting to evoke a hallucinogenic or heightened response in the viewer. 

With the theme of (Re)generation in mind, this roundtable explores 21st-century cultural products created by women in Transatlantic and Latinx contexts. The works of prominent authors and filmmakers of our era (María Fernanda Ampuero, Liliana Colanzi, Mariana Enríquez, Belén Gopegui, Angélica Gorodischer, Rita Indiana, Carmen Maria Machado, Sara Mesa, Guadalupe Nettel, Mónica Ojeda, Anita Rocha da Silveira, Samatha Schweblin, to name a few...) reveal that women are still marginalized and disregarded within their societies. Still, despite the unsettling tone that often characterizes these works, they also offer bridges to more equitable realities made possible by powerful feminist coalitions and unconventional alliances.

Hemingway in Toronto

July 20-25 2026 | Toronto, Canada

The Hemingway Society invites proposals for the 21st International Hemingway Conference, exploring Hemingway’s ties to Toronto and his broader literary legacy.

Toronto was a pivotal stop in Hemingway’s early career—a place where he honed his craft as a journalist, earned his first bylines at The Toronto Star, and briefly settled to welcome his first child in 1923. The 2026 conference offers an opportunity to revisit these formative years and discuss Hemingway’s impact from multiple perspectives.

Scope

Joan of Arc has long been a muse to musicians, inspiring operas (Verdi, Tchaikovsky) musicals (Goodtime Charley) sung mystery plays (Claudel & Honneger), ballads (Leonard Cohen, Arcade Fire) and pop culture parodies such as the rap battle between Miley Cyrus and the Maid. Her story has also been powerfully related en muet in early silent films. This panel investigates the “sound effects” of Joan’s story, considering the roles of music, speech, silence, voices, and voiceover.

Questions may be directed to panel organizers Tara Smithson (tsmithson@saintmarys.edu) and Scott Manning (smanning@gmail.com).

The conference is co-organized by Sofia University "St. Kliment Ohridski", Samarkand State University "Sharof Rashidov" and Bukhara State University.
The main goal of the international forum is to give a new impetus to the development of science and education through a new reading of the scientific heritage of ancient philosophical treatises from the perspective of modern discussions and dialogue between the East and the West.
Main thematic areas:
1. Historical context and cultural influences - Eastern and Western perceptions
2. Contemporary problems and future prospects. East-West interdisciplinary approaches.
3. Classification of sciences - synergy of scientific knowledge

Multiethnic literature of the United States has a history of rethinking, reimagining, and redefining race and racism through the study of non-white and ethnic Euro-American literature, narratives, and experiences. Throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, ethnic American writers have written on what seemed to have been bleak, harsh, dystopian presents, and even apocalyptic futures. Writers who write of their personal, communal, or cultural lived experiences that are outside the norms of the dominant society know and understand that a harsh past and present can still bring about renewal and a bright future. And they have used their voices to represent a broad array of experiences in the U.S.

Ekphrasis and the Music of Literature: Music, Literature, and the Visual Arts 

This session invites proposals that explore the intersection of visual, aural, and verbal frontiers.  Although ekphrasis and musical form mirror words, they directly affect the emotions at a primordial level not available to verbal articulation. Ekphrasis translates words into visual images, whereas musical form translates them into sounds and rhythms. What are the differences between these modes of expression and how they affect their audiences?

Hobhouse's career was ultimately marked by his election as a Fellow of the British Academy a hundred years ago, in 1925.Leonard Trelawny Hobhouse (1864-1929) was an extremely dynamic scholar and journalist, who wrote prolifically on a wide variety of subjects that were invariably closely related to the political and social reality of his time. Politics and sociology were, in fact, the two great fields that inspired most of the author's writings. Besides being a vigorous political thinker, Hobhouse was also one of the founding fathers of sociology in England and held the first Professorship of this discipline in the country. In fact, within the ideological sphere, L. T.
