The second Issue of Volume 7 of LLIDS examines how structures of power constitute and shape urban spaces. It proposes to explore their influence in determining social values wherein varied social groups—marked by religion, class, race, gender, etc.—negotiate the power dynamics that constitute life in urban spaces. The modern, bustling city carries within itself a continuous sense of becoming. The urban dwellers, inhabiting segregated parts of the city, shape the lived experience of these spaces through their socio-cultural interactions and relationships.
Social justice is the virtue which guides us in creating those organized human interactions we call institutions. In turn, social institutions, when justly organized, provide us with access to what is good for the person, both individually and in our associations with others. Social justice also imposes on each of us a personal responsibility to work with others to design and continually perfect our institutions as tools for personal and social development.
– The Center for Economic and Social Justice (CESJ), Washington, D.C., USA
Space is not defined objectively, but in relation to bodies, as it is a manifestation of their needs, intentions, and desires. It is not a container in which objects exist but is intertwined with the body’s orientation in the world and its movements within the space. Human body, therefore, is at the centre of all spaces, which are more than a geometrical concept in abstraction. Individual bodies apprehend and appropriate space differently and give meaning to embedded systems and institutions through established and evolving associations. Any assumption of personalised space, whether private or public, is embedded with historical, cultural, and social meanings which help curate embodied experiences.
Call for Papers: Special Issue of English Studies on Digital Humanities and the English Novel
We are pleased to invite submissions for a special issue of English Studies on the intersection of digital humanities (DH) and the study of the English novel. This special issue aims to push the boundaries of how we understand the novel as a genre by leveraging computational and quantitative methods to explore form, structure, and themes in English fiction. We invite scholars from both the digital humanities and literary studies to contribute to this exciting and interdisciplinary dialogue.
Overview:
In February 2024, the Center for the Study of Ethics in Society at Western Michigan University hosted the Privileged Logics 2024 Conference that examined how privilege shapes STEM research, research ethics, and the very definitions of research quality and research access. The National Science Foundation-funded conference sparked enriching exchanges and fresh perspectives — conversations we want to continue.
The African American Literature Permanent Section of the Midwestern Modern Language Association (MMLA) is requesting abstracts from potential panelists for this year’s in-person conference in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Informed by this year’s conference theme, “The Humanities is Where Hope Lives,” this section is calling for scholarly work that ties literature written by Black Americans to concepts of hope and its relationship to artistic production. Potential questions to address include, but are in no way limited to: How have representations of hope in Black American literature shifted across the centuries? What do depictions of hope look like when it has been disrupted or challenged?

(De)Constructions of the Future
In a 2023 piece in the London Review of Books,Maylin Hays asks,“In the post-marriage era, what happens to the marriage plot?” Despite being in the midst of this alleged “post-marriage era,” conversations about marriage seem to be animating public discourse more than ever—from wildly popular “trad wife” influencers on social media, to the increasing frequency of conversations about gendered household labor in marriage self-help books like Eve Rodsky’s Fair Play (2019) and Kate Mangino’s Equal Partners (2022), to the recent rise in divorce memoirs like Lyz Lenz’s This American Ex-Wife (2024).

Abstract
Queer palimpsests are texts from which queerness has been erased – but only on the surface. Scholars, therefore, are invited to reinvestigate these texts and their underlying queerness. This project includes books, movies, songs, fashion, artifacts, architecture, archives… a queer excavation in order to indicate the traces, specters, echoes, or presences of the past that remain even as many past narrative elements, structures, or tropes are forgotten.
Description
The African Literature Permanent Section of the Midwest Modern Language Association (MMLA) requests abstracts for this year’s convention which will be held in person in Milwaukee, WI.
The Creative Writing II: Poetry permanent section of the Midwest Modern Language Association seeks creative, critical, and hybrid proposals that connect to this year’s convention theme of "The Humanities is Where Hope Lives”. We are particularly interested in presentations from poets and poet-scholars who engage with the value of the Humanities in languages, literature, pedagogy, writing studies, linguistics, folklore, film studies, the digital humanities, and library studies. Any humanities-oriented poetics and praxis are welcome to address any element of these considerations that are pertinent to the discussion.

What Does Hope Look Like?
If it is true, as the CFP for this conference notes, that “hope can be found in the Humanities,” then comics and graphic novels offer a unique glimpse into that hope by drawing on the media affordances of prose and the visual arts. Comics let us “see” hope and optimism is ways other media are unable to.

CREATING AND RESOLVING CONFLICT IN LANGUAGE AND LINGUISTIC STUDIES
We are currently seeking contributions from the humanities and social sciences for a scientific network that explores ephemerality in both its material forms and theoretical conceptualizations. This interdisciplinary network aims to bring into dialogue various questions about ephemerality, specifically examining how different fleeting forms of expression are implicated in the continual making and unmaking of proximities, both human and non-human, producing “a matter of temporary intensities and pacts amongst people” and other entities (Vélez-Serna, 14).
