1 Doris Lessing the Storyteller: Literature and Social Change

The interest in Slavic fairy tales and fables remains relatively marginal in international Fairy Tale Studies. Influential essays by Vladimir Propp on the Morphology of the Folktale (1928, English translation 1958, Italian translation 1966) and the Historical Roots of the Wondertale (1946, Italian translation 1949) encouraged international interest in Russian folk tales. However, they also contributed to the tendency to perceive these tales primarily as a manifestation of the oral or folkloric tradition—a perspective that prevails up to this day.
Keywords: Colonialism, Hauntings, Postcolonial, Memory, Imperial, Afterlives, Bodies, Narratives
Empire's ghosts persist beyond colonial rule, manifesting as hauntings that collapse the distance between past and present. These specters transform the immaterial into tangible forces that infiltrate daily life. The colonial past is never truly gone; it lingers, erupting through material and psychic traces.
This panel calls for papers that examine theories and histories of the body alongside histories of fashion and modeling. In what ways do contemporary fashion studies or modeling studies build on or depart from foundational texts that interrogate the body? How do fashion and modeling embody or resist ableism, ageism, transphobia, fatphobia, and other forms of oppression that are mediated through the body? This panel is particularly interested in the role of the model, expansively defined as fashion modeling, artist's modeling, instagram modeling or other forms of model-like roles and embodied performances.

Maybe love is like rain. Sometimes gentle, sometimes torrential,
flooding, eroding, quiet, steady, filling the earth, collecting in hidden springs.
When it rains, when we love, new life grows.

This panel invites papers addressing the formative roles played by the queer print infrastructures that established, defined, and perpetuated literary modernism. Via the material production systems of independent magazines, small-run presses, special edition printings, and specialist bookstores (including Shakespeare & Co., The Little Review, The Egoist, Hogarth Press, Fire!!, etc, etc) queer/non-normative people had a remarkable shaping effect on the material productions and aesthetic coherences/incoherences of commercial and ‘high’ modernism.
