Last Call: Refocus: The Films of Gregg Araki

deadline for submissions: 
Saturday, November 30, 2024

Producer, director, and screenwriter Gregg Araki is a pivotal figure in independent film, known for his distinctive style and contributions to New Queer Cinema. Despite his inclusion in such cinematic movement thanks to The Living End (1992), and his rise to fame with the Teen Apocalypse Trilogy (1993-1997), Araki's explorations of a more mainstream style and his incursions in television directing have garnered little critical and academic attention, except for his 2004 adaptation of the novel Mysterious Skin and his win of the first ever Cannes Film Festival Queer Palm in 2010 for his film Kaboom.

[ACCUTE 2025] Beyond Trauma (Studies)?

updated: 
Sunday, November 10, 2024 - 4:39pm
Association of Canadian College and University Teachers of English
deadline for submissions: 
Friday, November 22, 2024

This panel aims to provoke discussion of “trauma” and the critical paradigm that has grown up around it in our time. Especially since the publication of Cathy Caruth’s Unclaimed Experience in 1996, “the traumatic” has grown from a specialist analytic discourse to a catch-all framework that informs how we talk about everything from politics, to art, to personal relationships. In short, the concept of trauma today enjoys a culturally dominant status. In recent years, however, the narrative trope of trauma has served as a target for critics increasingly frustrated with its seeming omnipresence.

This area focuses on reproductive justice issues as they appear in popular culture (film, television, social media, music, literature, etc.). Reproductive justice is a term that goes beyond the term reproductive rights, something that typically focuses on contraception and abortion.   According to the SisterSong Women of Color Reproductive Justice Collective, “it’s ‘the human right to maintain personal bodily autonomy, have children, not have children, and parent the children we have in safe and sustainable communities” (Abrams).

Yale University Department of Comparative Literature Graduate Conference

March 28th, 2025

Keynote Speaker: Spyros Papapetros (Princeton University)

 

What sets a scene apart from a mere place or setting? Etymologically, the term resists simplification to a physical location or continuous action. It encompasses both the material apparatus of the stage and the events unfolding upon it. This oscillation— between object and subject, exterior and interior, self and world—forms a conceptual framework that this conference seeks to apply to the study of design.

Walt Whitman and Visual Culture
A special issue of The Walt Whitman Quarterly Review (Fall/Winter 1986-1987) first brought together nearly all the known photographs of Whitman, laying the foundation for the Walt Whitman Archive’s Gallery of Images. Whitman wrote about and sat for sculptors and painters, and he has been the inspiration for many art and film projects. In light of this and the recent publication of several illustrated editions of Whitman’s writings, the Whitman Studies Association invites proposals focused on Whitman and any aspect of visual culture. We seek presentations that explore and analyze Whitman and/or his writings in relation to:

The study and analysis of creative fan production (e.g., fanfiction, fanart, cosplay, etc.) is a cornerstone of fandom studies. These practices enable fans to assert a level of authorship over their favorite media – to reimagine, recontextualize, and reconceptualize their canons to better reflect their desires, wants, interests, and demands. They provide voice to individuals who cannot necessarily shape source texts directly (Vinney & Dill-Shackleford, 2018), allowing fans to carve out space for themselves within the pop-culture landscape that celebrates/embraces their identities. This is particularly poignant for marginalized fans.
