ABSTRACT
Since the end of direct colonization, African literature has remained anchored in a new direction of consciousness-raising and awakening for black people. This literature, which has always served as a means of expression and protest in the face of social challenges, has since served as a tool for learning and education.

This panel explores the movement and circulation of texts within multilingual contact zones, spaces that, through cultural exchange, commerce, and conflict, are defined by the presence of multiple languages. Multilingualism is often heralded as a feature of cosmopolitanism, defined against nationalist monolingualism, yet it can also be the product of forces including incipient capitalist mercantilism, imperialist conquest and colonization, and exile.

In all medical practices, two goals stand out: to cure and to care. In a vernacular context, care is discursive, relational, and mutual, while cure is linear, utilitarian, and quantifiable. In his book Care and Cure: An Introduction to the Philosophy of Medicine, Jacob Stegenga iterates on two sides of the care-cure conundrum: “[...] when an intervention mitigates harm then it provides some care, and when an intervention mitigates abnormal biological functioning
then it goes some way toward cure.”

“Dissent Nearby: Diasporic & LGBTQ+ Resistance”
Cinema and Posthuman Bodies
Edited by Asijit Datta
Session Format: Seminar
This session invites scholars to bring Chaucer and the Lancastrian poets in
conversation with the latest criticism and theoretical underpinnings in
relation to queer and trans studies of the last few years. Particularly, using
time as a teleological field to measure queer and trans experience,
embodiment, and memoir. Chaucerian and medieval studies have been33
responsible for groundbreaking work over the years on pre-modern
conceptions of gender and sexuality. However, those fields are also
responsible for the perpetuation of cisgender/cissexual centred optics that
have continued to influence the reception of texts like The Canterbury
Conference online (via Zoom): 24-25 April 2025
All details: 7th "Memory, Affects and Emotions" Conference
CFP:
Affects, emotions and perceptions have always been at the center of philosophical discussion. Yet the so-called “Affective turn” in social studies and humanities is a relatively new phenomenon inspired by Deleuze and Guattari´s influential works among others. Affective turn challenges the still dominant representational approach in semiotics, discourse analysis and text analyses of all kinds.

Life and art are entangled. […] Art makes life new. We become something different in an art world. And crucially, our world has always been an art world.

Taylor Swift is everywhere, it seems, and teachers at all levels have begun to Taylor-tailor their courses to harness her popularity for student learning. At the K-12 level, the TeachersPayTeachers site boasts TS figurative poetry lessons, TS-themed reading comprehension mystery games, TS rhetorical analysis units, and pages more of TS-specific materials (“Taylor Swift”). At the college level, courses devoted explicitly to Taylor Swift are proliferating, from BYU’s political science offering, “Ms.
This is an updated version of a previously submitted CfP for Planet Flanagan, a collection examining the Netflix series of Mike Flanagan. The call for chapters was very successful and we have some great work in progress, but we are still missing chapters covering two key content areas:

The critically acclaimed science fiction series Severance (produced by Ben Stiller and created by Dan Erickson, 2022-) explores the idea of surgically dividing a person’s memories between their work and private lives. It raises many thought-provoking questions, embedded in a rich environment of cultural references and equipped with a distinct visual style, nuanced storytelling, and outstanding performances of its cast. With its second season, it has become the most successful production by Apple TV+ so far and is widely discussed by critics and fans. A large part of the fascination for the series comes from the multitude of possible readings it elicits.
