The distinction between East and West once held significant influence in knowledge production, ranging from voluminous travelogues from Western authors to the prosperity of Oriental Studies in academia of the 18th and 19th centuries. Postcolonial scholarship since the 1970s, including Said’s Orientalism and Spivak’s subaltern studies, sheds new light on the East/West distinction as a dynamic relationship, instead of two settled categories. As globalization significantly boosts the movement of humans, material goods, cultural products and texts, it gives rise to a wide range of imaginations, potentials, intellectual tools but meanwhile crises, conflicts and unequal distribution of power in the constantly changing geo-political landscapes.

Queer and Trans Literary Embodiments 

We, at Intersections, are looking forward to extending our team. Intersections: A Journal of Literary and Cultural Studies (ISSN: 2583-1542)is an interdisciplinary academic journal that encourages new research in literature and cultural studies. Published by the Department of English, Kidderpore College, it offers an interactive forum for critical discourses.

While the journal already has a distinguished editorial team, and an experienced body of reviewers, Intersections is looking for more editors and reviewers to propel the journal towards greater excellence.

Overview 

The Early Scholars Publication Grants, offered through the UNESCO Chair in Translating Cultures at the King Faisal Center for Research and Islamic Studies (KFCRIS) are intended to facilitateand support the publication and dissemination of outstanding graduate-level researchin a peer-reviewed academic publication. The Chair seeks to encourage graduate students to share their research and enhance intercultural dialogue as it relates to the Chair’s annual themes.  

This Comparative Literature session, like its namesake discipline, strives to be broad, inclusive, and interdisciplinary. We therefore welcome proposals that touch on multiple works of literature and strive to make use of more than traditional comparative studies, borrowing analytic or interpretive practices from other disciplines such as philosophy, film and media studies, digital humanities, cultural or art history, etc.

This session seeks papers engaging with a wide variety of Comparative Literature topics, including perhaps, but not necessarily, papers exploring the main theme of this year's PAMLA conference, "Translation in Action," and/or other topics beyond that. The session also invites papers focusing on:

· World Literature
