Captain Kirk, Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (1991)

We are looking for high quality papers that examine science fiction properties and fiction during that decade. As several papers from the conference have already been selected, we are now calling for additional chapters for the collection generally related to the following topics:

Situated at the locus of power relations in and through language, translators and language teachers are entwined by and within complex ideologies, epistemologies, and governing policies. In particular, their identity construction, personal stance, and mediations continually reproduce, redefine, and/or resist in varying ways the hegemony of the English language both as legacy of British and American colonialism and as prime language of globalization.

Call for Group Proposals

The Congresses of the ICLA welcome papers and panel sessions on all aspects of comparative literature. Without precluding this inclusivity, they also set a theme or themes as special focus for our triennial gathering. The theme chosen for the XXIV Congress in 2025 is “Comparative Literature and Technology”, a relationship that raises important and even urgent questions today, but which has been relevant through the history of literature and culture.

Broken Middles [ACLA 2025, Virtual - deadline today]

Against the backdrop of a 21st century addicted to ‘origins’ and ‘ends,’ this ACLA seminar uses the work of Gillian Rose (1947-1995) to explore the possibilities of the ‘broken middle’. Contemporary politics and literature too often eschew the middle in favour of posited utopias: perceiving in the crisis of the present an imminent transcendence towards redemption (the nation-state made great again) or catastrophe (climate apocalypse); attempting to circumvent social institutions and the media in favour of direct relationships with the other; believing fervently in materiality, affect or corporeality ‘beyond’ the mediation of language (even as its residue).

Chapters are needed for an edited collection entitled Monsters with Minds of Their Own in Western and Global Literatures and Media. This collection seeks to contribute to a series on the non-human in literature and culture. It aims at examining (the intersections between) the notions of monstrosity and evil in the literary and artistic depictions of non-human and hybrid (or post-human) intelligence in different cultural and historical contexts. It focuses on the representation of monsters and creatures that have cognitive abilities as well as on the demonizing and vilification of artificially or magically enhanced human intelligence.
