In September 1966, the first episode of Star Trek aired on American television, introducing audiences to a future shaped by exploration, diplomacy, scientific discovery, and the possibility of social progress beyond the limitations of the present.

This edited volume, Emergence of New World Imagination in Nineteenth- and Twentieth-Century Asia: Understanding Asian Colonial Countries through Travelogues, Memoirs, Testimonies and Archival Documents, seeks to examine how autobiographical narratives, letters, memoirs, travelogues, oral narratives, and archival documents written in various Indian languages engage with the colonial and postcolonial histories of East Asia, Southeast Asia, West Asia, and South Asia.

INTOXICATING MODERNISM

This panel examines how Germans have claimed, imagined, and narrated the Pacific from the nineteenth century to the present. From the colonial administration of Samoa, New Guinea, and Micronesia to missionary encounters, ethnographic expeditions, settler migration along the Pacific coast, and contemporary literary reckonings with colonial pasts, German engagements with the Pacific raise questions about imperial ambition, cultural fantasy, and the politics of memory.

We invite chapter proposals for an edited collection of essays based upon our split-panel session, Adventures in Ecocriticism, at SAMLA 97. We plan to propose this collection for the Bloomsbury Ecocritical Theory and Practice Series, at the encouragement of the series editor, Douglas Vakoch.

This panel explores archives beyond the traditional frame and instead as embodied spaces of cultural memory and histories inscribed on skin. Building upon Hortense Spillers’ important essay Mama’s Baby, Papa’s Maybe (1987), we seek papers from humanities scholars in the French and Francophone worlds that reframe the body not as a passive victim but as a living text, a site of memory, and an alternative space that rescripts official records. By retracing histories through the reading of the body, we can activate affect, unleash unexpected memories, and create generative spaces for art that centres on cultural knowledge to empower communities.

We invite proposals for an anthology about drag in Appalachia. The collection aims to explore drag’s artistry, history, and cultural power. We welcome scholars, performers, and community storytellers whose work illuminates the region’s queer lineages, traditions, politics, creativity, and beyond. We especially invite pieces that examine drag as labor, community care, spiritual practice, historical reclamation, or engagement with Appalachia’s diverse cultural landscapes.

This panel examines how 21st-century Latin American women writers mobilize animality as a speculative practice to rethink the limits of the human. Moving beyond metaphor or allegory, these texts stage multispecies intimacies—zones of proximity in which human–animal lives become entangled across bodies, affects, and environments, unsettling stable distinctions among species, subjectivities, and forms of agency.

“Sex is more exciting on the screen and between the pages than between the sheets”
- ANDY WARHOL

Drawing on the arpillera as both an aesthetic practice and a critical model, this seminar explores how 21st-century Latin American women’s writing can be read through constellations, transnational and uneven archives, and relational frameworks. Rather than organizing analysis along national or canonical lines, it approaches texts as dynamic assemblages that weave together bodies, territories, affects, and political histories.

Technological futures are not given. They are made, and they can be made differently. EMERGE 2026: Contested Futures takes place at a moment when AI systems have become central to the organization of economic power, political control, and social sorting, while democratic institutions struggle to keep pace and ecological costs mount. Rather than treating technological change as inevitable or neutral, the conference invites critical reflection on how emerging technologies are developed, governed, narrated, and contested.

eds. Kate Genevieve, Jessica Hurley, Juan Francisco Salazar

An anthology marking fifty years since the launch of NASA’s Voyager mission and the Golden Record, inviting outer space studies and artistic contributions to grow just, plural futures for the second space age. This volume takes the Voyager Golden Record as a catalyst for creatively rethinking planetary futures. Bringing together artists with historians of science, STS scholars, ethnographers and community practitioners engaged with outer space, the book combines critique with reparative and imaginative work.
