Spanning distances between bequeathed social identities and quests towards becoming, Indian women have documented the many shapes that such striving takes. They have traversed distances between equality and freedom; sifted nostalgia and futuristic imaginations; and mediated ideas of collectivization and autonomy. The upcoming issue of Indraprasth – A Journal of Culture and Communication Studies, investigates the ways in which Indian women writers and artists have perceived and shaped the world in literature and art.

Developed and promoted by the German-speaking academic community, frequently mobilized by Anglophone and Scandinavian scholars, yet less used in Francophone and Italophone research, the concept of postmigration marks a significant shift in migration discourses. By dissolving the binary opposition between migrants and non-migrants, it allows immigration to be regarded as an intrinsic component of European societies. The conference “From Experiences to Storytelling of Postmigration” aligns with this ongoing epistemological and analytical transformation. It aims to explore how postmigration thinking is reshaping the narratives that can be written, spoken, or reconstructed from migration-related experiences.

A Duel Between Memories: (Special Session) at the Pacific Ancient and Modern Language Association (PAMLA) Conference 2025

Jewish Israelis and Palestinian Arabs have, through literature, songs, poetry, film, and other media, constructed two very different understandings of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict's history. This session invites papers that address any aspect of the role that literature and/or other media have played in creating, maintaining, and disseminating two distinct narratives. Proposals related to the conference theme of "Palimpsests: Memory and Oblivion" are preferred but not required.

The Literary Encyclopedia at www.litencyc.com is looking for qualified writers to enhance its coverage of postwar and contemporary American poetry. Following is a list of poets for whom we are seeking introductory essays of ca. 2500 words covering biography and historical context and giving a brief overview of relevant works. The list below is not comprehensive or final, and new proposals of writers/works/context essays that are not currently listed in our database are also welcome.

“Violence is man recreating himself,” psychiatrist and critic Frantz Franon wrote in 1961 in The Wretched of the Earth as he witnessed postcolonial destruction in the wake of the Algerian War. The violence he underscored in his seminal work was not the centuries-long decimation of the land and culture of the oppressed, but rather the revolution of the colonized against hegemony to reclaim a national and racial identity.
