60th International Congress on Medieval Studies, Western Michigan University, May 8-10, 2025.
From Golumbia’s The Cultural Logic of Computation (2009):
I argue that we must also keep in mind the possibility of de-emphasizing computerization, resisting the intrusion of computational paradigms into every part of the social structure, and resisting too strong a focus on computationalism as the solution to our social problems. This study is written in the belief that computationalism aids some of the pernicious effects of institutional power; and that the best solutions to our pressing social problems lie in the social fabric itself and in social action, and less than we may imagine via computational transformation. (5)
From Golumbia’s “‘Communication,’ ‘Critical’” (2013):
ICMS, May 8-10, 2025 - Global Petrarch(s) and Petrarchism(s) – *in person session*

'Phrases I would like to strike from the English language: “speaking my truth” and “my journey.”'
—Katya Zamolodchikova, in conversation with Trixie Mattel, I Like to Watch (2019)
'If gender attributes and acts, the various ways in which a body shows or produces its cultural signification, are performative, then there is no preexisting identity by which an act or attribute might be measured; there would be no true or false, real or distorted acts of gender, and the postulation of a true gender identity would be revealed as a regulatory fiction.'
—Judith Butler, Gender Trouble (London: Routledge, 1999 [1990]), p. 180.

Hello! This is a CFP for the ASLE 2025 Biennial Conference, which will take place July 8-11 in College Park, MD. In accordance with the ASLE 2025 theme (“Collective Atmospheres: Air, Intimacy, and Inequality”), I am soliciting proposals for scholarly presentations that consider the ways in which climate engineering, geoengineering, terraforming (and other related processes) disturb the atmosphere. The panel’s overall purpose is to explore how different representations of and engagements with atmospheric disturbances present opportunities for environmental and climate justice while serving as solutions to potential social and ecological issues like climate change.
Edited Collection: Neoliberal Entanglements in The White Lotus
Overview:
Fraught with moral, religious, racial, sexual, and transgressive configurations, the body is a potent site for reflective practices within popular culture. The self-reflexive matrix of popular culture’s representations of human body functions as a site for materializing possibilities of varying forms of living. As a cultural sign, body features in both normative and non-normative debates on identity, selfhood, social relations, power, institutional surveillance and regulation. The practice of its representations, on the other hand, traditionally enables a culture of shared meaning-making which shapes how an individual perceives, thinks, feels, and acts amidst the production and circulation of discourses.

Concept Note
What scares us? Why do we sleep with the lights on? What creatures wait to grab a foot sticking out from under the covers? Why do we avoid the woods after dark?
This special issue of Humanities is themed on “Re-Imagining Classical Monsters.” Acrossall cultures, there have been monsters that have terrified, taught, othered, and much more. This issue will take a broad look at how modern authors and artists across genres conceptualize creatures—non-human as well as human—that haunt the imagination.
