Dress Devolution 2 Conference. 

9-11 July 2024

Falmouth University

Conference theme: Seaside Style: Coastal Fashion, Textiles and Costume 

Dress Devolution investigates styles, practices and representations around dress and textiles outside of metropolotan contexts.  The beach as a liminal space has long been a site of leisured, risque, specialised and defiantly un-urban dress and textile parctices which this conference aims to explore.

CALL FOR PAPERS: Esferas Literarias nº 7 (2024)

Monograph: The monstrous mother in Literature 

The William James Society (WJS), in conjunction with William James Studies, would like to announce that it will be offering its annual Young Scholar Prize to the young scholar (within five years of the Ph.D.) who submits the essay that best explores the thought and work of William James.

The prize will include: (1) the opportunity to read the paper during the WJS session at the meeting of the Society for the Advancement of American Philosophy in March 2025, (2) $750 to subsidize travel to that meeting, and (3) publishing the paper in William James Studies.

In this roundtable session, we invite presenters to share their work in French or in English pertaining to science fiction, speculative fiction and fantasy in texts, film, or comics originally published in the French language. These narrative genres are often ways to comment on social change by placing characters in other contexts through world-building or imagined interactions between humans and non-human entities.

« The Translator at Work: Neutrality in Translation and Interpreting »

Translators and interpreters are expected to be neutral mediators who facilitate dialogue and enable understanding and cooperation between speakers who do not speak the same language. Research has shown, however, that the transfer of information from one language to another is rarely performed without making certain contributions that go beyond the mere rendition of the message being transferred. Translation is a product of cross-cultural interactions that requires linguistic and at times, sociopolitical or even ideological changes.

As an interdisciplinary academic field devoted to examining and critiquing the social, cultural, and historical constructions of masculinity, masculinity studies explores how masculinity is defined, performed, and experienced across different societies and time periods. This field intersects with various disciplines, including sociology, gender studies, psychology, cultural studies, and history, among others. This often leads to the absence of dedicated departments or research centres in academic institutions focusing exclusively on masculinity studies which, in turn, makes it challenging to enable productive dialogues among disciplinary boundaries.
