Recent developments in the study of theatre festivals (Knowles 2020) highlight the importance of investigating festivals as key events, both for the field of theatre and, more broadly, for cultural life. These contributions demonstrate the value of examining festivals from transnational perspectives and exploring their impact on the artistic and social communities that have designed, produced, and hosted them. As recurring events that create a distinct time and space, festivals can be seen as a lens through which processes of negotiation between socio-political positions and artistic perspectives can be investigated, often within a context that is simultaneously local and global.

In a world marked by fluctuating borders, diverse identities, and global interconnectedness, the concepts of hospitality and hostility present complex meanings and challenges. This conference invites scholars and researchers to explore the diverse manifestations of hospitality and hostility across linguistics, literature, culture, social sciences, and political discourse. From acts of welcoming to experiences of exclusion, from cultural exchange to conflict, this theme highlights the delicate balance between openness and resistance, friendship and enmity, inclusion and exclusion.

STS 2025: Textual Remediations University of Pennsylvania
May 28-30, 2025

It has been a quarter of a century since Jay David Bolter and Richard Grusin released Remediation: Understanding New Media. In it, they introduced the term “remediation” as a way of naming the friction generated by material forms as they shape content. Although remediation was originally conceived as “a defining characteristic of new digital media,” the term’s influence has been felt not only in digital studies but across a network of related fields, from book history and textual scholarship to media history and digital humanities.
