Half a century later, the seeds Alice Walker planted with her seminal essay “In Search of Our Mothers’ Gardens” (1974) continue to  blossom today in aesthetic conversations. In Search of a Beautiful Freedom: New and Selected Essays (2023), whose title is inspired in part by Alice Walker’s In Search of Our Mothers’ Gardens: Womanist Prose (1983), Farah Jasmine Griffin asserts, “That book helped to shape many of us formed as intellectuals and writers in its wake.

“In Paradise, there are no stories, because there are no journeys. It's loss and regret and misery and yearning that drive the story forward, along its twisted road.” Margaret Atwood

For the Twenty-Ninth Graduate Student Conference of the Latin American, Iberian, and Latino Cultures Program at the Graduate Center, The City University of New York, the organizing committee is welcoming researchers in cultural studies, intellectual history, performance studies, linguistics, art history, and related disciplines to submit their work exploring and analyzing cultures of extermination in cultural productions across Latin America, the Caribbean, and the Iberian Peninsula. The conference is scheduled to take place in New York City on April 10-11, 2025.

This interdisciplinary conference will explore the transformations undergone by the Gothic genre since its inception. It will discuss and analyse the development and mutation of the genre on aesthetic, thematic and linguistic levels. The trajectory of Gothic literature encompasses the dynamics of continuity and discontinuity as two defining features of the genre. In fact, the transition from Horace Walpole’s The Castle of Otranto, the first Gothic fiction that set the conventions of the genre, to Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein and Dracula, and then to modern and postmodern Gothic genres (poetry, fiction, films) entails the revival and the introduction of new Gothic tropes.

We invite submissions for the fifth issue of Theatre Academy: A Journal of World Theatre which will be published electronically in March. Theatre Academy is indexed in MLA International Bibliography.

* Deadline is the end of January but we strongly advise the potential writers to send their manuscripts in as soon as possible.

* Original works, not published elsewhere or related to theatre in any context will be considered for publication.

* Please note that all manuscripts will be closely examined through Turnitin once they are received by the journal.

What does it mean to observe the world from within? How might we account for subjective experience in our conceptions of scientific fact? If we read the world as the “reciprocal reflection of perspectives,” as theoretical physicist Carlo Rovelli urges us to do, how will our definitions of objectivity change? This panel invites papers that examine the central questions of quantum mechanics in the context of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, a period when our original empiricist frameworks took emphatic shape.

With its different formats – ranging from full papers to reviews, conference reports, and data papers –  the journal fosters academic discussion across these disciplines, especially regarding methodological questions: Each issue will consist of double-blind peer-reviewed full papers, alongside with an editorially reviewed section consisting of data papers (data sets and complementary text), reviews, conference reports, and a “Method Lab” section with shorter papers and interviews that provide insight into work-in-progress, methodological challenges, as well as best practices.
