                                              Voices of Change: Women in 19th and 20th Century Indian Print Culture

The narrative of women in Indian print culture reflects a dynamic interplay of struggle and achievement, where, despite significant contributions, women's voices were frequently marginalized, and societal expectations and institutional barriers often constrained their roles. This complex history underscores the ongoing need for a more inclusive historical narrative that fully acknowledges the diverse and critical roles women have played
in shaping print culture in India.

International and Interdisciplinary Conference "Games & Game Studies Beyond Postmodernism"

4-5 September, 2025

The World of Warcraft Handbook: Twenty Years in Azeroth (Palgrave Macmillan, 2026)
Edited by David John Boyd (University of Glasgow) &  Russell McDermott (Dickinson College)

This session explores how multi-ethnic American literature navigates palimpsestic memory—narratives layered with the lingering and hidden imprints of forced migration, slavery, displacement, and systemic erasure. From the brutal dislocations of the transatlantic slave trade to the quiet erasures embedded in ongoing displacement and marginalization, writers have often turned to transcribing stories of the past and present as a process of “Rememory[ing].” This panel seeks papers exploring the ways in which multi-ethnic literature traces stories despite systematic and social mandates to usher such narratives into oblivion. We especially welcome literary papers detailing a resistance and reclamation of racially oppressed identities.

Modernist Studies in the 21st century has rigorously adapted itself to bridge the gap between the narrowly periodized referent of “modernism” and the much broader range of literary-critical interests that the term encompasses. This trend is heralded by Douglas Mao and Rebecca Walkowitz’s 2008 call for a spatio-temporally and “vertically” expanded “New Modernist Studies,” and it reaches its logical extreme in Susan Stanford Friedman’s Planetary Modernisms (2015), which locates discrete modernisms both throughout and beyond the scope of recorded human history.

Abstract

Any proposals dealing with British literature and culture of the long 19th century are welcome. Of particular interest are proposals focusing on authors or works not typically discussed, and proposals that connect to the conference theme of "Palimpsests: Memory and Oblivion."

Description

While any proposals dealing with British literature and culture from this period are welcome, these topics are of particular interest:

• The remembered and the forgotten

• Photography

• Romantic memory
