In her artist statement for Along the River of Spacetime (2020), a virtual reality “activation” of Anishinaabe star knowledge, scholar, artist, and video game designer Elizabeth LaPensée (Irish, Métis, Anishinaabe) described the ways in which Anishinaabe cosmologies anticipated a series of experiments carried out by CERN's Large Hadron Collider, the world's most advanced particle accelerator.
In keeping with this year’s MMLA conference theme, “The Humanities is Where Hope Lives,” this permanent session is seeking proposals, which discuss how we “make our case” for Early Modern English. How do we explain to our audiences – both in our classrooms and in public settings – on what interests us and motivates our scholarly activities? How do we demonstrate impact and encourage further participation? Where does the study of Early Modern English align with other organizations and initiatives designed to promote the humanities in public life? What has worked for us? What hasn’t?

In some ways, war does not change. In others, it is constantly in flux. Contemporary warfare is aided, disrupted, and mediated by ever-developing digital technologies, semi-autonomous and autonomous weapons and equipment, deepfake AI propaganda, mediation through social media, and much more. These shifts suggest that contemporary warfare is in some sense a ‘new’ modality of conflict, or at least that it has new and distinctive characteristics that are in urgent need of analysis and critique. What is clear is that we must scrutinize the utility of the central binaries that structure our knowledge of war—wartime and peacetime, battlefield and safe zone, innocence and complicity—in order to understand the state of contemporary armed conflict.
In a 2022 article, one of a number of related works, and drawing on the work of Didier Deleule and François Guéry (2014)– the late art theorist Marina Vishmidt critiqued the manner in which an analysis of ‘bodies’ seemed to be overly focused on the register of vulnerability, or the post-structuralist, discursive, or psychoanalytic dimensions, thus relegating bodies excessively to the realm of the abstract, to the exclusion of the concrete. Anatomy, with regards to both its aesthetic and scientific purposes, also has abstract and concrete dimensions – as innovative recent works analyzing anatomy within its broader social and historical contexts demonstrate.
