Minority Identities and Vernacular Visual Culture. Interdisciplinary symposium

updated: 
Friday, November 8, 2024 - 4:28am
University of Chicago
deadline for submissions: 
Tuesday, December 10, 2024

Minority groups are often underrepresented in official archives, which has resulted in their continuing marginalization in historiography. Critical archive scholars argue for empowering such groups by developing and investigating archival collections. This symposium intends to expand this approach by demonstrating how the visual practices of underrepresented groups can be studied through underutilized data sources. To this end, the symposium will focus on indigenous, black, and diaspora communities seen through their visual production, with the presumption that the vernacular representations of everyday life can provide substantial insights into evolving minority identities.

Teaching the Arthurian Tradition(s)

updated: 
Tuesday, November 5, 2024 - 10:37am
Illinois Medieval Association
deadline for submissions: 
Sunday, December 1, 2024

Deadline for Proposals: December 1

Session: 2:00 pm (Central) January 17, online via Zoom

The Arthurian Tradition(s) is often most students’ first and only exposure to the Middle Ages. Exposure often comes from films that students have seen: Fuqua’s King Arthur (2004), Ritchie’s King Arthur: Legend of the Sword (2017), and Lowery’s Green Knight (2021). What students learn from a course or unit on the Arthurian Tradition(s) is often very different from filmed depictions. This session seeks papers that explore issues, opportunities, and innovations in teaching the Arthurian Traditions(s). We welcome all aspects of teaching Arthuriana.

Jamesian Beginnings

Henry James Society
deadline for submissions: 
Wednesday, January 15, 2025

The appeal of teleological thinking often shapes our readings of James, whether of individual works or of his career as a whole. But rather than let a sense of the ending determine our interpretation of what came before, how might James look different if we focused instead on beginnings? How does he typically begin a tale or novel—and how, if at all, do his strategies differ from those of other short story writers or novelists? How, where, or when doesn’t he begin? How is beginning thematized within the fictions, as in Isabel Archer’s practice of “beginning afresh a great many times” or Madame Merle’s wish that she could “begin again”? How did James himself begin as a writer?

James Baldwin and the Reproduction of Racial Capitalism

 

A Call for Papers for a Special Issue of James Baldwin Review

 

Social domination, as exerted and felt through the categories of race, class, sex, and gender, finds itself expressed in and through James Baldwin’s work, often unevenly, subject to the peculiarities of his historical moments. Both Baldwin and his interpreters can be seen to elevate one vector of domination in racial capitalist modernity over the others, or forget one at the others’ expense, obscuring our vision of such domination and our capacities for struggling against it.
