SPECIAL ISSUE – Art and Imagination: Philosophical Issues

Though some have dismissed the imagination as “the junkyard of the mind,” just about all artists will vouch for the fact that the imagination is not just essential but also central to the arts. This is true not only of the creation or production of artworks, it is the case also when it comes to the reception or experience of art.

2025 ACIS-BCPS CONFERENCE
FEBRUARY 23-26, 2025 | DESOTO SAVANNAH, SAVANNAH, GA

The Program Committee for the American Conference for Irish Studies (ACIS) and the British Commonwealth and Postcolonial Studies Conference (BCPS) cordially invites the electronic submission of proposals for papers, panels, and other relevant presentations.

The current surge of graphic novels in French, from Marjane Satrapi's oft-celebrated Persepolis to Jessica Oublié's lesser-known-yet-prize-winning Péyi An Nou, signifies a shift in priorities for Francophone storytellers. Graphic novels create meaning through the interplay of text and image; they privilege non-linear storytelling and thinking; and they prioritize accessibility over erudition. As a marginalized genre, graphic novels are a welcome home for those writing and illustrating from the margins of society. In a graphic novel, what we see is never the full story; instead, we are constantly challenged into new modes of "seeing" and "reading" that question assumptions about the consumption of literature and art.

This conference, marking the 50th anniversary of the formation of the African Literature Association (ALA), explores the ways in which African writers reconceive movement and place. Often, narratives about Africans on the move, particularly migrant Africans, reflect a tension between motion and stasis. Such tensions highlight the often-unsettling narrative transitions that characterize recent poetry, fiction, drama, and non-fiction from Africa and the diaspora. While narratives like NoViolet Bulawayo’s We Need New Names depict the exigencies of forced removal, others, like Fatou Diome’s Belly of the Atlantic describe identities and situations in flux.

Although writers like Sappho and Shakespeare died hundreds of years ago, the works they left behind are still vibrantly alive. When we read them, we recognize something fundamental about ourselves. In this roundtable, literature scholars, creative essayists, and poets reflect on deeply personal encounters with “old” books, texts, and images from the pre-Industrial past. Covering a range of topics—Shakespeare and divorce, Dante and gender, Hippocrates and the modern health-care system, St. Agatha and embodiment, studying the Middle Ages while Black—these essays show how conversations with the past continues to animate our twenty-first century lives.

We are especially interested in essays that engage the 17th and 18th centuries.

As today we see Western countries enacting various immigration laws and borders are being mined to prevent “intruders” from accessing those countries. Faced with (in)security in sub-Saharan Africa the African woman has become that monster of abjection residing in that marginal geography, dwelling in the gates of difference in unfamiliar spaces. The African woman faced with (im)migration goes through a strong feeling of revulsion, fear, or aversion, she is treated as something that is a threat to one's boundaries and undermines one's sense of identity and security, exemplifying Kristeva’s idea of abjection.

James Baldwin Review Special Issue CFP: “The Standards Which Have Almost Killed You Are Really Mercantile Standards”: Race, Class, Baldwin

In 21st-century Ireland, women have experienced several (r)evolutions in their political rights that have, in turn, shaped the imagination of the nation. Irish abortion law faced a major public challenge with the 2012 death of Savita Halappanavar after she was denied an abortion while suffering a septic miscarriage; in 2018, lawmakers passed a law that allows abortion up to week 12 of pregnancy, a small victory in a nation where abortion under any circumstances beyond saving the life of the mother was forbidden.

Literary works, video games, comics, TV shows, films, and podcasts that adapt or retell Classical mythology remain popular. Yet, recent attention on these contemporary stories has focused largely on women and women’s perspectives, while Classical queer identities have been decidedly underexplored or even excluded from feminist scholarship. Works such as Xena: Warrior Princess, BBC/Netflix’s Troy: Fall of a City, Madeline Miller’s The Song of Achilles, Steven Sherrill’s The Minotaur Takes a Cigarette Break, and Supergiant Games’ Hades and Hades II demonstrate a sustained interest in centering queer bodies and voices within the Classical tradition.
