During our sixth annual online event, we will discuss 'making, remaking, and limitations' in festive, celebratory, and ritual cultures. Our questions are: How and why do people continue to make and remake culture? In what ways do they experience limitations when making and remaking culture, if any? What is the significance of the making and remaking of culture and whom is it for?

Special Issue Call for Papers Bandung: Journal of the Global South Brutalism, Remaindered Life and World-making in the Precarious Global South: Representations in Fiction and Film

Objective

This special issue focuses on the critical practices that give rise to the notion of ‘brutalism’ and ‘remaindered life’ in the global South. Tied centrally to the militarized nature of neoliberalism, the concept of brutalism and remaindered life will be analyzed to understand how the divisive nature of neoliberalism is not only exploitative but aims to retain, even heighten the cultural supremacy, economic superstructure, and political power of the global North.

Following the inaugural Henri Nouwen Lectureship, the Henri Nouwen Society, in partnership with the Oblate School of Theology, is pleased to announce an Academic Symposium dedicated to the life, work, and enduring influence of Henri Nouwen, a profound thinker and writer whose contributions to theology, spirituality, and pastoral care have inspired countless individuals and communities. This symposium aims to bring together scholars and practitioners to explore and critically engage with Nouwen’s rich body of work.
