Title: Interactive Narratives: Rethinking Interactivity and Digital Archiving
ACLA Conference Dates: May 29–June 1, 2025, Online
Call for Papers and Book Chapters
For the Twenty-Ninth Graduate Student Conference of the Latin American, Iberian, and Latino Cultures Program at the Graduate Center, The City University of New York, the organizing committee is welcoming researchers in cultural studies, intellectual history, performance studies, linguistics, art history, and related disciplines to submit their work exploring and analyzing cultures of extermination in cultural productions across Latin America, the Caribbean, and the Iberian Peninsula. The conference is scheduled to take place in New York City on April 10-11, 2025.
In humanities, food, feeding, and feedback come together under one umbrella of human nature, culture, and creativity. Within this context fall the ethical, epistemological, phenomenological, and political tropes of food, calling for understanding and interrogation.
Food as a thematic focus in art has acquired a wide range of meanings related to consumption and consumerism, the search for and the loss of identity, localization/globalization, and high/pop culture. In literature, food has also been used as a metaphor for gender roles, human desires, power dynamics, and social status.
This interdisciplinary conference will explore the transformations undergone by the Gothic genre since its inception. It will discuss and analyse the development and mutation of the genre on aesthetic, thematic and linguistic levels. The trajectory of Gothic literature encompasses the dynamics of continuity and discontinuity as two defining features of the genre. In fact, the transition from Horace Walpole’s The Castle of Otranto, the first Gothic fiction that set the conventions of the genre, to Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein and Dracula, and then to modern and postmodern Gothic genres (poetry, fiction, films) entails the revival and the introduction of new Gothic tropes.
The Leon Edel Prize is awarded annually for the best essay on Henry James by a beginning scholar. The prize carries with it an award of $300, and the prize-winning essay will be published in HJR.
The competition is open to applicants who have not held a full-time academic appointment for more than four years. Independent scholars and graduate students are encouraged to apply.
Essays should be 20-30 pages (including notes), original, and not under submission elsewhere or previously published. Please send electronic submssions in Microsoft Word format and a current CV to hjamesr@creighton.edu.
We invite submissions for the fifth issue of Theatre Academy: A Journal of World Theatre which will be published electronically in March. Theatre Academy is indexed in MLA International Bibliography.
* Deadline is the end of January but we strongly advise the potential writers to send their manuscripts in as soon as possible.
* Original works, not published elsewhere or related to theatre in any context will be considered for publication.
* Please note that all manuscripts will be closely examined through Turnitin once they are received by the journal.

What does it mean to observe the world from within? How might we account for subjective experience in our conceptions of scientific fact? If we read the world as the “reciprocal reflection of perspectives,” as theoretical physicist Carlo Rovelli urges us to do, how will our definitions of objectivity change? This panel invites papers that examine the central questions of quantum mechanics in the context of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, a period when our original empiricist frameworks took emphatic shape.

Wyndham Lewis: Collaboration, Influence, Impact
From his uneasy alliance with first-wave feminists to his role as a frontman for state-sponsored attempts to popularise the inter-war avant-garde in 1950s radio, Wyndham Lewis’s collaborative endeavours are as varied as they are surprising.
“It matters what matters we use to think other matters with; it matters what stories we tell to tell other stories with; it matters what knots knot knots, what thoughts think thoughts, what descriptions describe, what ties tie ties. It matters what stories make worlds; what worlds make stories.”
Donna Haraway, Staying with the Trouble.
In her introduction to Living with the Weather: Climate Change, Ecology, and Displacement in South Asia, Piya Srinivasan emphasizes that the focus of the essays in the collection is to “imagine and investigate non-human spaces: charlands, crumbling coastlines, land facing desertification.” (Srinivasan 7) In a reportage-based essay in this anthology, investigating climate migration from the Sundarbans, Dipanjan Sinha discusses the present condition of these marshlands. He argues that the unique ecological and economic challenges faced by the land and its people include salination of water, challenges of relocation in fast-disappearing island communities, and climate migration – all being results of colonial policies of land degradation.

Religious Studies intersects with every aspect of our lives: political, spiritual, pastoral, creative, performative, and relational. The study of religious life, thought, and practice touches upon our identities, responsibilities, and cultures.

This seminar invites submissions that explore intentional illegibilites deployed in literary and visual forms in the African diasporas of the Atlantic and Indian Ocean worlds. Despite their intertwined histories of slavery and colonialism, these regions have typically been understood as hermetically sealed off from one another in the humanities. The fields of literary studies and visual culture, however, illustrate how racialized subjects across these aqueous geographies have relied on shared strategies of opacity and obfuscation, leveraging forms such as the photograph and the novel whose histories and development were imbricated in colonial processes.

This roundtable invites proposals that explore the intersection of visual, aural, and verbal frontiers. Although ekphrasis and musical form mirror words, they directly affect the emotions at a primordial level not available to verbal articulation. Ekphrasis translates words into visual images, whereas musical form translates them into sounds and rhythms. What are the differences between these modes of expression and how they affect their audiences?
This roundtable is part of NeMLA's 56th annual convention, to be held in Philadelphia, PA, March 3-6, 2025. To submit propoosals, follow these steps.
