Untangling Bioethical Dilemmas: Narrative Ethics and Bodily Rights

In the recent past, the study of ethics has diversified into emerging branches with interdisciplinary areas of studies. While such studies require specialization in different disciplines, they also demand application of theoretical and empirical knowledge. In a quest to broaden the understanding of ethics to its sub- field of bioethics, this book proposal seeks to collate works that center on narrative ethics within the discourse of bioethics.

New Feminisms, Politics, and Pop Culture: An Intertextual Anthology This edited collection is interested in the intersections of feminism, American politics, and popular culture. Right now, as feminism in general is forced to shift back to a focus on reproductive rights, the fourth wave is being splintered into those prioritizing this issue and those still focused on empowerment, intersectionality, and other issues original to the fourth wave. As more and more strains of feminism emerge, how might we understand their origins and place them in conversation with each other? Is feminism finally intersectional? If not, how do we get there?

Land of the Free, Home of the Brave?: American Children’s Literature in an Era of Heightened Censorship

In a country advocating, loudly, the rights of the individual, what about child readers? Are they granted an expansive vision of their world? What rights do children have where books are concerned?

‘A Rebel with a Cause’: The Real Subversive Potential of Transgressive Fiction

“In olden days a glimpse of stocking / Was looked on as something shocking. / Now, heaven knows, Anything goes.” This epigraph begins Chris Jenks’ 2003 work Transgression, exemplifying the sense in which acts of transgression can have real, tangible, palpable effects on society. Jenks defines “transgression” as violating, infringing upon, or going beyond the limits set by a boundary or convention (2). Transgressive fiction, then, is the genre of literature that depicts various acts of boundary-crossing in order to analyze and criticize them for the purpose of reflecting upon the ideological constructions that its characters react against or wholly reject.

Organizer: Shane Carreon

Situated at the locus of power relations in and through language, translators and language teachers are entwined by and within complex ideologies, epistemologies, and governing policies. In particular, their identity construction, personal stance, and mediations continually reproduce, redefine, and/or resist in varying ways the hegemony of the English language both as legacy of British and American colonialism and as prime language of globalization.

ASLE 2025: Latine Ecologies of Migration: Displacement and Environmental Resistance

updated: 
Saturday, October 12, 2024 - 4:02am
Brian Rivera / University of California, Santa Cruz
deadline for submissions: 
Sunday, December 1, 2024

This panel seeks to explore how Latin American and Latine writers, filmmakers, and artists depict natural elements—such as water, air, landscapes, and weather—as active forces that shape and mediate human emotions, identity, and survival. Through an environmental humanities lens, we will examine how these works go beyond symbolic uses of nature to show how ecological crises become part of the migrant experience. In many Latine / Latin American narratives, migration is influenced not only by social and political pressures but also by environmental changes like drought, floods, deforestation, or pollution. The environment is not just a setting, but a participant in the story, embodying the intimate connections between human and non-human worlds.
