deadline for submissions: 
Friday, January 26, 2024

In a world marked by fluctuating borders, diverse identities, and global interconnectedness, the concepts of hospitality and hostility present complex meanings and challenges. This conference invites scholars and researchers to explore the diverse manifestations of hospitality and hostility across linguistics, literature, culture, social sciences, and political discourse. From acts of welcoming to experiences of exclusion, from cultural exchange to conflict, this theme highlights the delicate balance between openness and resistance, friendship and enmity, inclusion and exclusion.

[ACCUTE 2025 - Extended Deadline] Beyond Trauma (Studies)?

updated: 
Monday, December 2, 2024 - 5:18am
Association of Canadian College and University Teachers of English
deadline for submissions: 
Friday, November 29, 2024

This panel aims to provoke discussion of “trauma” and the critical paradigm that has grown up around it in our time. Especially since the publication of Cathy Caruth’s Unclaimed Experience in 1996, “the traumatic” has grown from a specialist analytic discourse to a catch-all framework that informs how we talk about everything from politics, to art, to personal relationships. In short, the concept of trauma today enjoys a culturally dominant status. In recent years, however, the narrative trope of trauma has served as a target for critics increasingly frustrated with its seeming omnipresence.

STS 2025: Textual Remediations University of Pennsylvania
May 28-30, 2025

It has been a quarter of a century since Jay David Bolter and Richard Grusin released Remediation: Understanding New Media. In it, they introduced the term “remediation” as a way of naming the friction generated by material forms as they shape content. Although remediation was originally conceived as “a defining characteristic of new digital media,” the term’s influence has been felt not only in digital studies but across a network of related fields, from book history and textual scholarship to media history and digital humanities.

Irresistible Decay: Discourses of Death in Life from the 18th Century to Today

updated: 
Saturday, November 30, 2024 - 6:43am
Airelle Amédro; Enrica Leydi - University of Warwick
deadline for submissions: 
Sunday, December 1, 2024
  • Conference date and location: 07 March 2025 at the University of Warwick  
  • Confirmed keynote speakers:Professor Corinna Wagner (University of Exeter) and Professor Sarah Lamble (Birkbeck, University of London)

According to Julia Kristeva, decay is a ‘privileged site of mingling, of the contamination of life by death, of begetting and ending’ (1982). As a cyclic organic process where life and death inexorably meet, decay is an irresistible metaphor in social, artistic, medical, and political investigations. Since the 18th century, its malleable imagery has lent itself to both the most emancipatory and the most oppressive ideas.

Mapping Body Space Continuum in Urbanscapes

deadline for submissions: 
Wednesday, January 15, 2025

Space is not defined objectively, but in relation to bodies, as it is a manifestation of their needs, intentions, and desires. It is not a container in which objects exist but is intertwined with the body’s orientation in the world and its movements within the space. Human body, therefore, is at the centre of all spaces, which are more than a geometrical concept in abstraction. Individual bodies apprehend and appropriate space differently and give meaning to embedded systems and institutions through established and evolving associations. Any assumption of personalised space, whether private or public, is embedded with historical, cultural, and social meanings which help curate embodied experiences.
