The UC Davis English Department is hosting its third annual student-led Connections conference under the wide-ranging theme of “Landscapes.” Organized by the English Graduate Student Association (EGSA), the Connections 2025 in-person conference examines the concept of landscape in its broadest sense—not only as a physical terrain but also as a cultural, social, political, and literary construct.

The “Collecting and Collectibles Area” of the Popular Culture Association invites papers on “AI in Collecting” for the National PCA/ACA Conference to be held April 16-19, 2025 in New Orleans, USA. We would especially like to encourage submissions that contribute new directions and calls to the existing scholarship on “AI in Collecting” and particularly address how collections/collectibles and their galleries/museums respond to the recent digital shifts and the tectonic evolution of AI technologies.

Possible topics for presentations include but are not limited to:

In the Humanities, notions of coloniality and postcoloniality are usually entangled with nation states that are, by nature, multilingual and multicultural. The societies of each of these nations are further stratified based on hierarchies of economic and social-political classifications. In other words, motivated and maintained by and through power and notions of telos, differences of race, sexuality, caste, and religion exist in differing ways. Literatures of these differences then occupy their space(s) under the larger category of ‘postcolonial literature(s)’.

Edgar Allan Poe worked for a double audience (the popular and the critical), in double tones and manners (grim and mocking, metaphysical and pseudo-scientific). Whether he strove for alternance or interdependence between the terms “grotesque” and “arabesque” which he used to categorize his own narratives, critics such as G. R. Thompson and Dennis Eddings have argued that the former – more visible in tales such as “King Pest,” “Some Words with a Mummy,” “Lionizing,” and “Loss of Breath” -  underscored the carnivalesque, the satirical, and the hoaxical.

What limits—aesthetic, geographical, social, political, ethical—does your work challenge, secure, or redraw? What spaces do you seek to preserve? What spaces need creating—and for whom?
