Concept Note

In recent decades, the term Global South has come to signify the distinctions between the industrialised nations of the “North” and the comparatively less developed nations of the “South.” The Global North-South designation, however, is not strictly geographical but instead reflects various geopolitical, economic, and ecological commonalities between countries.

New Perspectives on Creature Features

The workshop aims to bring together researchers, practitioners, and domain experts to exchange knowledge, address challenges, and outline future directions for developing explainable, interpretable, and transparent AI systems. It focuses on advancing Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) by incorporating knowledge and semantics as core components. Contributions will address “demystifying the black-box” nature of AI and tailoring explanations to diverse user expertise levels, supporting equitable and fair decision-making for long-term sustainability. The workshop seeks to overcome the challenges of embedding semantic abstractions into intelligent information systems.

The concept of subalternity, rooted in Antonio Gramsci’s theoretical framework and later expanded in postcolonial studies by thinkers like Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, has been central to understanding the dynamics of power, representation, and marginalization. Subalternity refers to those groups and individuals excluded from hegemonic structures of power, whose voices are systematically silenced by dominant discourses. In contemporary literature, the subaltern is no more a passive subject of marginalization but an active agent of resistance, contestation, and self-articulation. Contemporary literature has become a critical space for the articulation of subaltern experiences, foregrounding the voices of those who have historically been denied agency.

The (post)memory working group provides a platform to the scholars of memory studies to engage with the thematic and theoretical interventions in (post)memory studies. It also offers an opportunity to the scholars to embrace the complexity of (post)memory; navigate the intersections of identity; and explore the nuances of belonging in a world marked by division. The group invites the scholars to examine the ways (post)memory reflects the analogical nature of memory in postmodern world that triangulates the dominant forms including prosthetic, polyphonic and transcultural memories by revisiting the reconstruction of violence, identity, and cultural displacement.

Image, Imagination, Communication: Exploring the Ethical as Natural or Artificial, Real or Surreal 

May 28-30, 2025
Duquesne University

A conference reverberates. Sometimes as an echo chamber, things recapitulated. But a conference is also an unruly density—a format for waves of circulation, a temporary structuring of materials and hunches, nerves and notebooks, modes of listening or distraction. A conference is an ordinary nesting of interiors that shapes how thought resonates (the ways we transduce and echo each other, how an idea resounds or fails). STS is attentive to matters of knowledge work in labs and fieldsites: objects, networks, technics. But sometimes it forgets the mundane, the felt, what is improvised or patched together in scenes of knowing. After all, a panel is a fifteen-minute interval that consolidates and performs all the hard work of living that precedes.
