All bodies are, in some sense; engines driven by the health or disease of their owners, jackets of flesh that are the physical sum of their wearers. But to become your disease? To become the consumption itself? (Kathe Koja, The Cipher)

That's how the madness of the world tries to colonize you: from the outside in, forcing you to live inits reality. (Jeff VanderMeer, Annihilation)

Japanese Video Games and Critiques of the Western Aesthetic Tradition

Nintendo was founded just three years after the beginning of the Meiji era in 1889; 100 years later, the company dominated the global game market, having rescued the U.S. video game market in the wake of the 1983 crash. Considering Japanese cultural identity as isolated from a global context misunderstands a long history of active construction of that identity as global and globalizing. Yet, Video Game Studies has often come from a decidedly Euro-centric perspective that regularly frames Japan as an isolated monoculture rather than acknowledging the global existence of Japan and its cultural products.

Call for Papers for the inaugural event of CHASE's newly established Refugee Justice Network for a Borderless World: Borders proliferate and refugeehood expands at the present time. Borders follow us everywhere, they are not just physical; they are as much digital, institutional, social,  imaginative. Bordering methods that exert their force on human lives and experiences by ordering statehood, stagnation and citizenship regimes have for long been in discussion. However, the nuances and challenges of the problem are yet to be re-evaluated and re-thought. While discussions of certain geographical areas and lives affected by borders have been in the spotlight, many remained unanalysed and, as a result, invisible.

Cultural Circulations, Global Mobilities, and Knowledge Translations: Turning Points in the Nineteenth Century

The nineteenth century witnessed an unprecedented acceleration and densification of human movements that generated, perhaps for the first time, cultural circulations on a global scale. With the world more interconnected than it had ever been, the need to classify, translate and hierarchise knowledge became more pressing than ever.

ASALH Conference Panel - Death and Grief Among Black Communities

updated: 
Sunday, February 9, 2025 - 12:37pm
Robin Brooks
deadline for submissions: 
Friday, March 7, 2025

The proposed panel dovetails with this year’s conference theme for ASALH "African American labor." While it is true that “Black labor has been central to political, economic, social, cultural, and technological transformations,” the hardships of that labor and the intricacies of Black lived experiences have also led to all types of death. As people of African descent continue to be accosted on multiple fronts, examining both our historical and present-day experiences around the subject of death is an undertaking worth engaging. In recent years, conversations about the uncomfortable subject of death were facilitated by the pandemic, and several studies have documented the disproportionate mortality rate from COVID-19 for Black people in the United States.
