The CreArte hybrid conference seeks submission of proposals for papers, panels (3-4 papers), roundtables, workshops, and performances. We invite proposals from artists, educators, academics, and public scholars who examine various forms of Latino/a/e/x artistic expression, including but not limited to film, literature, music, visual arts, and dance, and how these artistic expressions have impacted the direction of society, broadly. Our hybrid conference is held in association with the CreArte Expo Latino Cultural Festival, a weekend-long celebration where attendees immerse themselves in Latino/a/e/x culture through literature, film, music, dance, cosplay, dance, comics and much more.
Veiling obscures, but also reveals. It holds symbolic and aesthetic power that spans centuries, from the medieval and Victorian periods to contemporary expressions in visual, fashion, and social media culture. Further, it frames visibility itself and shapes how identity is hidden, controlled, surveilled, or disclosed. To veil is not only to conceal, but to shape what others are allowed to see and what they are left to imagine. Veiling shrouds, but also frames; withholds, but also invites interpretation. These tensions give veiling its interpretive depth, sustaining its power to provoke, unsettle, and reframe.
This session explores how postcolonial and diasporic literatures grapple with memory, trauma, and cultural haunting. Rather than thinking of identity as fixed or linear, selfhood is complex and palimpsestic due to colonial violence, migration, and historical erasure. This session invites papers that analyze how characters or narratives navigate misremembering, inherited trauma, or overwritten histories to reclaim belonging and agency. Topics may include narrative voice, transgenerational memory, silence, storytelling, and archival gaps in multiethnic and immigrant literatures. This session welcomes interdisciplinary approaches and encourages work on Asian American, Black, Indigenous, and other diasporic communities.
The ninth annual Brandeis Novel Symposium (BNS), which will
take place on Friday October 17, 2025, invites proposals for
papers on Henry James’s novel The Bostonians (1886). The
Brandeis Novel Symposium is a one-day conference that
chooses a single novel as a point of focus for salient
theoretical, historical, political, and narratological
questions about the novel as a genre. (See the 2024 BNS
website and this archive for more information about the
BNS.)
