This panel explores the movement and circulation of texts within multilingual contact zones, spaces that, through cultural exchange, commerce, and conflict, are defined by the presence of multiple languages. Multilingualism is often heralded as a feature of cosmopolitanism, defined against nationalist monolingualism, yet it can also be the product of forces including incipient capitalist mercantilism, imperialist conquest and colonization, and exile.

Thursday, April 10, 2025 - 12:09pm

deadline for submissions: 
Thursday, May 15, 2025

In all medical practices, two goals stand out: to cure and to care. In a vernacular context, care is discursive, relational, and mutual, while cure is linear, utilitarian, and quantifiable. In his book Care and Cure: An Introduction to the Philosophy of Medicine, Jacob Stegenga iterates on two sides of the care-cure conundrum: “[...] when an intervention mitigates harm then it provides some care, and when an intervention mitigates abnormal biological functioning
then it goes some way toward cure.”

Session Format: Seminar

This session invites scholars to bring Chaucer and the Lancastrian poets in

conversation with the latest criticism and theoretical underpinnings in

relation to queer and trans studies of the last few years. Particularly, using

time as a teleological field to measure queer and trans experience,

embodiment, and memoir. Chaucerian and medieval studies have been33

responsible for groundbreaking work over the years on pre-modern

conceptions of gender and sexuality. However, those fields are also

responsible for the perpetuation of cisgender/cissexual centred optics that

have continued to influence the reception of texts like The Canterbury

CFP:​

Affects, emotions and perceptions have always been at the center of philosophical discussion. Yet the so-called “Affective turn” in social studies and humanities is a relatively new phenomenon inspired by Deleuze and Guattari´s influential works among others. Affective turn challenges the still dominant representational approach in semiotics, discourse analysis and text analyses of all kinds.
