Bad Bodies: Materiality and Performativity in the Medieval Mediterranean

Organizers: Catherine Bloomer and Anna Dini

PopCRN (the Popular Culture Network) will be holding a free virtual symposium exploring the 1950s in popular culture. Held online on Thursday 28th and Friday 29th of March 2025.

The 1950s was the decade where the world began to recover from the tragedy of the Second World War. This conference aims to explore both the popular culture of the 1950s, and how the 1950s have been depicted in the popular culture of other eras.

Language, Literature, and Interdisciplinary Studies (LLIDS), an open-access peer-reviewed academic e-journal, invites original and unpublished research papers and book reviews from various interrelated disciplines including, but not limited to, literature, philosophy, psychology, anthropology, history, sociology, law, ecology, environmental science, and economics.

Shakespeare first travelled to the Korean peninsula at the turn of the twentieth century and has since enjoyed enduring popularity in classrooms, on the stage, and far beyond. The playwright's work has provided and continues to provide fertile ground for performance, from direct Korean-language stagings to hybrid productions which marry the Shakespearean text to Korean cultural forms such as operatic changgeuk and the traditional musical storytelling medium of pansori. Our proposed collection of essays, Hanguk Shakespeare: Korean Receptions and Transformations, aims to explore the rich tradition of Shakespeare in Korea from the turn of the twentieth century to the present day in all its various forms and manifestations.

“Creative Approaches to Epistemic Violence”

The art of calligraphy, with its elegance, precision and expressive power holds a celebrated place among the arts of China, Japan and the Middle East, and is much studied as a result. Western calligraphy using the Roman-script, by contrast, is relatively neglected within academia.

However, given current interest in both drawing research and grapho-linguistics – the study of writing systems – the time is ripe to explore the fascinating intersection of visual art and written language with a scholarly volume on Western calligraphy studies, broadly defined.

“Revolutions are the locomotives of history,” wrote Marx 175 years ago in The Class Struggles in France, where the working and peasant classes were struggling against the capitalist system. Today, not only have the conditions of human beings failed to improve, but the rise of neo-capitalism and its imperial power has led to the rebirth of slavery in countries such as Congo and Libya, the complete destruction of third-world nations like Palasteine and Haiti by neocolonialism, and the further isolation of the working class across the globe.

Greetings.

As the editor of the digital edition of the Encyclopedia of Hispanic-American Literature (Facts on File), I'm inviting scholars to contribute essays of approximately 1500-2000 words on one of the authors listed below. The digital edition has been contracted with Facts on File and is a peer-reviewed volume scheduled to be published in 2025. Much of the volume is completed, with a few outstanding biographies that need to be assigned.
