The inconclusive debates, the conflict of opinion, that this seminar aims to initiate and proliferate are about how body, culture, and plurality – three expansive and yet profound concepts – constellate, collapse and collide in varying registers that are both founded and unpredictable. The frames of our studies across disciplines are left in motion; the figures of understanding about how culture and the body and the bodies of culture in relation to plurality struggle to stay entrenched, occupy and distract us.

"There is not one but many silences, and they are an integral part of the strategies that underlie and permeate discourses." —Michel Foucault, The History of Sexuality
"The fact that we are here and that I speak not these words is an attempt to break that silence and bridge some of those differences between us, for it is not difference which immbolizes us, but silence. And there are so many silences to be broken." —Audre Lorde, "The Transformation of Silence into Language and Action."

Conference Dates: March 6-8, 2026, Tucson, AZ, USA
“It is easier to imagine the end of the world than it is to imagine the end of capitalism” (Mark Fisher)
“But the plot too has its own history” (Wynter 101)
What is it we have in mind when we imagine the end of the world or the end of capitalism?
Is it the temporal–the closing, conclusion, finale, the end of capitalism’s historical epoch?

EGSA ANNUAL CONFERENCE (2026): GRIEF IN CONVERSATION
We are living in a rapidly changing world. For the last many decades, the contemporary world has been undergoing fundamental shifts and transformations in the social structures, systems, organisations, institutions, values, norms, and functions of a society. These social changes are often driven by technological breakthroughs, the penetration of social media, economic globalisation, ecological crises, war, disease, disorder, and so on, along with shifts in cultural and social paradigms.

MARIA DE JESUS RELVAS (Universidade Aberta, Portugal)
Drama and theatre have long served as dynamic mediums through which societies narrate their myths, record their histories, and preserve traditions. The interplay of myth, history, and tradition shapes the content and form of dramatic expression, influencing storytelling techniques, character archetypes, and performance styles across different cultures and time periods.

Graduate Students in English Interdisciplinary Conference 2026
Call for Papers on the Theme: “Transformation”
University of Arkansas at Fayetteville – March 14-15, 2026
The Graduate Students in English at University of Arkansas in Fayetteville invite proposals on the theme “Transformation,” a topic as broad as the literary and academic canons themselves. As we bear witness to changes in higher education landscapes across disciplines, we might consider how our own perceptions have evolved, what has been reliable in scholarship historically, and what needs to adapt.
The Medievalism in Popular Culture Area (including Early to Later Middle Ages, Robin Hood, Arthurian Legend, Chaucer, Norse, and other materials connected to medieval studies) accepts papers on all topics that explore either popular culture during the Middle Ages or transcribe some aspect of the Middle Ages into the popular culture of later periods. These representations can occur in any genre, including film, television, novels, graphic novels, gaming, advertising, art, etc. For this year’s conference, I would like to encourage submissions on some of the following topics:
Today, all countries that were colonized by France have gained their independence, yet discussions about its legacy continue. Many films, documentaries, literary works, speeches, and critical writings contribute to the ongoing conversation about liberty and justice in relation to independence. A 2024 documentary produced by Wandrille Lanos, titled Haïti, la rançon de l'indépendance, explores how liberty and justice were interpreted during Haiti’s struggle for independence. From September 22 to 26, 2025, during the United Nations General Debate at the 80th Session, the current president of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama, argued that colonization should be recognized as one of the greatest crimes against humanity.
