Mechanization and the Child

updated: 
Thursday, March 16, 2023 - 11:07pm
JOCPC: Journal of Children in Popular Culture
deadline for submissions: 
Thursday, August 31, 2023

JOCPC is now accepting article submissions for the Fall 2023 issue focusing on the broad theme of the mechanized child. We have kept the theme open-ended and invite works across a wide range of disciplines where researchers are exploring representations of the intersection between the child figure, childhood and mechanization. This may include robotics, automatons, cyborgs, AI, VR, and other emerging technologies, both historical and future forward, real and fictional, and how these are used by, to, on and for children. Born alongside new and emerging technologies, children have an innate fluency with new technologies that often leave their adult counterparts behind, reinforcing the notion of children as symbols of futurity.

Rereading Elden Ring

updated: 
Thursday, March 16, 2023 - 10:50pm
The University of Virginia Department of English Speakers’ Committee
deadline for submissions: 
Friday, April 7, 2023

With its massive world, open-ended quests, and near-limitless options for customization, Elden Ring––the most critically acclaimed video game of 2022––is designed to be replayed. But it is also a text that demands to be reread. Whether we study its environmental storytelling or the lore in item descriptions, the game’s fragmented narrative fuels exegeses that resemble the long history of Biblical interpretation, midcentury criticism of modernist enigmas like Ulysses, and hermeneutic fandoms surrounding popular culture like Twin Peaks. Its spatiotemporally disjunctive universe frustrates efforts to interpret its world “realistically” and prompts one to place it in dialogue with theories of unconventional space and time.

Wednesday, February 22, 2023 - 11:21am
MLA TC Digital Humanities Executive Forum
deadline for submissions: 
Tuesday, March 21, 2023

Publicly available text-generating engines like ChatGPT make large language models (LLMs) “writers” in their own right. How can we interpret the changing status of the writer in the age of machine learning? What does the success of AI-generated textuality ask us to reconsider, revisit, or reinvent in the context of literary theory and the digital humanities more generally?

 

This panel is a guaranteed panel, sponsored by the TC Digital Humanities executive forum for the 2024 MLA conference in Philadelphia (January 4-7).

Amazigh Orality in Contemporary Production

Amazigh Orality in Contemporary Production

 

Orality, that is, the culture of the spoken word, is a central feature of Amazigh everyday life, history, and linguistics, and communal knowledge. Indeed, although Imazighen have one of the oldest writing systems in North Africa, known as Tifinagh, the latter is not associated with a body of written literature, an Amazigh literary canon. On the other hand, the Amazigh peoples have an extensive and rich oral literature that includes poetry, myths, fables, songs, proverbs, sacred rituals, and tales, which are excluded from a simple textualist notion of culture and communal identity.

Digital technology and internet access have expanded the ways of making meaning and of building and accessing audiences across the globe. Though unevenly available to refugees (UNHCR, Space and imagination: rethinking refugees’ digital access, 2020), digital technology has nonetheless offered previously unknown platforms for refugees to speak directly to global audiences.

updated: 
Thursday, February 2, 2023 - 3:44pm
Sapientia Hungarian University of Transylvania, Cluj, Romania
deadline for submissions: 
Monday, July 10, 2023

Our conference aims to encourage studies that explore an emerging paradigm in intermediality studies centred on "affective intermediality", and we hope to initiate a friendly, scholarly debate regarding the relevance and productivity of this approach. The necessity of such an “affective turn” of intermediality studies arises from viewing intermediality as an intricate and highly performative process of communication between humans within a particular context of material reality and historical time, not just as a “transfer”, a “combination” or “reference” of media characteristics or representations, i.e.
