We would like to invite researchers to submit their abstracts to the Political Performances Working Group at the 2023 IFTR conference, which will take place in Accra, Ghana, 24 to 28 July 2023.

In line with the established practice of the Political Performances Working Group @ IFTR, we have identified three loose strands that reflect the recent work of scholars in the wider field of political performances, but also align with the 2023 conference theme:

The Stories We Tell: Myths, Myth Making and Performance

The Political Performances Working Group therefore invites proposals for papers on the following topics:

One-day conference, in-person, June 9 2023.

Institute for Modern and Contemporary Culture, University of Westminster, 309 Regent Street, London W1B 2HW.

Organizers: Natalia Khomenko (York University, Canada) khomenko@yorku.ca, Viktoria Marinesko (Classic Private University, Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine) vmarinesko@gmail.com, Ronan Paterson (Teesside University, UK) ronanpaterson@googlemail.com

Living as we do in the age of technology, we have witnessed the internet, social media, and smart devices penetrate every sphere of human activity. Technology provides  powerful tools to conduct research on a scale hitherto unimaginable: for the first time in history, scholars from the stream of humanities are facing the problem of data abundance rather than scarcity (Rosenzweig, 2003). New methods and tools are evolving everyday to analyse Big Data. New formats of presenting and disseminating research have also become available, of which pre-print archiving and open access projects are only some of the most common examples.

ABOUT CONFERENCE: 

BSECS Postgraduate and Early Career Researcher Conference

University of Edinburgh

Errantry, Exile and Elsewhere

We invite proposals for papers for the British Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies’ Postgraduate and Early Career Researcher Conference 2023.

It has been decades since linguistics began to transcend beyond the study of structure. Linguistics has departed from the confines of phonetics and phonology (the study of linguistic sounds), morphology (the study of word formation), syntax (the study of the structure of phrases, clauses, and sentences), and semantics (the study of meanings). Countless studies have been undertaken involving linguistics and other related disciplines.

We are pleased to announce that the 2023 Association of Adaptation Studies Conference is taking place at the University of Birmingham. Please see below for the call for papers, and check back for more details of the conference as we get closer to the event.
