After Postcolonialism: Global Theory, Local Transformations

updated:

*This is a hybrid interdisciplinary conference funded by the Humanities Research Centre at the University of Warwick, accompanied by potential publication opportunities.*

 

In A Dying Colonialism (1959), Frantz Fanon, one of the most significant thinkers on decolonisation, writes firmly:

‘There is not occupation of territory, on the one hand, and independence of persons on the other. It is the country as a whole, its history, its daily pulsation that are contested, disfigured, in the hope of a final destruction’ (p. 65).

Terrifier 2025

updated: 
Sunday, October 20, 2024 - 1:07pm
University of Warwick
deadline for submissions: 
Monday, January 13, 2025

Terrifier 3 (in cinemas at the time of sharing this call) has defied all expectations, attracting widespread commercial and critical success, and becoming the number one film in the USA. Since the creation of Art the Clown in the short film The 9th Circle in 2008, the Terrifier franchise has gone from strength to strength, challenging some of the fundamental assumptions underpinning Hollywood filmmaking over this period. Damien Leone’s films, boasting low budgets, a grindhouse aesthetic and an impressive level of envelope-pushing gore (bolstered explicitly by practical effects), have turned Art and Sienna into modern horror icons and continued to unashamedly appeal to genre fans.

ACLA Virtual Conference 2025: Ghost Figures in World Literature

updated: 
Wednesday, October 9, 2024 - 8:23am
American Comparative Literature Association (ACLA)
deadline for submissions: 
Monday, October 14, 2024

A ghost, Avery Gordon writes, “has a real presence and demands its due, your attention” (2008, Ghostly Matters). To answer this demand, our seminar invites submissions that turn their attention to literary and artistic ghosts. After all, ghosts are profoundly literary figures; like poetics, they are defined by their repetitions and returns, and constantly referring to something else, though failing to fully represent it. However, ghosts are not any literary figures. They are haunting, and although they have a strong presence they come into life in place of something absent. Moreover, in their haunting presence, they are signalling “repressed or unresolved social violence” (Gordon, 2008).

 

Infrastructure(s) & Storytelling: Rethinking Contexts, Connections, & Erasures [ACLA 2025; virtual; May 29–June 1, 2025]

Infrastructures, both visible and invisible, are all around us and they permeate our lives in various ways. Larkin defines infrastructures as “built networks that facilitate the flow of goods, people, or ideas and allow for their exchange over space” (327). Though most commonly associated with its physical manifestations, the term infrastructurealso encompasses intangible elements that play a crucial role in society. Thus, infrastructures are not merely "limited to pipes, roads, and wires" but should, instead, be understood as “interdependent networks of materials, people, and nature that enable the functioning of modern life” (Lockrem 529).

The pandemic years have shown us that writing instruction needs to become more inclusive, more robust, and more compassionate. However, it has also challenged us to find new and innovative ways to maintain student engagement, foster participation, and address declining student attendance, among other concerns.

ACLA Virtual Conference 2025: Illegibility and Aesthetic Form in the African Diasporas of the Indian and Atlantic Oceans

Saturday, September 21, 2024 - 2:00am

deadline for submissions: 
Monday, October 14, 2024

This seminar invites submissions that explore intentional illegibilites deployed in literary and visual forms in the African diasporas of the Atlantic and Indian Ocean worlds. Despite their intertwined histories of slavery and colonialism, these regions have typically been understood as hermetically sealed off from one another in the humanities. The fields of literary studies and visual culture, however, illustrate how racialized subjects across these aqueous geographies have relied on shared strategies of opacity and obfuscation, leveraging forms such as the photograph and the novel whose histories and development were imbricated in colonial processes.

ACLA Virtual Conference 2025 - Lost in Austin: Critical Inheritances of a Philosophical Maverick

updated: 
Thursday, September 19, 2024 - 7:06am
American Comparative Literature Association (ACLA)
deadline for submissions: 
Monday, October 14, 2024

We are proposing an ACLA Seminar to convene, for the first time, the interdisciplinary community of scholars working on or in the spirit of J.L. Austin (1911–1960). Though widely, albeit often begrudgingly, acknowledged as an important twentieth-century philosopher, Austin is unique among this rarified class of thinkers in several unfortunate ways: he is the progenitor of no noteworthy schools, there are no chaired positions named for him, and until recently there were no collections of essays about his work and even fewer conferences about his legacy. Yet, many scholars owe a debt to Austin, and there have been signs recently of a more pronounced reemergence of interest in him.
