ACLA 2025 Seminar: Working with Tainted Legacies

updated: 
Monday, September 16, 2024 - 1:33pm
American Comparative Literature Association
deadline for submissions: 
Monday, October 14, 2024

Weeks after the death of Nobel Prize-winning author Alice Munro this year, her daughter Andrea Skinner disclosed the longstanding sexual abuse she'd suffered as a child at the hands of her stepfather, Munro’s husband, Gerald Fremlin—abuse about which Munro had known and stayed silent. The disclosure is but the latest revelation to throw into question the legacy of a revered cultural icon. Neil Gaiman, Louis CK, Jean Vanier, and Avital Ronell are only a few public figures to be reassessed in recent years in the wake of accounts of sexual abuse.

What is an Internet-based conference without addressing the Internet’s favorite topic: cats!? This panel seeks papers interested in exploring eighteenth-century cats in their many facets and figurations. Cats abound during this period: from big cats in the natural histories, moralizing cats in fables and children’s stories, mysterious and symbolic cats in the art of Fragonard or Chardin, to real-life cats in the lives of Samuel Johnson or Horace Walpole.

2025 ACLA Conference - CFP: Seminar "The Flow of Performing Arts Between Periphery and Center: Tensions and Potentialities"

updated: 
Sunday, September 15, 2024 - 3:16am
American Comparative Literature Association (2025 Virtual Meeting)
deadline for submissions: 
Monday, October 14, 2024

In 1931, Antonin Artaud envisioned a radically innovative form of theatre after witnessing a performance by a Balinese troupe at the Colonial Exposition in Paris. While this event is widely acknowledged among arts and humanities scholars, its specific details – such as the precise content of the performance and the identities of the performers – are overlooked, thus exemplifying the ambivalent nature of the circulation of performing arts from colonized and/ or marginalized regions. Throughout history, how have conflicting global power structures and unequal socio-political conditions shaped the flow, interpretation, and reception of works, artists, aesthetics and practices from the so-called peripheries in Europe and the United States?

CFP 35th LSU Mardi Gras Conference - Spectral Landscapes: Hauntology in Place and Space

Lousiana State University | February 26-28, 2025 | Hybrid Format

It was haunted; but real hauntings have nothing to do with ghosts finally; they have to do with the menace of memory.—Anne Rice

Leeds IMC 2025 Call for Papers (Hybrid) - Learning, Knowledge and Awareness

updated: 
Thursday, September 12, 2024 - 10:58am
CERÆ: AN AUSTRALASIAN JOURNAL OF MEDIEVAL AND EARLY MODERN STUDIES
deadline for submissions: 
Friday, September 27, 2024

In an ideal situation, learning leads to knowledge and knowledge raises awareness. Set within the context of the past, this simple statement leads us to consider a range of different questions. How did medieval and early modern people learn and what did they learn? How did they teach and what did they teach? Who was taught and who was not? Who decided what was to be taught? Such questions, among others, help us understand the process of how learning and knowledge was acquired in the premodern world. But it also helps us better appreciate what we know about the premodern world and what people were trying to achieve when they set out to gain knowledge about their world and the society they lived in.

updated: 
Saturday, September 7, 2024 - 3:57am
American Society for Eighteenth Century Studies
deadline for submissions: 
Friday, September 20, 2024

This panel addresses the emerging diasporic consciousness that accompanied the movement of people and changes in ecologies in the eighteenth century. Extending last year’s two-part roundtable “Eighteenth Century in Motion” to the question of Diaspora, participants are invited to consider questions including but not limited to:

While the ‘diasporic eighteenth century’ offers proliferating instances of movement, what are some ways to simultaneously consider communities and people subjected to increased physical, discursive, and representational confinement?

What are some circumatlantic relations that the diasporic eighteenth century allows us to consider?

4th Annual Humanities Podcast Network Symposium

updated: 
Saturday, September 7, 2024 - 3:57am
Humanities Podcast Network Symposium
deadline for submissions: 
Monday, September 23, 2024

For our fourth iteration of the HPN Symposium, we find ourselves interrogating, engaging with, and pushing the boundaries of the concept of  “best practices” and how it relates to humanities podcasting. Our initial inquiry was born out of a discussion about the need to counteract worker invisibility and exploitation on university campus podcast teams. But this raised a larger, thornier debate: Are there other agreed-upon principles of podcast-making and audio creation?  If so, have they emanated from particular forebears and models, or sprung up out of habitual creation like unwritten, but widely understood, common laws? Are there contexts peculiar to podcasting that deserve their own careful ethical treatment or understanding?

The Politics of Weird and the Weirdness of Politics

Online Conference

November 2, 2024

           The vibe shift among the Democratic base since President Biden announced he would not seek reelection has been remarkable: apathy and anxiety have morphed into enthusiasm and a newfound pugnacious spirit. Stumping for Vice-President Kamala Harris, Minnesota governor Tim Walz, Harris’ vice-presidential pick, launched the verbal missile which has revitalized the campaign’s messaging and sought to define Republicans in succinct, yet devastating terms: they’re weird.

Call for Proposals for Online Symposium: Crude Representations: BP and the Cultural Imagination of Oil

Online Symposium Friday 24th January 2025

Keynote Speaker: Mona Damluji, Assistant Professor of Film & Media Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara

 

Oil is a cultural as well as material product. It is now pervasive in every aspect of modern life: transport, energy, communications and media, pharmaceuticals, farming, food ingredients and packaging, homes. As many scholars in the energy and environmental humanities have demonstrated, to understand our current dependence on oil and enact decarbonisation we need to contend with its cultural dimensions.
