Yoobee College of Creative Innovation

Auckland City Campus, Auckland, New Zealand

The 2022-2023 Illinois Medieval Association annual Symposium will focus on medieval environments, with the
term environment being liberally defined. We are now accepting proposals for 20-minute presentations. Although
we will consider proposals on any aspect of medieval studies, priority will be given to those dealing with medieval
environments. This topic includes, but is not limited to, the non-human world, urban environments, cloistered
environments, cultural environments, and any topic that conforms in any way to the Oxford English Definition of
“The physical surroundings or conditions in which a person or other organism lives, develops, etc., or in which a

SOCIAL CHANGE AND GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE: 
REPRESENTATIONS IN CARIBBEAN LITERATURE AND PERFORMANCE CULTURES

Online Symposium, 22nd – 23rd September 2022

In Laudato Si', Pope Francis declared, "a great cultural, spiritual and educational challenge stands before us [...] Education in environmental responsibility can encourage ways of acting which directly and significantly affect the world around us [...] living our vocation to be protectors of God's handiwork" (2015: 202-217). Seven years later, educators continue to face this challenge of integrating faith and spirituality into teaching about the ecological crisis we face in the twenty-first century. How can we empower our young people to take action and become the ecological citizens of the future?

Resilience is the ability of the human mind and/or body to respond to adverse circumstances, tragedy, trauma, or any other intimidation to emotional and/or physical integrity and its impacts. It is an individual’s retort to any encroachment on one’s self, and establish self- legitimacy in a hostile environment. But is this power of resilience displayed with homogeneity or heterogeneity among and/or across culturally diverse and rich groups? As a context and culture-specific response, resilience is demonstrated in negotiation with factors, such as spatial, sociocultural, and political. Hence, its study is problematized when it is read as a homogeneous response to adversity by individuals from varied backgrounds.

In collaboration with the Ackerman Center for Holocaust Studies at the University of Texas at Dallas, the Global Center for Religious Research (GCRR) is proud to announce the 2022 International eConference on Holocaust Studies. The conference will bring together historians, specialists, and researchers from all over the world to discuss the need to preserve Holocaust memories.

The decreasing number of survivors and the steady rise of antisemitism are two main concerns of this multidisciplinary virtual conference. Scholars will explore the various forms and practices through which Holocaust memories are mediated, preserved, and safeguarded across different technologies as well as geographies.

LANGUAGE, LITERATURE, AND INDUSTRY

This is a Call for Papers for an online workshop titled Familiar Perpetrators: On the Intimacy of Evil in Contemporary American Literature and Popular Culture, which explores what happens when perpetrators become familiar figures, either because their representation is well-circulated in works of American literature and popular culture, in ways that make the audience feel intimately connected to them, or simply because they are represented either by themselves or by their own family members and friends.

Fictional persons and characters

International Online Workshop
October 12, 2022

It is tempting to think of fictional characters as if they were fictional persons. The inhabitants of a fictional world, where they live and engage in meaningful interactions as we do in the real world. However, this conception is problematic. First, because the concept of “person” is far from being clear. Are persons to be defined in physical or mental terms? And even if we restrict ourselves to a Lockean framework where persons are defined in mental terms, regardless of their physical features, could other entities besides human beings achieve full personhood?
