124 – MUSLIM COUNTERPUBLICS IN THE INDIAN NATION-STATE PUBLIC SPHERE

updated: 
Friday, November 8, 2024 - 4:31am
ECSAS Heidelberg 2025
deadline for submissions: 
Thursday, January 30, 2025

We welcome papers for our ECSAS panel on Muslim Counterpublics in the Indian Nation-state Public Sphere which will bring together emerging and advanced scholars of Muslim identity in South Asia in the context of the nation-state public sphere. We wish to explore the deep history and contemporary imaginings of Muslimness from the vantage point of songs, music and sound, literary studies, history, anthropology, dastangoi, oral historiography, and cinema. We aim to shed light on the multiperspectival and pan-national Muslim identification process as it also intersects with ideas of ideological homogenisation, modernity, and religious revivalism.

Minority Identities and Vernacular Visual Culture. Interdisciplinary symposium

updated: 
Friday, November 8, 2024 - 4:28am
University of Chicago
deadline for submissions: 
Tuesday, December 10, 2024

Minority groups are often underrepresented in official archives, which has resulted in their continuing marginalization in historiography. Critical archive scholars argue for empowering such groups by developing and investigating archival collections. This symposium intends to expand this approach by demonstrating how the visual practices of underrepresented groups can be studied through underutilized data sources. To this end, the symposium will focus on indigenous, black, and diaspora communities seen through their visual production, with the presumption that the vernacular representations of everyday life can provide substantial insights into evolving minority identities.

If you find Hamlet difficult, ask him to tea. He is a highbrow. Ask Ophelia to meet him. She is a lowbrow. Talk to them, as you talk to me, and you will know more about Shakespeare than all the middlebrows in the world can teach you.

Teaching the Arthurian Tradition(s)

updated: 
Tuesday, November 5, 2024 - 10:37am
Illinois Medieval Association
deadline for submissions: 
Sunday, December 1, 2024

Deadline for Proposals: December 1

Session: 2:00 pm (Central) January 17, online via Zoom

The Arthurian Tradition(s) is often most students’ first and only exposure to the Middle Ages. Exposure often comes from films that students have seen: Fuqua’s King Arthur (2004), Ritchie’s King Arthur: Legend of the Sword (2017), and Lowery’s Green Knight (2021). What students learn from a course or unit on the Arthurian Tradition(s) is often very different from filmed depictions. This session seeks papers that explore issues, opportunities, and innovations in teaching the Arthurian Traditions(s). We welcome all aspects of teaching Arthuriana.

Conservative Camp

Edited by Darin DeWitt and Nicole Seymour

We invite contributions for an edited volume titled Conservative Camp, on which we are working with the University of Minnesota Press’ Humanities Editor Leah Pennywark. This volume seeks to explain how camp aesthetics, long associated with the progressive Left and with queer communities in particular, have recently been appropriated by conservative movements, particularly by homophobic and transphobic figures on the Right.

Contagions and Non-Human Animals: (Re)Viewing Disregarded Species in Real and Imagined Pandemics

The impact of the pandemic and the threat that it poses to future human experiences has been well-documented. However, now that non-human animals are possible carriers and becoming infected, their experiences, while often overlooked, are nevertheless integrated into the worldwide pandemic.

Thus, this collection seeks to balance essays about non-human animals during real-world pandemics, such as the COVID-19 one, with those of their experiences during literary or cinematic ones. The scope of this call for papers is broad and can include topics such as:

--Animals as victims of contagions
