Speculating Exile: Literary Estrangements and Fugitive Belongings
Exile is “the signature and permanent mark of the modern age,” M. Nourbese Philip wrote in 1992: “we cutting we teeth on exile— exile in the very air we breathing.” In this waning quarter of the 21st century, more than 281 million or 3.6% of the global population are migrants, a number that, by all accounts, will only rise. Displacement, whether due to economic instabilities, climate change, war, political oppression, or just the “maddest Joy” of desire, alters not only those it subjectifies, but the conditions of belonging that inform their trajectories.

“Rewriting and Resisting Response” (RRR)
April 2024
Call for Papers
Note: The Journal of Global South Studies (University of Florida Press) has shown interest in publishing this special issue
Concept Note
Vernon Press invites book chapter proposals for the forthcoming edited volume “Mary Shelley’s The Last Man and Global Issues”, edited by Reyam Rammahi.
Many of the theoretical fundamentals developed for literary and cultural studies throughout the twentieth century have become less efficacious. In recent decades, scholars have, indeed, investigated the transformations of storytelling and cultural consumption in the digital age. However, this issue looks to further explore the future of literary and cultural studies from a world-systems perspective with a focus on the alterations of novelistic narratives in the larger context of the supplanting of liberal, humanistic, sense-making mechanisms by computational regimes of meaning.
The academic journal, Textures, plans to publish a special issue in hauntology. This project aims at collecting articles in literature and/or history that reflect the multicultural and multilingual approach of the Foreign Literatures and Civilisations (LCE) Research Laboratory at Lumière Lyon 2 University.

The Foreign Literatures and Civilisations (LCE) Research Laboratory at Lumière Lyon 2 University organises a conference on “Phantoms in Rites, Myths, and Discourse” on February 13-14, 2025. For the purpose of this conference, we invite scholars from various disciplines belonging to human sciences, and from various geographical and cultural areas, to study the figure of the ghost under its variegated forms, appearances, and representations (whether they are anthropological, artistic, political, linguistic, or else), from ghosts that we ourselves fashion to ghosts who fashion who we are.
Call for Papers: Journal of Integrative and Innovative Humanities (Chiang Mai University)
Theme: Art, Politics, and Society in Asia
The Journal of Integrative and Innovative Humanities, Chiang Mai University, is pleased to announce a call for papers for its upcoming issue which will be published at the end of November 2024 on the theme of "Art, Politics, and Society in Asia".
This session at the 2024 Pacific Ancient & Modern Language Association (PAMLA) conference will explore the tendency of contemporary literary works to portray non-human entities through a racial lens. We invite papers that examine this trend in the context of techno-Orientalism, which often reduces and objectifies the image of Asians to that of the hyper-modern. Submissions may adopt either a theoretical or a literary analysis approach. Please check the details here: View Session (ballastacademic.com).

Indian Literatures and Cultures: New Theories and Reflections: An International Conference organized by The Department of English, Sidho-Kanho-Birsha University, Purulia Dates: September 11 and 12, 2024 The evolution of the studying and understanding of Indian Literatures and Cultures has always accompanied the global social, political or aesthetic theories. Starting from assuming nationalist trends in determining the horizons of Indian literature rooted to ancient myths, legends or epics and creating a cultural heritage against the superiority of the colonialist culture, various theories of determining the “Indianness” of the Indian literature and culture have been invoked.

Call for Papers: Form and its Discontents, a special issue of Qui Parle
Thus formless is not only an adjective having a given meaning, but a term that serves to bring things down in the world, generally requiring that each thing have its form. What it designates has no rights in any sense and gets itself squashed everywhere, like a spider or an earthworm.
— Georges Bataille, Informe (“Formless”), 1929

The Department of English Literature, The English and Foreign Languages University, Hyderabad, is organizing a three-day international conference entitled “Whither Integrative Humanities? Paths and Challenges” from 28th to 30th August, 2024.
In the last four years, we have collectively witnessed an increasing number of uprisings, growing social movements, and calls for solidarity. Following the murder of George Floyd on May 25, 2020, for example, we saw calls for solidarity in the uprisings against police violence and the systemic, pervasive white supremacy that has structured our social institutions. As COVID-19 eviction moratoriums lifted in 2021, we saw solidarity between tenants and unhoused people in movements for housing rights. In May 2022, the Supreme Court’s reversal of the Roe v.

Soapbox 6.0: On the Uses of Absence
-- peer-reviewed; open to critical and artistic work; submission deadline: June 10; extended proposals --
Singularly remembered for his influential role in authoring the Constitution of India, Ambedkar’s
thinking continues to provoke new thoughts on the normative orders of the social and the state.
However, foregrounding the centrality of “community” in understanding the social and the state,
this conference invites scholars to rethink Ambedkar as a paradigmatic figure—a writer and a
thinker—on community, understood as critical, even conflictual, constellations of affinities and
associations.
The idea of such a conference itself was an offshoot of conversations and contestations among a

Our engagement and consideration of conflicts, both national and international, has undoubtedly changed in the 21st century, especially in recent years. With the aid of media and modern technology, individuals and communities have a bigger space and opportunity to respond to geopolitical events which are both geographically far away and yet have never been closer.
