The Summer School The Cultural Heritage and Memory of Totalitarianism explores the legacy of Fascism in Italy blending unique in situ visits to art, architecture and historical monuments led by international experts and classes on literature, film and culture led by Sapienza faculty. The goal is to broaden the scholarly assessment of the period and to suggest innovative curricula for students in the humanities, who are also interested in working in museums and cultural institutes in Italy and abroad. The heritage of Fascism in Rome and Italy will be approached in the context of Nazism and Stalinism, and framed within the broader scenario of European colonialism.

ReFocus: The Films of Guru Dutt

Monday, November 11, 2024 - 9:23pm
Edinburgh University Press
deadline for submissions: 
Wednesday, November 20, 2024

Guru Dutt’s films are integral to the golden age of Hindi cinema as they were both critical and commercial successes. In a short career spanning twenty years, Dutt has served as an actor, a director, and a producer. His versatility is testament to a deep understanding of every aspect of filmmaking. Critics contend that contradictory ideas coalesced in his movies. A prominent theme of nationalism is at the heart of Dutt’s oeuvre. While he set out to refashion Indian national identity, Dutt envisioned a utopia for the new nation. Ideologically, Dutt was influenced by Nehruvian socialism, which finds its expression in his selection of subjects and themes. His movies also critiqued the new nation’s failure to afford equal opportunities to every citizen.

Reinventing the Western Literary Canon

updated: 
Friday, November 8, 2024 - 4:32am
Postcolonial Studies Association
deadline for submissions: 
Friday, January 31, 2025

This new issue takes as its starting point Joy Harjo (Creek Muscogee)’s observation that “‘reinventing’ in the colonizer’s tongue and turning those images around to mirror an image of the colonized to the colonizers as a process of decolonization indicates that something is happening, something is emerging and coming into focus that will politicize as well as transform literary expression” (Harjo et al. 1998, 22). Postcolonial and Indigenous authors often appropriate the Western Literary canon, both in terms of form, language, and cultural elements in order to foreground their epistemologies and histories.

Society for Novel Studies Panel - How the Novel Speaks Alternate Media

deadline for submissions: 
Monday, November 11, 2024

How does the novel give voice to art in other media? What does it take to render as text what has never existed textually? In this panel, we will be responding to this year’s SNS conference theme of “novel languages” by thinking through the ekphrastic act in its broadest sense, asking and answering questions about what it means to “translate” art or experience from one medium to another, what it might mean for representations of other media in the novel to constitute a language of its own.

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).
