Let’s Get Digital (UAAC-AAUC Conference 2022 Congrès)

updated: 
Monday, July 4, 2022 - 8:52am
Universities Art Association of Canada
deadline for submissions: 
Friday, July 8, 2022

Let’s Get Digital embraces the timely opportunity to critically reexamine the impacts of digital technology and the barrage of information on our perceptions of reality. Specifically, this panel is focusing on digital art, history, curatorial strategies, critical theory, emergent platforms and forms of creative expression. In bringing together a panel of artists, scholars, and curators we hope to collectively reflect on our present post-internet age, to borrow Byung-Chul Han’s term, ‘the age of like’, and what it means to engage with the digital realm, over half-a-century since its inception.

The Senses and Memory

updated: 
Saturday, June 11, 2022 - 1:57pm
Chanelle Dupuis / NeMLA
deadline for submissions: 
Friday, September 30, 2022

From the "Proust Effect" to music's "reminiscence bump", the senses can evoke strong memories and convey complex details of an event. Each sense is encoded in the brain in its own particular way and registers unique characteristics of a moment. Likewise, the senses in tandem can build relations that resonate the multisensory qualities of an event. We are looking for papers that explore the link between the senses and memory in various forms of media and texts. The proposals should interact with Sensory Studies (Smell, Sound, Taste, Touch, and Sight) in some way or be works that consider the intersection of the senses (synesthesia, etc).

Friday, September 30, 2022

In concert with the theme of the 2023 NeMLA annual convention, “Resilience,” this panel will consider in what forms sustainability and resilience (broadly conceived) appear in the literature and philosophy of ancien régime France. In the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth centuries, France and Europe more broadly faced a variety of social, political, economic, and environmental crises, from the brutal Wars of Religion in the sixteenth century, to the “Little Ice Age” climatic downturn that affected agricultural production, to more international disputes, political uprisings like the Fronde, the 1720 outbreak of plague in Marseille, and the Lisbon earthquake of 1755.

We remember the grip of cool morning air around us as we waited for school in the morning. We still flinch when we see the silhouettes of the seagulls that stole our food, and inhale deeply when we catch the scent of fresh cut grass on the breeze. We all have favorite places, and locations that draw up memories every time we pass. Every place has its own things that make it special, and its own way that it fuels the lives and imaginations of those who live nearby.
