PAMLA 2023 Los Angeles: “Shifting Perspectives”

October 26–29, 2023

 

Panel: "Emersonian Perspectives"

Sponsored by the Ralph Waldo Emerson Society

 

The Ralph Waldo Emerson Society invites papers that explore the conference theme “Shifting Perspectives” in the context of Emerson’s work and reception. Contributions may address how perspective informs Emerson’s philosophy, aesthetics, poetics and politics. They may also explore in what ways Emerson’s work teaches us to shift our approaches to reading, thinking, feeling, writing and teaching. Finally, they may also show how other philosophers, poets and artists shift our perspective on Emerson.

Theories of Affect and the Short Fiction of Jorge Luis Borges

updated: 
Tuesday, April 4, 2023 - 10:25am
Ashley Ecklund / University of Oregon
deadline for submissions: 
Wednesday, May 31, 2023

This panel will focus on the short fiction of Jorge Luis Borges and Affect Theory broadly construed. Papers analyzing any short story from Borges' many collections (e.g., Ficciones, The Book of Sand, Shakespeare's Memory etc.) along with any affect-focused reading are welcome. With analyses of the often enigmatic, and occasionally cryptic, atmospheres of Borges’ fiction, the aim of this panel is to add to (perhaps even shift!) discourses on the conceptualization of affect.

Post-Pandemic Condition: Biopolitics in the Aftermath of the COVID-19

 

Conference Date: 7 September, 2023

National Gallery of Art, Konstitucijos pr. 22, Vilnius

Exploring human dominance, gender, and heteronormativity through cyborgs and AI in films

updated: 
Friday, March 24, 2023 - 9:11am
PAMLA
deadline for submissions: 
Wednesday, May 31, 2023

Films have for a very long time been used to form a narrative that may oppose what the heteronormative society believes and that is why probably it is one of the most popular forms of artistic expression. When we think of films like Her or the Japanese anime Ghost in the Shell we see the use of technology in brilliant ways. It shows how easily humans are replaceable emotionally as well as physically. But how well do these films and many others like these refute the social conditioning that often clouds our visions? Is the world of cyborgs too dystopian for humans to survive in? Or just like any ‘other’ cyborgs and AI will just become another way for the powerful in the human world to exert dominance?
