If literature has long played a central role in defining what it means to be human, posthumanist thought urges us to reconsider that definition in the face of unprecedented technological, ecological, and cultural transformations. Rather than announcing the ‘end’ of the human, posthumanism interrogates the category itself, foregrounding humanity’s entanglements with other species, material environments, and technological systems. In doing so, it challenges human exceptionalism and exposes the historical contingency and political implications of the ‘human’ as a normative construct.

2nd CISMA 2026: International Conference on Technology and Corpora in Discourse, Translation and Interpreting

Khazar University, in collaboration with Shanghai International Studies University (SISU), is pleased to announce the 2nd CISMA 2026 International Conference on Technology and Corpora in Discourse, Translation and Interpreting, which will be held on April 30, 2026, at Khazar University, Baku, Azerbaijan.

This year’s ICSAH meeting approaches the Art of Mediation as a framework for understanding cross-cultural interaction in history. Throughout time, individuals, institutions, communities, and cultural forms—ranging from language and performance to visual and material culture—have acted as mediators between societies. In negotiating religious difference, political conflict, economic rivalry, and artistic exchange, they shaped the shared spaces where civilisations met, interacted, and coexisted.

H2D (Revista de Humanidades Digitais) is an interdisciplinary Diamond Open Access journal dedicated to advancing research and dialogue in Digital Humanities. We welcome contributions that explore how digital tools and methods reshape humanities scholarship and practice, bridging humanistic inquiry and technological innovation while engaging contemporary societal challenges aligned with the UN 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.

A "Melange," sans accent, is a term we use to refer to a work of art of literature that mixes form, genre, and/or media. Princeton University's Melange: A Journal of Prose Poetry and the Arts accepts creative melanges, academic essays on melanges, and melanges in translation. 

To submit, please send the following to melange@princeton.edu: 

Translators, Texts, and Contexts: Reclaiming Human Agency in the Age of AIHosted by the Department of Translation, Lingnan University, Hong Kong11-12 December 2026  |  M+, Kowloon, Hong Kong

As artificial intelligence (AI) sweeps through the landscape of language mediation, the classical trio of Translators, Texts, and Contexts remains central to understanding the art, ethics, and politics of translation. While AI tools offer unprecedented efficiencies in text processing, they often lack the human capacity for nuanced judgment and cultural contextualisation that remain essential to traditional translation studies scholarship.
