"Going Green from the Black Perspective: The Significance of Environmental Issues in the Black Community" is a one-day conference devoted to exploring the various ways Black activists, scholars, agriculturalists, and politicians have been (and are) currently responding to environmental issues within communities of color. At this time we are accepting papers that examine a variety of issues linked to environmentalism such as 1. the impact of toxic dump sites in urban communities, 2. the black community's involvement with green initiatives from the grassroots level to the international stage, 3. the relationship between environmentalism and activism within the black community, or 4. educating children of color about the vulnerability of the planet.

Wednesday, October 28, 2009 - 3:18pm
Scott Black / SCSECS

Following recent literary historians who have argued for a "geographically wider, historically longer, and more morphologically diverse" history of the novel, this panel will consider the eighteenth-century British novel in the context of romance, a genre organized by translation and formal variety. What does the "novel" look like if we adopt the heuristic of "romance" and its long, transnational, and less modern contexts?

Media, Medium, Mediation: Media Aesthetics Before 1900 (ACLA 2010)

updated: 
Wednesday, October 28, 2009 - 10:30am
Rachel Teukolsky

This seminar proposes to explore the aesthetic effects of early media--understood as "discourse networks," or channels of communication--by unsettling the idea of media itself. What might it mean to see media as medium, mediation, an in-between state, something mixed, or hybrid? Rather than seeing media history as a march of technological innovation, critics now describe emergent and residual media; they look to media in transition, overlapping media, co-existing visions of the retrograde and the futuristic. The idea of "media aesthetics" itself suggests porous boundaries between works of art and means of communication.
