The 16th Annual Harvard-Brown Graduate Student Conference in Italian Studies
Harvard University, April 4-5, 2025
Elementi: Transformations and Metamorphoses
Queer Studies in Media and Popular Culture is seeking reviews for upcoming issues. The journal welcomes reviews of a wide range of queer media and cultural artefacts. Like other academic journals, Queer Studies in Media & Popular Culture certainly publishes reviews of recently released books on queer subject matter. Consistent with the journal's overall focus, however, we also strongly encourage the submission and publication of reviews pertaining to significant films, musical recordings, plays, television series, video games, exhibitions, and related cultural artefacts that are of relevance to queerness in its various forms.

In line with this working group’s established practice, we have identified three loose strands that reflect the recent work of scholars in the wider field of political performances, and that also align with the 2025 conference theme: Performing Carnival!
Calcutta Research Group (www.mcrg.ac.in) will conduct an online orientation course on the city of our time, under the specific theme “Making and Unmaking of Cities”. This online certificate course will be held from 15 February to 31 March 2025. It will have twelve lectures (two lectures on Saturdays / weekends) encompassing accounts of making and unmaking of cities in South Asia and the world, issues of urban autonomy and sovereignty, struggles for rights and urban justice, as well as dominant stories that cities tell of themselves. Some of the discussions will be anchored in a political-economy perspective throwing light on forms of labour in global South, which include cities of South Asia.
International conference "‘ Change life ", 100 years later: Surrealism from the origins till now" (December 9 and 10, 2024)
This year marks the centenary of the publication of the surrealist manifesto. The surrealist movement, itself derived from Dada, has since experienced internationalization and rebirths. In recent years, the movement has benefited from new insights while literary and artistic criticisms have sought to highlight figures and aspects hitherto neglected: the essential place of women in movement, its international dimension, its Relations with negritude and the criticism of colonialism, its intermediality, the multiplicity of its artistic practices.
