Performance Aesthetics and Decolonial Practice(s) in Africa and Beyond

In Traditional African Festival Drama in Performance, Austine Anigala(2006)draws on the Ukpalabor festival of the Ebedei people in Southern Nigeria to argue for the performance and dramatic potential of the indigenous African festival. This provocative work is against the backdrop of polemics initiated by scholars such as Ruth Finnegan (2012) and Michael J. C. Echeruo (1973) about the dramatic limits of indigenous African festivals. Recall that Echeruo (1973) called for a re-examination of how indigenous festivals are referred to as drama.

Medieval Engagements with Disability

The Canadian Society of Medievalists
deadline for submissions: 
Tuesday, January 6, 2026

The EDID (Equity, Diversity, Inclusivity and Decolonization) Committee of the CSM/SCM invites papers for a session that will explore disability in the medieval past and/or the ways in which disability studies and medieval studies fruitfully intersect. The session welcomes papers that consider understandings of non-standard human bodies from the medieval past and/or reflect upon the ways in which, as Godden and Hsy write, “the study of disability in the Middle Ages challenges modern narratives of bodily integrity and autonomy” (334). The non-standard body in the Middle Ages takes on a variety of forms both familiar and unfamiliar to us today, from the use of spectacles to colonies of lepers.

Queer World-Making

updated: 
Saturday, November 15, 2025 - 12:31pm

deadline for submissions: 
Monday, January 5, 2026

The EDID (Equity, Diversity, Inclusivity and Decolonization) Committee of the CSM/SCM invites papers for a session on queer world-making in medieval studies. This session takes as its starting point the idea that queerness is not only an identity category or critical lens, but also a mode of imagining, creating, and inhabiting other worlds. We are interested in how medieval texts envision alternatives to normative ideals, and in how queer approaches to these texts might open transformative possibilities.

“This impulse to violence had been in her for a long time, growing, feeding, until finally she had blown up in a thousand pieces... Yes, a one-way ticket, she thought. I've had one since the day I was born. The train was on the track.”
