Pet Affect Studies Towards Zootopia

"— and then she makes out with her dog! That's the essay." Speaking of Haraway's Companion Species Manifesto, to which I'm the modest witness, Eileen Myles is too a dog person while the Internet is rather more abuzz with considerations for the feline question... Mammalian largeness is a 'do' to be vegan yet rodents and fish deserve inclusion here. 

Send 200-300 word abstracts speculating on how interspecies intimacy (Giddens 1992) may, could, or should evolve zoos out-of-business with reckonings for affect studies as we deconstruct the 'fandom' paradigm together.

From 3D modeling suites and configurators to generative AI for modeling and product development, digital twins of avatars and garments for production and archival purposes, virtual showrooms, digital fashion for gaming, and platform-based retail infrastructures, digital technologies mediate the conception, production, circulation, and experience of garments.

Two conferences, one in Halle (Saale) and the other in Atlanta (Georgia), aim to bring together researchers interested in the Francke Foundations in Halle, the English missionary societies, and the founding of the colony of Georgia. While the conference in Halle will focus on a systematic comparison between these institutions, the conference in Atlanta will address the social consequences. The main question is what types of social order the Protestant reform movements in Prussia, England, and Georgia promoted.
