Epistolography, knowledge, and the Ancient World

Conference, University of Bucharest, October 3-4, 2025 (hybrid) 

CFP deadline: February 28, 2025

The Historical Institute of the University of Wrocław, Poland (HI UWr), Depot History Centre, the International Federation for Public History, and the Commission for Public History of the Committee of Historical Sciences of the Polish Academy of Sciences invite students, PhD candidates and practitioners to participate in the eighth Public History Summer School to be held in hybrid format (on-site and on-line), 9-13 June 2025.

In the very first year of the new millennium, the world witnessed the attacks on the World Trade Center, in New York City, on September 11. We all watched it numbly on television, as if it had been an action movie or an apocalyptic dystopia. This event has remained in the collective consciousness as the most tragic terrorist attack on American soil, with more than 3,000 deaths and a list of geopolitical consequences that have changed the world.

The year 2025 will mark the centennial of one of the most powerful voices in twentieth-century American Literature. Author of a reduced fictional production (two novels and three collections of short stories), Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964) remains among the most widely praised authors of the United States, to the extent that, shortly after her premature death, claims by, among others, Brainard Cheney, Robert Giroux, and Caroline Gordon were made about the country having lost their next Nobel Laureate for Literature. Alternative history aside, what is true is that the last century of American literature would have lost an enormous amount of its meaning without the existence of Flannery O’Connor’s writing.

Deadline for abstract submission: February 14th, 2025

CFP for an in-person panel:

Anthropology, Psychology, and Self-Understanding: Exploring Educative Contexts and Possibilities

Marina Warner’s latest work, Sanctuary: The Shelter of Stories (working title), the publication of which will coincide with our conference, opens with a scene from a film, where a man being chased finds refuge in a cathedral. Marina Warner describes how, as he lifts the giant door knocker, it becomes a hinge between danger and safety, enveloping the suppliant in a protective halo and becoming a portal to the Church’s ancient rite of, and right to, sanctuary. Enchanting Wor(l)ds will examine the myriad ways in which Marina Warner has dedicated her career to analysing how objects, spaces, temporalities, people, worlds and words can become enchanted: how they might be imbued with power, aura, mystery or dread.

Call for Papers

In the postmillennial era, South Asian graphic narratives have emerged as powerful mediums for exploring traditional notions of gender and sexuality. This panel examines the ways in which these contemporary visual storytelling forms address and subvert the cultural constructs surrounding gender and sexual identities in South Asia.
