CONFERENCES
Show & Prove 2018 Hip Hop Studies
Conference
The
UC Riverside Department of Dance in conjunction with the UC Consortium for Black
Studies in California invite proposals to be part of the 4th Biennial Show
& Prove Hip Hop Studies Conference (S&P 2018) to be held at the Culver
Center of the Arts in Riverside, CA on December 7th – 9th.
On
their own, the 2018 conference keywords have multiple meanings. Hustling in Hip
Hop parlance typically invokes work in the underground economy. Yet hustling
can also refer to any means of making money to survive (legal or not), pushing
to create and exhaust all available opportunities, and the consequences of such
activity. Broadly speaking, hustling
speaks to the various means folks use to acquire power otherwise denied,
particularly economic power. Response/ability is a purposeful hybrid
illuminating multiple dimensions: responsibility as duty, response as reaction,
and ability as capacity. In more overt political terms response/ability refers
to activism in its various forms, and the Hip Hop community’s collective
capacity and duty to respond to injustice in substantive ways in these precarious
times.
Final
submissions are due no later than 11:59pm PST on April 15, 2018.
To
submit proposals or for additional details please contact showproveconf@gmail.com.
Imagine Queer: the Radical Potential of
Queerness Now
The
aim of the conference is to consider interdisciplinary approaches to the
transgressive potential of queerness today. Considering grassroots LGBTQ+
activism, artistic practices, as well as academic discourse of queer theory, we
seek to identify and address issues arising in the current transnational
socio-political conditions. How can biopolitics be challenged by queer
temporalities? How can radical activism of preceding decades be
re-contextualised and employed now? Can queer social formations, based on
friendship, kinship, and affective communities, be used to reconsider the
heteronormative structures aided by the legislation in the international
context?
The
proposals should be sent to imaginequeer2018@gmail.com by
31st May 2018.
Worlding SF: Building, Inhabiting, and
Understanding Science Fiction Universes
December
6-8, 2018, University of Graz, Austria
The
conference "Worlding SF" seeks to explore three thematic clusters—(a)
world-building, (b) processes and practices of being in fictional worlds (both
from the characters' and readers'/viewers'/players'/fans' points of view), and
(c) the seemingly naturalized subtextual messages these fantastic visions
communicate (or sometimes even self-consciously address).

This
conference provides a space for an interdisciplinary analysis of themes related
to ‘memories at the margin’. We particularly welcome submissions from
postgraduate, independent and early-career researchers. The aim of this
conference is to widen the traditional understanding of memory through an
examination of the voices that are typically left out of local, national and
international narratives.
Applications

The Political / The Personal: The
Global and Local Function of Regional Media
July
19-21, 2018, Bucksport, Maine,
Conceptually
connected to our more broadly conceived 2017program, NHF19 is also about
regional media, regional archives, and regional work. This year, however, we
hope to consider the tension (real and perceived) between regional media’s
global and local functions. To this end, we invite presentations exploring the
inward and outward gaze of local film, television, and video production. Our
aim is to assemble a program that moves us, collectively, from materials
focused on the here and now of their regional and temporal locality, to those
aiming outward, to the future, to other regions, to a notion of a larger,
connected community.

Embodied Heritage Praxis: Ontologies of
Participation and Praxis
Carleton
University, Ottawa APRIL 28, 2018
UNESCO’s
2003 approval of the Convention for the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural
Heritage enshrined within heritage studies and heritage conservation sentiments
that had been growing in popularity for decades: that the practices,
representations, expressions, and knowledge inherited from one generation to
the next constitute essential components of tangible heritage. Since then, this
relationship has been explored through community-based conservation, cultural
landscape and Historic Urban Landscape approaches. However, despite these
initiatives, it has remained a challenge to incorporate these strategies in
practice.
Addressing
these ontologies of participation, this symposium embraces the
interdisciplinary nature of the heritage field by asking: How may emerging and
evolving ontologies of participation and process inform heritage conservation
practice?

Politics and Poetics in Contemporary Poetry:
Visibility, Anger, Bodies and Resistance
SSAWW,
11/7-11/11/18, Denver CO
This
proposed panel is interested in contemporary poetry that engages viscerally
with the political, and particularly poetry that connects the tangible and
flexible elements of form to issues of embodiment and identity. How is the idea
of the “woman writer” -or more broadly, the gendered body - connected to
current political poetry? can the yearning to be seen be politically
productive? But visibility, per se, is no simple cure. Papers exploring the
connection between identity and embodiment with the current political moment
are particularly welcome in this consideration of the increasing visibility of
poetry and resistance in our news and newsfeeds.

Adapt, Adopt, Adept: The Material
Phenomenon
March
23rd and 24th 2018, Pacific Rim Conference. University of Anchorage Alaska
The
2018 Pacific Rim Conference, hosted in the beautiful and diverse city of
Anchorage, Alaska, calls for participants to consider adaptation, adoption,
appropriation, and adeptness not just as a process but as the material that
enlightens the humanities to an understanding of the cornucopia of cultures in
which people thrive. Understanding these valued signifiers, whether they are
literature or language or anything in between, and their re-assemblages allows
new scopes for audiences to appreciate both old and new significations. We
encourage participants to consider all elements of adaptation in their
proposals.
Please
submit proposals via https://goo.gl/forms/F2aG8GV3GxNDRGb02 or
emailed to uaapacrim@gmail.com no
later than January 31st 2018.

Digital Humanities and Pedagogy Across
the Disciplines
To
fully realize the transformative potential of DH tools in education and to
avert innovation for innovation’s sake, DH pedagogy must continually be
realigned with technological innovation and fluid methodologies. Digital
Humanities pedagogy is overcoming its “bracketed” state (Hirsch, 2012) but the
continual re-articulation of a robust pedagogy remains essential to close
technological and methodological knowledge gaps, facilitate the adoption of DH
tools, and advance a growing community of expert practitioners. This seminar will engage 12-15 participants
to focus on faculty-student collaborations, which utilize digital tools to
engage learners as critical, reflective, and agentive participants in all
processes of digital culture.
Applications
for seminar enrollment are due by 26 January 2018

Matter(s) of Fact
Western
University, March 15-17, 2018
In
the age of artificial intelligence, social media, and reality television, the
notions of simulacra and creation of narratives impact ever more strata of our
lives and bring to the fore questions such as: What kind of “new reality”
exists in the era of post-truth, and how is that translated in cultural
production? Is postmodernity, given its constant interrogation of realities and
truths, the most productive way of helping us make sense of shifting epistemes?
What responsibilities and challenges arise with the novel ways that knowledge—and
perhaps by extension, truth—is produced and communicated? Are we, indeed, in an
era of “post-truth”? Are we done with facts? This conference invites papers on
literary, historical, and theoretical investigations of narratives,
hermeneutics, and myths of facts and truths.
We
are asking those interested in delivering 15 to 20-minute presentations to
submit abstracts of no more than 300 words to themattersoffact@gmail.com by January
14, 2018.

Records of Africa
March
30-31, 2018, Boston University
In
1959, the folklorist and ethnomusicologist Alan Lomax claimed that “Africa is
not only the richest, but the best-recorded continent, musically speaking.” But
it is not only in the musical or sonic sense that we can speak about the
richness, complexity, and problems of the “records of Africa.” In relation to
the continent, thinking about “records” calls to mind such various phenomena as
the medical records generated by national health systems and NGOs, colonial
legal records of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, or archaeological and
architectural records. Of course, Lomax was correct to point to the long and
robust history of sound records on/of the continent - from ethnographic field
recordings to popular music industries, to networks of global circulation.
Records also index other media—and multimedia—of artistic and documentary
inscription, storage, practice, and experience.
Please
submit an abstract (no more than 300 words in .pdf or .doc format containing no
references) and a two-page CV to buasc2018@gmail.com by Monday, January 15th,
2018.
Media, Comm, Film Studies at Liberal
Arts Colleges
June
18 & 19, 2018, Lake Forest College
As
a provocation for presenters and attendees, this year’s theme is
“Continuities.” Participants are invited to reflect on how the liberal arts
college derives value from longstanding practices in education and scholarship.
Though media, communication, and film programs are often relative newcomers to
the liberal arts college, we all still claim a connection to the same
traditions as other programs and disciplines. This “Continuities” theme invites
symposium participants to reflect on what our own practices indicate about our
connection to the those traditions.

Migrants: art, artists, materials and
ideas crossing borders
15-16
November 2018, University of Cambridge
Artistic
production and the preservation of cultural property have always been subject
to the ebb and flow of international influences. Major factors have included
the supply of materials, the migration of artists, designers and craftspeople,
as well as evolving conservation theory and practice, within the spheres of the
fine and applied arts. This two-day conference is intended to bring together
cross-discipline papers centring on the physical and conceptual manifestations
of the effects of migration and migrants on cultural material. These
investigations might include, but are not limited to, the transnational journey
of materials and methods of production as well as the introduction of
preservation measures and practices. This theme also invites a focus on
diasporas of practitioners and their reception by new audiences or consumers.
We
invite abstracts of up to 500 words in English, for 20-minute papers. The
deadline for submission is 28 February 2018. The conference will be in English.
Please send abstracts to Spike Bucklow (sb10029@cam.ac.uk) and Lucy Wrapson (ljw31@cam.ac.uk).
Gendered Threads of Globalization: 20th
Century Textile Crossings in Asia-Pacific and Canada
University
of Victoria, Canada, spring 2019
Gendered
Threads of Globalization: 20th Century Textile Crossings in Asia-Pacific and
Canada (GToG) brings junior and senior scholars of various disciplines together
with artists and other professionals for a timely, critical dialogue on
intersections of gender, labor, and tradition in Asian-Pacific textile
industries throughout the long twentieth century. GToG examines women's
shifting roles in textile production and how the manufacture, consumption, and
sustainability of textiles are gendered within the region today. We examine
issues of cultural values, heritage, ethics, and material culture to expose
tensions between human capital and the global market (with an aim of improving)
gender and economic inequality in worldwide textile industries.
We
welcome project/paper proposals of 150 words from artists and scholars
(particularly graduate students). Please send by 02/14 to Melia Belli Bose, bellibose@uvic.ca.
PUBLISHING
Interests and Power in Language
Management

negotiation of linguistic and non-linguistic interests, and the utilization of
power in the resolution of conflicts between them.
Extended abstracts in English (500-1000 words) should be e-mailed

Media, Activism, and Social
Development
Wagadu: A Journal of Transnational Women’s and Gender Studies, Special
Issue
In the wake of continuing media activism from engaged women and ongoing
revelations of sexual harassment in entertainment, business, politics, and
academia, our global society has witnessed the rise of millions of women taking
to social media to reclaim conversations about their lived experiences. From #BringBackOurGirls to #MeToo, media
campaigns have captured the public imagination and have forced many to grapple
with the myriad and enduring oppressions women face around the world. This particular issue seeks to interrogate
the intersection of media, activism, and social development to give space to
discussions of movements for equality, viability, and justice and to expose
(in)visible, yet hypervisible forms of discrimination and subjugation in the
public sphere, most especially in the Global South.
The deadline for abstract submissions (200 words) is January 30, 2018.
Questions? Please contact Tori Omega Arthur (tori.arthur@colostate.edu) and/or
Bekeh Utietiang Ukelina (bekeh.ukelina@cortland.edu).
Locating Affect: On the
Ambivalence of Affective Situatednes
Special Issue of Distinktion: Journal of Social Theory
Our aim is not to play temporal theories of the affective off against
spatial ones, but rather to bring the spatio-temporality of affect into such a
focus that we can connect it to empirical work on space and place on the one
hand, and to spatial concepts in political and social theory on the other hand.
However, we do accept a minimal definition of affect as relationality that in
in our opinion precedes the question of spatialization and temporalization.
Affect, it can be argued, allows for studying the materiality as well as the
potentiality of dis-/connections (Barad 2003; Berlant 2012). The relational
intensity is occurring in the momentary relatedness of diverse elements, in
which all participants are affected and affecting, sending and receiving at the
same time.
Be sure to submit your paper by 31st March, 2018 for consideration.

Technologies of Knowledge in the
Global South
This edited volume interrogates the technologies of knowledge and its
impact in structuring lives in the Global South as shaped through the common
experience of empire and imperialism, colonialism and post colonialism. This
volume enquires into technology as a mode of knowledge production and also
draws upon the use of technology in the colonial context where it not only
functioned as an element of imperial domination but was also appropriated in
the everyday lives of people. Additionally, explicit engagement with technology
in the form of census, surveys, transportation, medicine and public health
measures brought the colonial population to face with massive state ventures as
a mode of governance. In equal measure, technology was also invoked in the
production of culture and historicizing, commemorating and preserving the past
through archaeological excavation, architectural preservation and the
maintenance of heritage sites.
A chapter title and brief summary (approximately 350 words): Due by
February 28, 2018.

Radical Histories of Sanctuary
The Radical History Review seeks submissions on the concept of
sanctuary. We are interested in work that converses with current discussions
across fields and historicizes the concept’s lineages within religious,
political, and legal histories and in relation to social movements that have
contested (and have been persecuted for contesting) governmental and
non-governmental violence. What does it mean–and what has it meant–to evoke the
term “sanctuary”? This issue seeks to think through the connections and
dissonances of sanctuary by examining the deep histories of its use in a
comparative framework.

Intercultural and Interfaith
Dialogues for Global Peacebuilding and Stability
The book purports to investigate the theoretical and practical
principles of interreligious and interfaith initiatives in an age of
sociopolitical tumult. Such initiatives are becoming increasingly associated
with a liberal theory of modernity and internationalism that presupposes
freedom, democracy, human rights and tolerance. However, although it is rapidly
becoming the dominant paradigm for 'cultural policy' and the educational basis
for the development of intercultural understanding, the knowledge about and
familiarity with intercultural/interfaith dialogue is still scant and
disjointed.
Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit on or before
January 30, 2018, a chapter proposal of 1,000 to 2,000 words clearly explaining
the mission and concerns of his or her proposed chapter.

Narratives of (Il)legibility in
East Asia
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, May 5th, 2018
With the theme “Narratives of (Il)legibility in East Asia,” this
conference aspires to nurture interdisciplinary discussions that contribute to
understandings of East Asia. The conference aims to explore various questions
relevant to past and present lived experiences in East Asia including: What
criteria have been used to produce social categories and how have such criteria
operated as techniques of inclusion and exclusion? How has the construction of
legible bodies and practices in East Asia been involved in the (re)production
of social hierarchies related to class, gender, sexuality, race, nationality,
and (dis)ability?

Partitions and Borders
Jadavpur University and West Bengal State University, Dates: 12-15
December, 2018
An ‘ecotone’ is a transitional area between two or more distinct
ecological communities, for instance the zone between field and forest,
mountain and ocean, or between sea and land. The two ecosystems may be
separated by a sharp boundary line or may merge gradually. An ‘ecotone’ may also
indicate a place where two communities meet, at times creolizing or germinating
into a new community. In this conference we will explore how a region functions
through history as a transitional space between two ecologies. Do these ecotone
spaces echo the distinct notes of its two borders, or do these spaces create a
unique melody of their own and constitute a third space?

Copy-Past. Revaluating History,
Memory and Archive in Cinema, Performing Arts and Visual Culture
Cluj, May 18-19, 2018
The conference Copy-Past – Memory, archive, revaluations in cinema,
performing arts and visual culture proposes a double articulation of the
concept of past: it proposes equally a discourse of history and a discourse on
history. That is, on the one hand, it proposes a discussion addressing the
historical factuality (and its historiographic understandings) as well as the
mechanisms to work, interpret and visualize historical facts and their
relevance in contemporary artistic practice and critical thinking. On the other
hand, it proposes to reflect on the methodological and theoretical
interpretations stemming from and critically departing from various historicist
approaches. More precisely, it expects to theorize on the very possibility of
historicity: the interpreting solutions addressing the evolution of ideas,
methodologies and systems of historical and critical research of artistic
creation, in relation to the social and political contexts.

Sexual Citizenship: A Global
Inclusive Interdisciplinary Conference
Monday 23rd July to Tuesday 24th July 2018, Prague, Czech Republic
Exploring the relationship between sexuality and personhood, this
project seeks to understand how sex and sexuality shape citizenship, belonging,
identity, and expression. Embracing an ethos of cultural humility, we wish to
explore how sexual citizenship manifests organically within and across
communities and cultures. We are particularly interested in panels or
roundtables, seminars, workshop proposals, performances, policy brainstorming
sessions, art exhibits and other forms of expression – recognising that
different disciplines express themselves in different mediums and that
different cultures have different ways of knowing.

Television Series
Journal of Art and Media Studies special issue
In the last two decades, television series have grown extremely
popular. This popularity rises from the phenomenon called complex television,
which was made possible thanks to what media theoreticians, among the first of
which was Jason Mittell, call narrative complexity. Narrative complexity
developed thanks to the technological transformation of production,
broadcasting and especially of the ways of watching television programs. The
term revolution in watching is used to denote this transformation, made
possible especially by DVDs and downloading. These television series provoke us
to think about the narrative mechanics by which they are constructed, as well
as about the way they represent globalization, neoliberalism, post-feminism,
etc.

From Center to Periphery and
from Periphery to Center: An Inter-Culture exchange
Interplay: A Journal of Languages, Linguistics, and Literature
During most of the 20th century, academia knowledge was circulated in
the world on a path parallel with Western countries’ political and economic
dominance. Western experts were sent out into the world by their native country
or by international institutions to share or impose their findings on other
countries in the areas of literature, linguistics and the teaching of foreign
languages. This is what we might call a diffusion of knowledge from center to
periphery. There were some exceptions to this Western dominance but not many.

Queer & Trans* Aesthetics
Special issue of The Black Scholar
The 21st century marks a turn for centralizing queer and trans* lives,
bodies, and activism in the broader work for Black liberation, representation,
and aesthetics. From the central leadership of queer Black women who founded
the US-based #BlackLivesMatter movement to the art-activism of South African
artist Zanele Muholi to queer imams and bishops to the renaissance of black
independent filmmaking such as Tangerine (2015) and “Auntie” (2012), Black
queer and trans* lives are no longer ancillary or adjacent to global
conversations on Black life. Though the specter of queerness and transness
differs by geography, politics, language, public life, infrastructure, and so
on, Black queer and trans* people are redefining their intersectional lives and
loves away from mainstream White Gay Inc. global movements that are often
concerned, primarily, with securing state-based financial benefits related to
relationship recognition.

Dialectic of Digital Culture
Idealist thinking marked the development of the Internet and digital
technologies, especially in the 1990s. Writers, both academic and popular,
imagined a more democratic world where information would be unrestricted,
communication would erase space, and technologies would free our time. In many
ways, rhetoric about the Internet and other digital technologies parallel the
uncritical hope many found in the technological inventions of the scientific
revolution and philosophical edicts of the Enlightenment. In Dialectic of
Enlightenment, Theodor Adorno and Max Horkheimer demonstrate that the exact
developments in science and technology heralded by enlightenment thinkers as
elevating freedom actually resulted in greater oppression of the masses.
This edited collection aims to explore the contradictions of digital
culture to provide the critical work necessary to understand the role of
digital technology in contemporary society.
