Hiphop and Queer/Trans Black Feminisms

https://networks.h-net.org/node/73374/announcements/11732861/2023-hiphop-literacies-conference-cfp-hiphop-and-queertrans

OSU Hiphop Literacies Conference (OSU HHLC) is both an academic and public facing community convening that provides a space relevant to lives of Hiphop generation youth and their communities, in relation to cultural development, education, and overall well-being. Black women, queer and/trans people across genders and sexualities following in the footsteps of earlier Black feminists of the Combahee River Collective brought to the fore that Black people as a group are queered and non-normative, namely, through racialization of their gender, sexuality, and class by subtle and explicit institutionalized violent social practices. Presentations and performances should highlight the Hiphop arts and Black queer and trans feminist influence in education, cinema, television, fashion, literature, digital technology, activism, Black popular culture, politics, criminal justice, issues of bodily autonomy, health care, reproductive justice and more.

Send abstracts for papers and other formats to Hiphopliteracies@gmail.com by January 15, 2023.

 

2023 Cultural Studies Association (CSA) Annual Conference: Conclusions

https://www.culturalstudiesassociation.org/conference-960395.html

From the fall of nations to global health crises, those in power have long claimed the right to define or declare conclusions: the end of history, of race, of truth, of colonialism, of slavery, of stagnation, of democracy, of an epoch, of the world. Critical scholars and marginalized communities from around the globe, in turn, have prudently treated the purpose of declared conclusions with warranted suspicion – are they meant to warn, to assuage, to control, to prevent other “ends” or endings? As with past conferences, we welcome proposals from all disciplines and topics relevant to cultural studies. Our goal this year is to again hold all sessions in a fully hybrid format, as we did in our very successful 2021 Conference.

January 7, 2023: Final Deadline for Submissions

If you have any questions, please address them to Michelle Fehsenfeld at: admin@culturalstudiesassociation.org

 

Towards a materialist theory of the monument

https://politicasdelamemoria.org/en/2022/10/call-for-proposals-towards-a-materialist-theory-of-the-monument/

Monuments are objects of study in terms of their conservation and restoration; they are planned and installed by the state, companies, and institutions; they are destroyed by social movements and in war contexts; they are the object of community mobilisations and self-managed construction under popular subscription. Our aim is to confront this vision of the monument by adopting a materialist viewpoint. We propose to analyse the purpose of the monument, its historicity, its determining factors, and the social relations it incorporates. What does it mean to erect, conserve, pay homage to, dismantle, deconstruct, or demolish monuments. We propose a reading of the monument as a significant gesture within the framework of social struggles, thereby breaking with the subjectivist reading of the memory. We are committed to examining the historical consciousness expressed in the way of producing and relating to the monument.

Proposals will be accepted until 31 January 2023.

Proposals should be sent to: josemaria.duranmedrano@lba.hfm-berlin.de

 

Rhetoric and Religion as Resources for Resistance: An Interdisciplinary Conference

https://blogs.memphis.edu/aapat/

The University of Memphis, October 19-21, 2023

We invite scholars to submit individual or coauthored paper and panel proposals focusing on any project related to rhetoric and religion, but we are especially interested in work that helps us imagine the resources that can be cultivated from the study of religious rhetorics, whether those resources are pedagogical, philosophical, homiletic, activist-focused, or something else. Importantly, we also want to make space for work that is anti-religious, non-religious, or takes a critical perspective on religious rhetoric. We wish to cultivate an interdisciplinary space that welcomes believers, skeptics, atheists, activists, scholars, and religious leaders. We especially hope scholars doing work on non-Western religious traditions will consider submitting a proposal.

Please submit proposals via this submission link by March 15, 2023.

Inquires can be sent to Dr. Will Duffy and Dr. Andre E. Johnson at rrtconference@gmail.com

 

Struggle and/as Transformation

https://networks.h-net.org/node/73374/announcements/11468044/call-papers-struggle-andas-transformation-conference-marquette

April 20-21, 2023, Marquette University

Struggle is central to the work of knowledge production and learning done at the university. In order to promote socially-engaged research and critical and creative work, there must be recognition of and reflection on the erasure and silencing of forms of knowing and being often excluded from our classrooms and our writing. This conference grew out of this very imperative– a deep need for decolonial work in response to the historic erasure and cultural genocide of colonized peoples in the United States and throughout the world. We invite you to engage with the theme of struggle and transformation broadly, working through collective or personal struggles in ways that are critical or creative, analytical or expressive.

Please send a 250-word abstract or description of your project by February 1st, 2023 to: aegsconference@marquette.edu.

 

"Where are our women artists?: Linda Nochlin’s Question in the Age of Feminist Visual Culture" Graduate Student Conference

https://networks.h-net.org/node/73374/announcements/11461771/cfp-where-are-our-women-artists-linda-nochlin%E2%80%99s-question-age

April 14-15, 2023, Rice University, Houston, TX

Published in the January 1971 special issue of ARTnews, Linda Nochlin’s essay “Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists?” opened the way for a feminist methodology into the discipline of art history. Following up on Nochlin’s question 51 years later, this conference seeks to generate conversations on feminist methodologies and interrogate feminist art history anew to consider the resonance of Nochlin’s question and career today. We encourage submissions which expand upon and revisit Linda Nochlin’s essay now in relation to queer and BIPOC artists, across feminist and art historical methodologies, embracing both historical and contemporary practices. As such, we welcome submissions working with visual and material culture across all time periods, regions, cultures, and mediums, as well as those approaching from a women, gender, and sexuality theory, method, and/or praxis.

CFP Deadline: December 16, 2022

The United States in the Anthropocene

https://networks.h-net.org/node/73374/announcements/11634385/cfp-united-states-anthropocene

University of Bologna, Forlì Campus, 8-9 June 2023

USAbroad invites submissions for a two-day workshop and its 2024 issue. Authors of the selected abstracts will participate in the workshop and have their articles automatically considered for the 2024 issue of the journal. To favor the event’s attendance, all the selected participants will receive a travel and accommodation grant. More details on the logistics of the event, submission deadlines and grants can be found at https://usabroad.unibo.it/.  

The 2024 issue of USAbroad will be dedicated to the study of the complex relationship between the United States and the global environment. The aim will be to look at American history and politics through an environmental lens and reframe Washington's upward trajectory as a world power in the context of the Anthropocene. This means examining how US actions have induced environmental change and, equally important, how the landscape’s natural features and raw materials, in general, have influenced, if not determined, Americans’ choices at the local, national, and international levels. 

Proposals must be sent by December 11, 2022, at usabroad@unibo.it.

 

Digital Humanities Winter School Tran(s)missions

https://multimedialitysummerschool.github.io/transmissions/Index.html

10-15 January 2023, Università degli Studi di Roma Tre

The "digital revolution" forces us both to rethink the correspondences between art and science and to reconsider the role of technologies in literature. The Winter School Tran(s)missions: how multimediality shapes interdisciplinary research in the field of Italian and Visual Culture Studies explores the meaning of interdisciplinarity and multimediality using a synergistic approach that combines different methodologies coming from the field of Italian Studies, Digital Humanities, studies on digital cultures and research methods focused on the materiality of the object. Through the application in a laboratory form of the devices used in Digital Humanities, the Winter School stimulates innovative interdisciplinary thinking, and provides participants with the tools suitable for the identification of relationships that affect the multimediality from the textual, visual and spatial point of view, and how it is presented in different media, forms and literary sources in the early modern and contemporary world.

The application deadline is December 10, 2022

Between Conflict and Connection

The theme for this year's conference is "Between Conflict and Connection." This conference seeks scholarly discussion on the significance of historical interactions, both peaceful and violent, and the ways in which these developments continue to impact our present time. In selecting this theme, the conference focuses on histories of struggle, compromise, and identity. Exploring the ways in which historical interactions of people and events generated both division and interrelation continues to shed valuable light on the nature of communal, national, and transnational relations. We welcome papers that examine how conflict has torn some nations and peoples apart, while bringing others together. Scholars whose research highlights nonviolent conflict, such as political strife, trade wars, embargoes, and more are encouraged to apply as well.

 

The Animal Turn

https://networks.h-net.org/node/73374/announcements/11705415/wilson-college-humanities-conference-animal-turn

February 25, 2023, Wilson College’s M.A. in Humanities Program

Some questions that this conference seeks to explore include: how do we think about, question, and reposition the relationship of humans to animals in our scholarship, and what are the consequences of such a revision? Is there an "Animal Turn" of scholarship, and if so, why is it happening now? How is it that our relationship to non-human animals defines who we are as humans, and as a result how we define the Humanities? How do our ideas of animals influence how we treat other humans in terms of race or gender? What are meaningful examples of animal agency, and what new approaches and challenges do these create for cultural work? If speech is what, ostensibly, divides humans from other animals, why is there such a rich tradition of stories featuring animal narrators, and what does animal narration mean? How can non-human animals, and their concerns, find voice?

Abstracts are due by Monday January 16, 2023.

Pedagogy: Using television shows, games, and other media in the Classroom

https://networks.h-net.org/node/73374/announcements/11319450/%E2%80%9Cpedagogy-using-television-shows-games-and-other-media

Vernon Press invites book chapters for a forthcoming edited volume on the subject of “Pedagogy: Using television shows, games, and other media in the Classroom.” As teachers, we often look for creative ways to keep students engaged in our classrooms, while not compromising on teaching the skills that students need to learn. Television shows, games, podcasts, etc. can all be good ways to engage students and help them to connect with the material. Adding non-traditional media to a classroom can also help to engage students at different levels of understanding and with different abilities in ways that traditional readings and lectures might not work.

If you are interested in contributing to the edited volume, please submit your proposal (500-700 words), and biography (100 words) by December 1, 2022 to the book editor, Laura Dumin (ldumin@uco.edu).

 

Untranslatability, Linguistic Multitudes, Embodied Speech

https://interalia.queerstudies.pl/cfps/

InterAlia: A Journal of Queer Studies

There is no language beyond embodiment. However, the question of how language and body belong together is open, open-ended, and controversial. This includes the dimension of technology, which might or might not be seen as an inherent part of embodiment: No_body without technology, though also no technology that doesn’t form a body. Organic, inorganic, digital, virtual, mental, psychic, affective, imaginary embodiments of language. How do these influence understandings of media, mediality, and mediatedness? We invite activists, artists, thinkers, and any combination thereof, to contribute works that explore ideas of language(s) as these are employed by sexual and gender minorities.

Please submit your abstracts by Nov 30, 2022

On Mothering and Black Magic Special Issue

https://networks.h-net.org/node/73374/announcements/11436324/call-papers-mothering-and-black-magic-special-issue

We are seeking to put together a special issue including papers and reflections on literatures of the African diaspora that respond to Gumbs’ demand that we redefine ‘mothering’ as ‘a technology of transformation’ and that engage with mothering beyond womanhood, biology and biological processes. We invite contributors to consider Black mothering in and across the African diaspora – birthing, parenting, midwifery, and other acts – as a type of magic, and magic as a technology of survival. We ask that contributors put forth visions of the generative ways that mothering has sustained, does sustain and could/will sustain us in the face of enslavement, (neo)colonialism and white supremacy; how survival, for those who were not supposed to survive, is a magical, subversive act and process.

To submit a abstract, please send an email with the subject ‘On Mothering and Black Magic abstract’ to leighan.renaud@bristol.ac.uk and jar0118@uw.edu by 1 December 2022.

We seek submissions from a diverse group of feminist-studies scholars, researchers, teachers, administrators, practitioners, intellectuals, artists, advocates, and leaders, drawing on their research as well as personal experiences, that reveal and analyze the effects of a kaleidoscopic set of conflicts, crises, and pressures affecting their lives, scholarship, work, teaching, careers, institutions, and political organizing, particularly those that are a sign of or hold consequences for the health and survival of the discipline of feminist studies as a whole.

Perspectives on Punishment and Decarceration: (The Need for) Recipes

https://networks.h-net.org/node/73374/announcements/11466834/perspectives-punishment-and-decarceration-need-recipes

Penal punishment is a serious political and social challenge. Scotland currently leads the statistics for incarceration per 100,000 population in Western Europe at 134.9, with England and Wales close behind at 131.5. In the United States, almost two million people are currently incarcerated or detained, and another six million are affected by the criminal justice system through parole and courts, the incarceration of family members and friends or through the depopulation of neighbourhoods. Therefore, we invite contributions on punishment and decarceration in the Anglophone world from a range of perspectives. We especially invite voices from those affected and/or involved in the penal system as this issue aims to reach beyond the academic borders, thus enriching scholarly work.

Please send a 200-word abstract and a short bio note to cornelia.waechter@tu-dresden.de and andrea.zittlau@uni-rostock.de by 30 November 2022.

The Cultural Constructions of Race and Racism Research Collective

https://csalateral.org/contribute/ccrrrc/

The Cultural Constructions of Race and Racism Research Collective (CcRrrC) will host a trans-regional network of media makers, scholars, and activists working to help their communities identify and dismantle colorism and anti-Black racism.

With the support of the SSRC, we are excited to recruit paid positions to develop this work. Lateral seeks to engage more than a dozen editors, authors, archivists and other content-related contributions in short-term paid contracts, and up to three short-term paid interns. The bulk of the work is expected to take place between December 2022 and September 2023.

Email ccrrrc.lateral@gmail.com for inquiries related to open positions or potential partnerships/collaborations.

Expressions of interest will be accepted via the submission form through December 2, 2022.

Access to Equality: Reproductive Justice in the United States

https://networks.h-net.org/node/24029/discussions/11063776/call-papers-eaas-womens-network-biennial-symposium-access

March 31-April 1, 2023, Debrecen, Hungary and virtual

Reproductive justice, “the human right not to have a child, but also the right to have children and raise them with dignity in safe, healthy, and supportive environments” (Roberts 2017, xix), seems the only means to reconcile reproductive work and roles performed by women, trans individuals, and non-binary people with their liberty and autonomy. Without such a framework, the undoing of reproductive rights questions women’s, non-binary people’s, and trans individuals’ equality and begs the question as to whether they are seen as inheritors of the nation’s promise to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness.  We encourage paper proposals that examine reproductive justice and democracy as it pertains to American women, trans individuals, and non-binary people throughout all periods of American history represented in a wide range of academic fields such as, for example, social studies, visual culture and media studies, literature, linguistics, law, and medical humanities.

Please submit proposals of up to 250 words, together with a bio of approximately 100 words, by November 15, 2022 to eaaswomensnetwork@gmail.com.

Feb. 9 & 10, 2023, School of Cinema, San Francisco State University

SFSU School of Cinema’s 24th annual graduate conference seeks to examine the state of cinema in the present moment, where audiences are more disparate than ever and analog home viewing is glossed over by disposable media, interactive content, and mass-produced global works. These forms of cinema merit examination as they emerge, come to crisis or mature in the early 2020s. We intend to look back to see how we arrived at this streaming dominated moment and look forward to see what may be coming next, as well as looking inward to question what these shifts have meant for us as audience members, scholars, and cinephiles.  

Please submit abstracts of 200-300 words and a short bio of 100 words  to sfsuconference@gmail.com by October 30th, 2022

From Hogarth to Hypebeast: The Materiality of Popular Cultures

https://networks.h-net.org/node/73374/announcements/11121785/cfp-hogarth-hypebeast-materiality-popular-cultures-april-2023

Material Culture Symposium for Emerging Scholars, University of Delaware April 21–22, 2023

This symposium will explore the dynamic relationship between popular and material cultures across time, place, and medium. By emphasizing the fluidity between material and popular cultures, we encourage critical thinking about the ways people have shared their ideas and cultural fascinations. This conference suggests that “popular culture” is a cumulative archive of human experience. In this way, popular culture is always material, even when it appears otherwise. In addition to exploring the materiality of historical and contemporary popular culture, we aim to consider how the discipline of material culture studies can illuminate our present cultural environment, from porcelains and scrapbooks to Pyrex and slime. How does popular culture inform the stories we tell about our material past?

Proposals must be received by December 5th, 2022.

Black Motion: Looking Our Way Back to Black

https://networks.h-net.org/node/73374/announcements/10927567/call-contributions-special-issue-proudflesh-entitled-%E2%80%9Cblack

ProudFlesh: New Afrikan Journal of Culture, Politics and Consciousness is seeking contributions for a special issue entitled “Black Motion: Looking Our Way Back to Black.” This issue will examine how contemporary black people of both Africa and the African diaspora reinvent and reimagine their identities in terms that celebrate or draw attention to the body. These ways of imagining, representing the body and its various parts have historically played important roles in the lives of both Africans and peoples of African descent. Yet scholars have often neglected to study such representations and their significance in the day-to-day existence, lifestyles, hobbies, performances, and imaginations of blacks living in both the United States and abroad. This special issue of ProudFlesh allows contributors to write about any of these ways.

Contributions must be submitted by January 31, 2023, to each of the three co-editors (Dr. Mary Weems, maryeweems45@gmail.com; Professor Babacar M’Baye, bmbaye@kent.edu; and Professor Mwatabu Okantah,  mokantah@kent.edu).

The Body: A Call for Poetry and Short Fiction

https://thetypescript.com/about/submissions-2/the-body-a-call-for-poetry-and-short-fiction/

The Typescript seeks to publish poetry and short fiction that interrogates “the Body.” At a time when the body is a site of controversy and conflict, as well as a locus of power and resistance, we ask how is identity – the self – embodied? How do bodies interact and interconnect? How does the body stand up to forces of oppression and repression? Submissions may engage with the body as a site of pleasure or of suffering... Putting your body on the line… Bodily transformations, growth, and change… Bodily autonomy… The strength of the body… The limits of the body… Bodies as subjects of knowledge and objects of ideology… Anything that can be embodied, sensed, or experienced by the body.

This is an ongoing call, although we encourage submissions sent by 31 October 2022.

Send your poems and/or short fiction—or cross-genre explorations—to theresa.smalec@TheTypescript.com.

Afrosouthernfuturism

https://networks.h-net.org/node/73374/announcements/11055787/edited-collection-afrosouthernfuturism

Afrosouthernfuturism actively contends with what Saidiya Hartman has described as “the routinized violence of slavery and its aftermath through invocations of the shocking and terrible,” while also shaping worlds within conceptual frameworks of ontological freedom, articulated by Frank Wilderson III as “freedom from the world, freedom from Humanity, freedom from everyone (including one’s Black self).” By imagining Blackness beyond and within the boundaries of the human body, the US SSouth, and the planet, Afrosouthernfuturist texts are vital explorations of the (un)certainty of Black survival and the promise and potential of Black futures.

For inclusion on this collection, please submit abstracts of 250-300 words and a brief bio to afrosouthernfuturism@gmail.com by February 3, 2023.

 

Archaeologies of Displacement: Heritage, Memory, Materiality

https://chs-doha.org/en/News/Pages/Archaeologies-of-Displacement.aspx

This edited book aims to understand how and why the voices of displaced people are so often forgotten in the narratives of globalisation. We will focus on how the trauma of forced migration creates interconnections between material objects, memories, oral histories and people and explore the potential for creating sustainable archaeologies of displacement. Finally, we will examine how the authentic voices and testimonies of refugees can be used to revive the forgotten and unexplored narratives of global displacement.

Queering the Domestic

https://www.dukeupress.edu/Assets/Downloads/GLQ_Queering_the_Domestic_CFP_30-4.docx

This special issue of GLQ asks what it means to queer the domestic—to challenge and reinvent home spaces and practices—by examining the diverse functionings of home for LGBTQ+ people in both the past and the present. This special issue takes these shifts as an opportunity to rethink and reevaluate domesticity, kinship, and care as sites of queer and trans potentiality. We are reminded that home is not inherently a space of violent normativity, but also a space of racialized and gendered work and a capacious realm of contingent relations, scripts, structures, and aspirations. Home is not always a space of negation, death, and no future, but rather a place of survival, persistance, and even joy. It is not necessarily the mess we escape from; it can also be the mess we live with and through. "Queering the Domestic" seeks to investigate these messy relations: the many ways the spaces and practices of home both structure and challenge norms of intimate and collective belonging as they play out in everyday life.

Prospective contributors should submit 500-word abstracts by November 15, 2022.

 

Body and Sexuality: Beyond Cultural Binaries

https://ellids.com/call-for-papers/body-and-sexuality-beyond-cultural-binaries/

While different cultures in history have organised expressions of sexuality into particular categories, the heteronormative paradigms of sexuality oversimplify the lived experiences of body and overlook the pitfalls of essentialism, biologism and naturalism. Adding to these complications is the contemporary medical discourse’s enthusiastic undertakings to configure sexual identity by using these very paradigms. So, the questions germane to this area are: How does the focus on material body and its sexuality makes it a site of socio-political inscription? How does the “pharmaco-pornographic regimes,” to use Paul Preciado’s phrase, reformulate the bodily identity in twenty-first century? How does politics of difference negotiate and overcome the so-called discursivation of gendered bodies?

Submission deadline: 15 November, 2022

Mellon Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Humanities as Social Practice, 2023-24

https://hri.illinois.edu/fellowships-research-support/hri-mellon-post-doctoral-fellowship-humanities-social-practice

The Humanities as Social Practice draw on interdisciplinary arenas of inquiry that have direct impact on contemporary issues. When the humanities are conceived of as a social practice, they have the capacity to move between the academy that nurtures them as fields of study and the communities, local and global, they both seek to serve and must be accountable to, especially in a public research university. As form of “public humanities,” this practice is collaborative and cross-disciplinary, drawing on a range of methodologies and seeks to recognize academic knowledge-making beyond the walls of the university. The search is open to scholars in all humanities disciplines, including the humanities-inflected social sciences, whose research interests lie in the area of community-based social justice and human rights. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, community-based research in racial, im/migrant, and/or gender justice; public health; environmental justice; Indigenous sovereignty; and disability studies.

Application Deadline: November 28, 2022
