San Antonio, Texas, March 28-30, 2025
The ASIANetwork Conference Program Committee welcomes
submissions from educators and students to present at the conference next
spring. We teach about and study landscapes, ecosystems, cultures, and
societies in states of constant change and linked in various ways across time
and space within and beyond Asia. The interconnectedness of places and people,
past and present, draws our attention to issues of climate change, structural
racism, and global frictions, among many others. The 2025 Conference theme
invites exploration of points of contact, interdependencies, and boundaries
between eras, regions, and academic foci in the field of Asian Studies.

Contested &
Erased Energy Knowledges
https://energy-philosophy.ac.uk/events_posts/contested-erased-energy-knowledges/
31 Oct – 2 Nov 2024 | University of Dundee & University
of Edinburgh
Today, ‘energy’ is most often associated with the global
North’s – and increasingly the global South’s – vital dependence on the
combustion of fossil fuels needed for heating, transportation and food
production. All are threatened – as we know all too well by now – by
anthropogenic climate change. Although there is no shortage of ‘green’ energy
innovations, many cause more problems than they solve, as the example of wind
farms in Oaxaca, which caused aridification while reinstating colonial
relationships, shows. Building on this work, this transdisciplinary conference
explores philosophical, scientific, historical, artistic and cultural accounts
of contested, suppressed or erased energy knowledges: principles, practices and
inventions. We are particularly interested in proposals for standalone papers,
panels, artistic and experimental interventions or posters that address one or
more of the following relations:

Race, Racialization,
and Resistance: Curriculum, Pedagogy, and Humanities
Seattle University, April 25 – April 27, 2025
We invite proposals from full and part-time faculty of all
ranks without regard to institutional affiliation, including graduate students
and practitioners. Most of the sessions will be on undergraduate education;
there may be sessions on graduate education. Proposals should focus on
examining approaches to reconfiguring curricular practices and/or strategies
for teaching in the college classroom that move toward building out Blackhawk’s
vision of creating a new and usable past. We welcome proposals for
presentations that explore creating curricula, syllabi, and classroom spaces
that center histories and conversations about race and racialization. We also
encourage proposals interrogating practices of resistance deployed by
marginalized or minoritized groups as they worked to confront oppressive
systems and create new worlds free of coercion.
Deadline for Submission: September 22, 2024

The Civil Rights
Movement and the African American Quest for Freedom
Although the Thirteenth Amendment abolished slavery, except
as a punishment for a crime, the record of the United States shows that the
realities of freedom for African Americans has been elusive since the end of
the Civil War. If the hope for Black
equality came to be grounded on the 14th and 15th Amendments, the Civil Rights
Act, 1866 and 1875, and the landmark Civil Rights Act, 1964 etc., the evidence
further shows that African American rights, privileges and immunities, due
process and equal protection of the laws have been unremittingly abridged and
curtailed up to the present. It is
against this background that we must understand the evolution of those social,
economic, and political forces and reform movements aimed at eradicating forced
segregation, Jim Crowism, injustice, discrimination, and disenfranchisement.

Queer Cripping, Art,
and Resistance
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mYMNx2UQIiKp-4rJi-cK2MCRrokVG060/edit
Queerness and disability have long intersected, from the
medicalization of queerness, institutionalization, and the HIV/AIDS epidemic to
contemporary address, such as the ongoing suppression of Trans* healthcare
rights. Queer/crip refusals of closure
offer radical alternatives to assimilationist or reformist politics, reflected
in alternative modes of making and exhibition. We invite artists, researchers,
and curators to share works, from contemporary and historical perspectives,
exploring art objects, practices, and/or institutions that produce, perform,
and/or promote radical queer/crip art and methodologies.

Latinx Oral
Histories: Celebrating the 10th Anniversary of the NIU Latinx Oral History
Project
The Center for Latino and Latin American Studies at Northern
Illinois University invites you to submit proposals for its sixth annual
interdisciplinary conference, Treinta y tres, to be held on November 21-22,
2024. To commemorate the significant contributions of the NIU Latinx Oral
History Project, we are interested in individual and panel proposals that
discuss memory, the practice of oral history, and the importance of oral
histories in documenting Latinxs experiences. We also welcome proposals that
explore the use of oral histories in the classroom and those that examine the
broader impacts and political implications of oral histories outside of
academic spaces. We aim for discussions that acknowledge the strengths and
difficulties associated with conducting, preserving, and accessing Latinx oral
histories.
To submit a proposal, please email: latinostudies@niu.edu by September 16
Deconstructing and
Reconstructing the African American Experience
San Antonio, Texas, February 5-8, 2025
Throughout history, the African Diaspora, specifically those
who identify as African American, have deconstructed and reconstructed their
existence to fit within an evolving world that situates Western thought and
analysis as primary to “other” philosophical traditions. However, just as
ideas, traditions, ways of being, and thinking are dismantled and analyzed
through deconstruction, a framework must also exist for the revived modified
version of the idea, way of being, and thinking. Through a continuous
dialectical process of dismantling ideas, systems, and ways of thinking about
the African American experience, followed by a reshaping and rebuilding of
“modified” systems and ideas through constructivist and reconstructivist
thought, the African Diaspora and African Americans have continuously reworked
the narrative from the traditional Western lens. The continual “reshaped and
reconstructed lenses” are utilized to teach, advocate, and explain the African
American Experience from “our” perspective. These new lenses are utilized to
shape public policy, provide new factual narratives of African American history
and experiences, and also teach the next generation.
All proposals with abstracts must be submitted by November

Global Asias
https://sites.uci.edu/globalasias/ga25cfp/
February 20–21, 2025 UC Irvine
The intellectual paradigm of Global Asias recognizes Asia’s
shifting position in the realm of geopolitics, capital, and culture; this shift
counters or exceeds longstanding narratives associated with that region and
with global ordering more broadly. Global Asias 25 invites submissions that expand
our understanding of “Asia” as a region, discourse, and/or process in relation
to the “global” or the “globe.”
Proposals, along with a two-page CV for each presenter,
should be sent to globalasias@uci.edu by
11:59 PM PT, August 2nd, 2024.
Graduate Conference
in the Humanities: War & Society
https://history.unl.edu/2024-Rawley
University of Nebraska-Lincoln | October 3 - 4, 2024
This conference is designed for participants to interpret
the concept of ‘War & Society’ broadly and in any way. Potential projects
might explore the causes, experiences, impacts, or legacies of war on
societies. Alternatively, projects may explore the technical operations of warfare,
the intersections between militaries and societies, analyze the migration
and/or displacement of people and identities caused by conflict, or reflect on
war in cultural artifacts. Submissions for this year’s conference may connect
work to this theme through traditional academia, digital humanities work,
alternative academic avenues, or other methodologies and perspectives. Please
do not find these suggestions to be limiting - submissions are encouraged to
push the concept of ‘War & Society’ as it fits the applicant's research.
Proposals to rawleyunl@gmail.com no
later than Friday, June 21, 2024,
PUBLICATIONS
Disability Heritage: Participatory and Transformative
Engagement
The inclusion of cultural participation in the 2008 UN
Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities generated widespread attention
to disability in the heritage sector. The majority of this work has focused on
museums, and primarily on accessibility, with a smaller but expanding emphasis
on the representation of disabled lives in collections and exhibitions, and
among a diversified staff. Yet more radical participatory approaches have the
potential to transform heritage at every level, from institutions, people and
practices to events, archives, and memories. The proposed volume moves beyond
existing work to consider a broader range of cultural contexts, including
archives, monuments, (in)tangible cultural heritage such as art and
performance, and the built environment, and to address preservation,
participation, and engagement rather than the more common focus on heritage consumption.

Reimagining Queer
Narratives: Exploring LGBTQIA+ Representation in South Asian Cinema and
Literature
In recent years, there has been a growing recognition of the
importance of diverse representation in cultural productions, particularly
concerning LGBTQIA+ identities and experiences. However, within the context of
South Asian cinema and literature, queer representation remains a complex and
underexplored terrain. South Asian cinema and literature offer rich and
multifaceted depictions of LGBTQIA+ identities, reflecting the region's diverse
cultural, religious, and social landscapes. This journal issue, therefore,
endeavors to offer a comprehensive exploration of LGBTQIA+ representation in
South Asian cinema and literature, shedding light on the complexities,
contradictions, and possibilities inherent in queer narratives. By bringing
together scholars, filmmakers, writers, and activists, this interdisciplinary
dialogue seeks to enrich the prevalent understanding of gender and sexuality in
South Asia and contribute to ongoing discussions on representation, identity,
and social change.
Abstracts should be submitted by July 31, 2024 to Srija

With no mere will to
mastery: Practices of Feminist Writing
https://www.intellectbooks.com/journal-of-writing-in-creative-practice
Across time, artists like Aristophanes, Bertolt Brecht, or
Prem Sahib have challenged this form and linked public speaking with theatre to
expose the underlying operations of language, delivery, and gesture. In what
ways can artistic practices make strange and discombobulate these traditional
orthodoxies of 'the public address'? How can disruption uncover a hidden
authority within language, revealing the representation of ideological
imperatives? We welcome articles on the theme ‘With no mere will to mastery:
Practices of Feminist Writing’. Contributions are sought from artists and
artist researchers exploring feminist writing practices involving public
expression, postdramatic performance, embodied methods, media, technology, and
the global circulation of images. This issue will be guest edited by Dr Jude
Browning and published both online and in print by Intellect Books.
Deadline for Articles (3-5000 words): 29 June 2024
Orientalism and Asian
Studies
https://transnationalasia.rice.edu/index.php/ta/announcement/view/9
Edward Said’s Orientalism
(1978) has profoundly affected teaching and research in Asian Studies, raising
fundamental questions about why and how we study Asia. Nearly fifty years
later, we are faced with a need to reflect on what has changed and remains unchanged
since Said’s seminal intervention in Asian Studies. Specifically, Transnational
Asia is calling for papers that address pedagogical and instructional
issues––in particular, Asian Studies classes in colleges and universities that
engage directly with the themes and critiques raised in Said’s Orientalism and
its reverberating effects.
Prospective contributors are asked to send their abstracts
by August 31 to transnational.asia@rice.edu.
The Rest is Political:
Radical Histories of Repose
A Call for Proposals from the Radical History Review
Rest is everywhere part of quotidian human experience, and
the human body’s need for intermittent periods of restorative unconsciousness
is a universal feature of our shared biology. Yet how societies, communities
and individuals have segmented sleep in time, sequestered it in space and
fought over access to it are matters of historical study. In the wake of the
24-hour workday, chronobiology and other interdisciplinary fields of medical
science and public health research emerged in the second half of the twentieth
century. Yet calls to “slow down” amidst today’s great speed-up seem to have
done little to abate the contemporary public health and social justice crisis. Collectively,
the contributions to this issue, we hope, can redefine spaces of refuge and
shelter, question received ideas about obligatory productivity, and probe the
boundaries between private and public.

Animal Past in the
Anthropocene: Exploring Human-Animal Relationships through Environmental
Humanities
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSef6HnByCgQEgYw3lkiXa8juOjNCaW8we614iRXDt5p_FJneg/viewform
We invite original chapters that indulge in dialogues and
discussions on how we can reimagine our connections with animals and foster a
more sustainable future. Drawing upon its multidisciplinary nature, we seek to
illuminate the multifaceted relationships of animals with humans and
other-than-human species, spanning disciplines such as archaeology,
anthropology, history, sociology, classical studies, cultural studies, and
literature.
The deadline for the chapter proposal abstract is 15th June,

Cyberpunk and digital
rebellion of AI
Call for book chapters for the edited volume
As a literary genre and a form of cultural aesthetic
cyberpunk narratives depict dark visions of the future in which technology,
society, and human existence merge. A major element of this setting is Artificial
Intelligence (AI), which is often portrayed as a powerful, autonomous entity in
cyberpunk universes. In cyberpunk genres, AI typically symbolizes both the
zenith of human advancement and a looming existential danger for human beings.
The dynamic between humans and AI in these narratives not only raises ethical
dilemmas but also highlights the potential conflicts and challenges associated
with the development of advanced AI technologies. With this CfP we address all
colleagues who devote their research to various literary, cultural, and filmic,
linguistic and semiotic manifestations of Cyberpunk and AI in narratives.

Queer Cold Wars:
Pluralizing Homonationalisms and Anti-Gender Movements
https://marynashevtsova.com/call-for-papers/
The proposed edited volume seeks to deconstruct an alleged
bipolarity in international relations and explore the entanglements and
slippages between homonationalism and political homophobia as two global forms
of ideological and cultural domination. Our reference to and modification of the
historical Cold War is intentional. As this concept emphasizes international
political competition, tension, and proxy conflicts between two adversary
camps, scholars have debunked the myth of their monolithic and dichotomic
nature by revealing both the plurality within them and the porosity of
boundaries “separating” them (e.g., Klepikova & Raabe 2020). In theorizing
the contemporary “queer Cold Wars,” the proposed edited volume attends to such
pluralities of actors and political systems that are never uniform or fully
aligned in their goals, seeking to explore the roles of states, supranational
organizations, transnational movements, and local and global communities.
Please submit a 500-word abstract and a short bio (one PDF)
by May 31, 2024 (to maryna.shevtsova@kuleuven.be; tatiana.klepikova@ur.de; emil.edenborg@gender.su.se).

From Ephemeral to
Obsolete: The Vanishing Historical Object
https://escholarship.org/uc/reactreview/submissions
Scholars have recently begun examining the implications of
ephemerality in visual and material culture. From the cyclically rebuilt wooden
shinto shrines of Ise to the reusable infrastructure of Joyous Entries and
royal festivals in early modern Europe, temporary ceremonial objects and sites
gave rhythm and meaning to everyday life (Taws 2013; Oechslin and Buschow
1984). Art and architectural historians of the modern period have interpreted
the global proliferation of fleeting ephemera as an ironic result of the
entrenchment of capitalism (Bauer and Murgia 2021; Ziegler 2018). Ephemerality
is now a key analytic for how contemporary artists, architects, and historians
understand the contemporary landscape, from street art and informal structures
to the politics of the construction industry.
The editors of react/review––a peer review, open-access
digital journal dedicated to research by emerging scholars––seek articles,
reviews, and research “Spotlight” essays for Volume 5 that consider the themes
of ephemerality and obsolescence in art, architecture, and related fields.

Chimeras & Other
Animals. The Cultural Imagination and Conceptualization of Human and Non-human
Animals
https://locus.ou.nl/locus-tvc/call-for-papers
With this special issue of the open access humanities
e-journal LOCUS, we aim to contribute to this shifting perspective.
Specifically, we focus on the imagining and (re)thinking of the relationship
between human and non-human animals. The mythological image of the chimera (a
hybrid creature composed of several animals) serves as Denkbild, literally an image
to think-with. We invite contributions (3000 words) from various scientific and
philosophical disciplines, as well as artistic contributions in the spirit of
this hybrid. How can new cultural imaginations create the conditions for other
ways of seeing?
Deadline for proposals is September 1, 2024.

Feminism,
Antifeminism, and the Mobilization of Regret
https://signsjournal.org/for-authors/calls-for-papers/#regret
Feminism is forward-looking and world-building. Feminists
everywhere can call to mind the manifestos, mobilizations, solidarities,
creative inspirations, legal propositions, and revolutionary paradigms that
inspire us to action and move us toward more just futures. At the same time, we
may also be haunted by obstacles encountered, losses experienced, and regrets
felt along the way. With over fifty years of feminist history behind the
journal—and, we hope, another fifty years of feminist troublemaking ahead—Signs seeks
essays that delineate both how feminists may experience, theorize, and
productively apply the concept of regret and how it may, alternatively,
thwart the development of feminist futures. We welcome papers that engage the
complex dynamics and larger contexts of regret, from the personal, emotional,
and creative realms to the social, political, and empirical; or that consider
how regret converges with or departs from related affective terrains of shame,
guilt, grief, or nostalgia.
The deadline for submissions is May 1, 2025

identity. During each talk we will screen a film or section of film as the
basis of our discussion. By watching films, participating in discussions, and
hearing the directors’ perspectives, attendees will gain a deeper appreciation
of how film serves as a conduit for preserving and sharing the nuanced
narratives of migration and the indelible imprints of memory.

Enduring Legacy:
Conversations On Romare Bearden, Webinar Series
https://wpi.art/2024/04/09/enduring-legacy/
Thirty-six years after the death of Romare Bearden, his art
and life continue to impact contemporary artists and other enthusiasts. His art
is one of multiple inheritances that reference European and American modernism,
dadaism, and civil rights-era artists – and Bearden’s own activism would align
him strongly with the latter. Bearden made powerful statements about the Black
experience while also situating that experience within the universal. His work
defies simple description and categorization, and inspires new avenues of
engagement that resonates with our present moment and contemporary questions of
race in America. This event series features three speakers whose scholarship
and practice engage with Bearden’s formulation of the visual world.
Webinars are recorded.
City eScape: Freedom
Communities in Urban Settings
Thursday, June 6, 2024, Dallas
The Aya Symposium is the outgrowth of a five-year-old
Symposium, held in conjunction with the Texas Purple Hull Pea Festival located
in the historic Freedom Colony of Shankleville in Deep East Texas. The year's
focus is on the unique histories, cultures, and characteristics of Texas
freedom colonies in and near urban centers – especially Houston, Dallas,
Austin, and San Antonio. The day will feature stories of emancipated Black Texans’
migration to these metro areas, (as well as smaller cities (like Beaumont,
Waco, Corpus Christi, Abilene, etc.), and celebrate the countless “Black Wall
Streets” they built upon their arrival.
In addition to sharing celebratory stories of urban freedom
colonies’ pasts, 2024 Symposium presenters will discuss the challenges these
communities in Texas and the U.S. currently face. These include gentrification,
which leads to accelerated property loss, the scourge of past government
zoning, freeways that have split communities in half, planning and eminent
domain decisions, and how/why these communities tend to be located in or near
flood prone areas, industrial sites and/or dumps.

Foucault: Art,
Histories, and Visuality in the 21st Century
May 29, 2024 - May 30, 2024
The French philosopher Michel Foucault’s (1926–84) work has
greatly influenced artists and art scholars in many ways, from reimagining
subjectivity to scrutinizing art institutions. Owing to the posthumous
publications and archival discoveries, Foucault’soeuvre continues to shape
current discussions on methodological, political, and ethical assumptions
regarding visualities and art histories. The symposium proposes to reassess
Foucault’s legacies in the fields of art research and creation from critical
perspectives informed by urgent issues, such as decolonization, race, gender,
post-truth, artificial intelligence, and diaspora. We will ask: How has
Foucault’s thinking—ultimately concerned with human existence in a time of
crisis—emerged from and contributed to the visual arts and material culture?
We will post information on livestreaming on the official
event page in the coming days. Please revisit this page for the update. https://www.ocadu.ca/event/foucault-art-histories-and-visuality-21st-century
