CFP: "URBAN FUTURES - CULTURAL PASTS", AMPS INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE, UNIVERSITAT POLITECNICA DE CATALUNYA


“Urban Futures - Cultural Pasts”, AMPS International Conference,



Every region of the world has its particular cultural, social and artistic heritage. In urban centres this is at its most pronounced. The city, as we see it today, results from a history of planning initiatives, artistic visions, social forces and engineering projects. In thinking about its future, we are obliged to build on its past and its present: its varied buildings and urban plans; its artistic heritage and craft traditions; its design vernaculars and regional practices; its neighborhood bonds and community ties; its economic conditions and social norms, and more. The city then, is a living question: past, present and future.

When thinking about the future of specific cities we are also obliged to think more broadly – to understand the local and the global context in we live: the transnational forces of globalization, the universal concern for sustainability; and the worldwide trends of consumerist cultures etc. In this regard too, the city is a complex issues: a question of specific responses to global issues. The host city of this event, Barcelona, and by extension the whole region of Catalonia, is a perfect example of this and offers examples of the themes this conference will examine.

In addressing the questions and issues raised by the region, this conference opens debates relevant to cities the world over. Across the Mediterranean issues of sustainable futures are paramount. In Europe more widely, the gentrification of traditional neighborhoods is endemic. In North America and Australasia the respect for Indigenous cultures and crafts is urgently needed. In Africa and Asia, how to sustainably design for growth in existing contexts is a pressing problem. In Latin America and the Middle-East, development that avoids the homogenizing forces of globalization is vital. In these contexts this conference argues that these interchangeable global issues are key to our pasts, but also to our sustainable futures.

In response to this call, we welcome perspectives on these themes from various discipline areas. We seek a wide range of knowledge and insights, whether developed in isolation, or in cross disciplinary collaboration.

Examples of particular research areas of interest to the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya include:
  • Community Design & User Autonomy – Challenges & Paradoxes 
  • Material Circularity – Climate Change, & Reuse 
  • Governing the Ecosystem Commons – Governance & Spatial Planning
Other questions of interest to the overall conference include:
  • Urban Futures & Community Pasts – Politics, People & Place 
  • Cultural Pasts & Urban Histories – Gentrification, Heritage & Cities

Event Date: 2024-07-15 to 2024-07-17 

Abstract Due: 2023-07-15

CFP: "DISABILITY'S HIDDEN TWIN: DISCOURSES OF CARE AND DEPENDENCY IN LITERATURE", EDITED VOLUME


“Disability’s Hidden Twin: Discourses of Care and Dependency in Literature”,

edited volume of critical essays


We are calling for abstracts for papers examining Anglophone imaginative literature (precluding memoirs) that engages in some fashion with care ethics and disability theory. We are seeking a range of representation from different eras and regions.

The title of the volume comes from Jennifer Natalya Fink, who writes that “[c]are work is the hidden twin of disability.”[1] And yet, the relationship between carers and cared-fors is vexed. The question of care is controversial for many disabled self-advocates, who view the practice of caregiving with profound suspicion, since care has frequently been a site of oppression for disabled people, both in institutional and home environments. Yet care is necessary for the survival of people who are dependent on others for dressing, bathing, hygiene, transportation, nutrition, and social interaction. Care relations are also controversial inasmuch as family members, frequently female, are time and again forced into the position of caretaker without training or renumeration, and paid caregivers are often migrants from the global south or lower socioeconomic backgrounds who must leave behind their own cared-fors. How has imaginative literature parsed this relationship? What texts give us insights into disabled cared-fors’ need for agency, or caregivers’ feelings about their charges, or the quality of the relationship between them?

Anglophone literary texts from different periods and regions might demonstrate historically alternative practices and expectations regarding the care relationship. We are particularly interested in representations of care in Indigenous, global, African American, Latinx, and Asian culture, and in eras that predate modern medical professionalism, and we look forward to analysis that draws out the gendered and sexual elements of care. We are also interested in the structure of the care community as it develops in literature against the heteronormative couple and the nuclear family, and look forward to submissions that identify and parse care communities and collectives in literature.

Abstracts of approximately 350 words should be submitted as a word document to Chris Gabbard at cgabbard@unf.edu by January 31, 2023. A CV or bio should be included.

Initial selections will be based on the abstract and will be announced no later than April 3, 2023. The deadline for full papers (6,000-8,000 words) is January 5, 2024. Papers will be subject to peer review.

The volume editors are in conversation with series editors at the University of Michigan Press (Corporealities: Discourses of Disability) and Routledge (Interdisciplinary Disability Studies).

    CFP: SPECIAL ISSUE - THE GLOBAL SOUTH AND/IN THE PLANTATIONOCENE (SPECIAL ISSUE ON THE PLANTATIONOCENE)


    Special issue of The Global South:
    “The Global South and/in the Plantationocene”


    According to the United Nations’ environmental risk index, a by-country report on the effects of global climate change, the inhabitants, locales, and economies of global south nations will be disproportionally affected as global warming intensifies. Many of these nations are projected to be hit by a triple whammy: rising populations, combined with already-vulnerable economies and spikes in severe weather events will result in massive disruptions to livelihoods and cultural practices, as well as mass migrations as environmental refugees flee to more habitable areas. The plantationocene, defined by Donna Haraway as a way of drawing attention to the planetary effects of extractive practices, monoculture development, and coercive labor structures that have undergirded modernity and climate change since at least the 1600s, can provide a useful rubric for thinking through human-agented ecological change, especially as these changes unevenly affect different populations and regions. Furthermore, the plantationocene calls attention to the indelible ecological and economic legacies of imperialism including patriarchal and race-based hierarchies, and inequities among diverse peoples based on race, gender, class, and sexual orientation.  This special issue of The Global South examines the productive tensions created by the operative phrase “and/in” when thinking, writing, and living through climate change from the perspective of the global south and/in the plantationocene.


    Possible topics include:
    • Theoretical and hermeneutical discussions of the plantation and/or the plantationocene;
    • Examinations of the effects and the rise of natural disasters in the global south through the lens of the plantationocene;
    • Feminist-, queer-, decolonial-, and critical race studies-based resistances to the legacies, structures, hierarchies, and effects of the plantationocene;
    • Afro-, Arab, Asian, and Latinx futurisms in film, literature, and visual art which intersect with or document the (potential) effects of the plantationocene;
    • Analyses of the plantationocene, its legacies, its imaginaries, and its contemporary neo-isms (such as border factories, globalized trade, non-government organization assistance programs, privatized detention and incarceration, and plantation tourism) as these relate to the global south;
    • Empire-, refugee-, and military-studies discussions of plantationocene construction or deconstruction/resistance;
    • The global south plantationocene and/in the global north;
    • Interdisciplinary and comparative analyses of the plantationocene;
    • Architectural legacies of monoculture crops and their profits;
    • Ecological, animal studies, disability, medical studies, and women’s, gender, and sexuality studies approaches to this topic; and
    • Investigations of the erasures of indigenous peoples through the plantationocene.

    This issue is slated for publication in Spring 2023, so contributors will have a calendar year to draft their complete 7,000-10,000-word essays. Please send abstracts of up to 500 words (in MLA style) and a 100-word biographical statement to guest editors Isadora Wagner and Natalie Aikens, at isadora.wagner@westpoint.edu and nmaikens1@gmail.com, by August 21, 2020.

    CFP: MYTHOLOGICAL EQUINES IN CHILDREN'S LITERATURE


    Call for Book Chapters on
    Mythological Equines in Children’s Literature


    Vernon Press invites chapter proposals on the theme: Mythological Equines in Children’s Literature for an edited collection of the same name in the series Equine Creations: Imagining Horses in Literature and Film, edited by Rachel L. Carazo (Northwestern State University).

    All areas of study, with a common goal of representing the cultural, social, philosophical, and material impacts of mythological equines in children’s literature are invited to participate.

    Francisco LaRubia-Prado recently edited a collection about horses in film and literature. There are also several single essays and general books about horse-themed works. Nevertheless, there have been no other collections on specific themes regarding the cultural, social, material, and philosophical impacts of mythological equines in literature. Thus, even though this particular collection regards mythological equines in children’s literature, other themes will be considered in studies about horses that will follow the completion of this collection.

    CFP: TURNING POINTS: INTERPRETING THE PAST, EXPLAINING THE PRESENT AND IMAGINING THE FUTURE

     

    Turning points: "Interpreting the past, explaining the present and imagining the future" International Conference
    22-23 May - Athens, Greece
    Why "Turning Points"? Because amid history's relentless unfolding come singular years of change. Come fulcrums in time when a genuinely new tomorrow takes hold among people, nations, and states.

    "Do not call it fixity, where past and future are gathered" as the poet wrote, "there is only the dance". Why? What's at work? What's the momentum? Why the decisive moment? Who or what drives the forces that make history's twists and turns happen in the dance of the past to the future? The attractions, the repulsions, the needs?

    This issue is now of particular relevance in light of the recent advanced analysis in the social sciences, history, the humanities and other pertinent domains regarding the hinges of profound alteration that occurred in 1918, 1948, 1968, 1978 and 2018 -- our key case study years. Our Turning Points conference attempts to gather together and expand this work to a new level now that scholarship has achieved an advanced stage of understanding key socio-economic, cultural and policy issues for these times.

    CFP: "FACES OF WAR" INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE

     
    "Faces of War" International Conference 


    The twentieth century, violent and brutal, offers a wide spectrum of material that deserves further analysis. The Great War introduced the first aspects of modern warfare; the Second World War, even more devastating in its atrocities, advanced war further. The Cold War introduced modern society to new methods and technological advancements of warfare, beyond anything our species had seen. The thirtieth anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of Iron Curtain in 1989 altered the balance of global power yet again. Global terrorist attacks and the introduction of electronic warfare have shown us that despite the painful experiences of the past, our world still relies on war and violence to address many of its problems in an endless geopolitical game.

    CFP: 2019 SITUATIONS INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ETHNICITY, RACE AND RACISM IN ASIA


    2019 Situations International Conference Ethnicity, Race and Racism in Asia


    When: Thursday 24 October-Saturday 26 October 2019

    In recent years, the questions of ethnicity, race and racism have come to assume an increasing prominence in scholarly as well as social discussions in Asia. In response to the turbulent global economy, the fracturing of international barriers, and a renewed surge in flows of migrants and displaced persons worldwide, national populist movements have suddenly become a potent and growing political force. Longstanding liberal values such as pluralism, tolerance, and multicultural coexistence have come under challenge, as fears of economic crisis and cultural conflict have given strength to extremist stances across the political spectrum. Finally, the fact that historical barriers have come down between different population groups has resulted in some cases in the intensification of conflicts between them over other explosive fault-lines, such as differences of religious belief that too can take on a racial or ethnic dimension.

    The current rise of populist anger across the West portends a potential revival of the nation- state, which has often had a relatively homogeneous population as its foundation. Alternatively, the fragmentation of social and political systems may indicate a return to older institutional arrangements that could be surprisingly peaceful and tolerant compared to modern multi-ethnic or multi-cultural states because they were more willing to recognize hard cultural differences. What kind of relationship between the old and the new are we likely to see as the nations and cultures of Asia attempt to adjust to new social and economic realities?

    In the Asia of today, what does ethnic diversity and pluralism mean? What kind of impact has globalization had on the relations between different ethnic groups in multi-ethnic states such as Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia? What kinds of conflicts—as well as new modes of coexistence—are being generated by the flow of peoples in accordance with the demand for labor and patterns of investment? How are more ethnically homogeneous nations such as Japan, China, South Korea, and Japan affected by this dynamic? Are there already signs of impending change in these latter, more socially homogeneous, societies?

    In exploring this topic, the 2019 Situations conference welcomes papers on such subjects as:
    • The history of race and ethnicity as Asian ideas
    • Non-Western models of pluralism and diversity
    • Refugee flows and crises around the globe
    • Racial divides and religious differences
    • Diaspora and identity
    • Race, equality, and democracy
    • The future of cosmopolitanism • Race and models of beauty
    • Race, culture, and the high-trust society
    • Multiculturalism, pluralism, and empire
    • Race, ethnicity, and biomedical technologies
    • Belonging and exclusion
    • Flows of labor and capital
    • Challenges to multiculturalism


    Among our confirmed keynote speakers are:
