]]>Before and Beyond Auschwitz. New conflicts and alternative routes among exclusion, identity and diversity
Università degli Studi di Macerata, Italy
27 28 29 January 2010
Call for Papers
Studies and reflections on Auschwitz (seen) as a paradigmatic event concerning the building and the destruction of both historical and political categories have thoroughly inquired into origins and effects far beyond the 20th-century horizon. These study days aim to propose a re-evaluation of those circumstances (historical, social, political, cultural, philosophical) which, even through progressive dissipations of the sense of (human) limits, led to the formation of regimes where everything seemed possible. Together with this analysis aimed at confronting different approaches and disciplines we attempt to look into the Contemporaneity, especially the new conflicts often accompanying forms of identity closure, in the light of those exclusion/discrimination models which frequently concern the tout court differences. The intent to go beyond Auschwitz, revitalizing an idea of remembrance that is not merely conservative but try to link up with the Contemporaneity, leads to study those forms of conflict oppositions, from the peace movements to the non-violence, grown during the 20th century.
]]> Within this more general framework the following topics will be closely discussed:Minority exclusion and discrimination
Gender violence: woman as subject and object of totalitarian regimes
Peace movements and pacifism
Identity and politics: gender, ethnic and social class
New conflict opposition forms after Auschwitz and Hiroshima
Conflicts in the contemporary world
Biopolitics of field
All research workers, scholars and specialists interested in the convention themes are invited to debate these topics in order to foster confrontation among different prospects and viewpoints on branches of learning.
Who wants to participate in one of the thematic workshops is invited to present an abstract of his/her own speech (max 300 words) not later than September 30, 2009. Proposals must be sent to: csgeneremc@gmail.com or faxed to 0039 0733 258 2551.

California State University, Long Beach
Visual Culture & Global Practices
March 4-6, 2010
Plenary Speaker:
W. J. T. Mitchell, Prof. of English & Art History, University of Chicago
The contemporary situation in humanities and social sciences is often characterized by the so called visual turn, or the increasing emphasis of theory on the power and scope of the visual in everyday life, science, literature, media and the arts. Visual Culture as well as the formation of the field of Visual Studies stems from this renewed focus upon pictoriality and the power of the image, and its expression through various linguistic, visual and media forms.
]]> Visual Culture & Global Practices seeks to examine literature (across time periods and languages), images, visual objects and mechanisms, and events from diverse cultures, across national boundaries, and within global contexts. Among the questions to be explored are:The conference will take place at California State University, Long Beach, March 4-6, 2010. Plenary Speaker is renowned Visual Culture scholar W. J. T. Mitchell, Professor of English and Art History at the University of Chicago, whose works Iconology (1986), Picture Theory (1994), and What Do Pictures Want? (2005) focus on media theory and visual culture.
We invite proposals for papers that deal with the power and role of the image and its relationship to literature and other disciplines and methodologies. Participants from different fields - literary theory and philosophy, aesthetics, film studies, art history and theory, theater, fine arts, graphic design, culture studies, visual and media studies, digital media and electronic arts, sociology, psychology, and cognitive science - are invited to submit an abstract.
Given the topic of this conference, you can also or alternatively represent your work in a poster session. Posters are graphic and textual representations of research. This format, more typical in the sciences than in the humanities, allows for research to be presented to audiences in visual formats throughout the conference rather than at single sessions. Posters are welcomed and encouraged on any aspect of visual cultural study or practice.
To propose a PAPER, please send an electronic 250-word abstract along with an attached c.v. no later than November 16, 2009 to Prof. Nhora Serrano

The Ecole Normale Supérieure of Tunis & The English Department of the Institut Supérieur des Etudes Littéraires et Humaines of Tunis are pleased to announce their second joint conference on
Knowledge: (Trans)Formation
March 3-4, 2010
One of the defining features of our modern life is the unremitting accumulation of knowledge. Indeed, we live in an era governed by a race for knowledge and described by such catchphrases as “the age of knowledge” or “the knowledge society.” In earlier phases of the modern project of Enlightenment, the positive aspects of knowledge were emphasised. Rational knowledge was deemed essential to human liberation and accomplishment. Knowledge, however, has darker sides and may have dire consequences. Francis Bacon’s aphorism, “knowledge is power,” stated some four centuries earlier, operates at its best now. For knowledge, like any other type of power, can be transformed into a tool of coercion.
]]> In our age of impressive development of cognition, it is significant to interrogate the role of knowledge and its effects on individuals, societies and humanity in its entirety. This conference, therefore, will focus on knowledge as a cultural form, liable to produce meanings and construct new socio-political practices as well as modes of resistance. It will attempt to engage a debate on the formation and transformation, uses and abuses, origins and consequences of different types of knowledge.Participants are invited to bring their contribution to the following thematic areas:
Knowledge and artistic production: how can art (literature, painting etc.) construct, manipulate and reorient our knowledge of the world?
Knowledge and postmodernism: does the world provide us with a foundational reality? Is it possible to authenticate any form of knowledge as ‘truth’?
Knowledge and Feminist thought: how can a feminist informed critique destabilize the hierarchal organization of knowledge and the oppressive structures within which it is assembled and propagated?
Knowledge and language: does language mediate knowledge? What is the role of discourse in the production, deployment and development of knowledge? Cross-cultural knowledge and interlanguage.
Knowledge, education and digital technology: how is knowledge produced, disseminated and legitimized in the Academia? How does the electronic revolution affect prospects of human knowledge? How can e-learning and the Virtual Divide reshuffle traditional concepts of education? Can we speak now about efficient education with the chasm separating Digital Natives from Digital Immigrants?
Knowledge and multimedia: what is the role of media, cinema and cyberspace in creating culturally-determined knowledge constructs?
Knowledge and Globalization: what are the consequences of the growing worldwide economic, political and cultural interdependence? How to cope with the uneven distribution of knowledge?
Knowledge, history and representation: how do issues of identity, community, time and ideology infiltrate knowledge systems?
Indigenous or “subaltern” knowledge (memory, heritage, folklore, myths, proverbs, dances etc): how can the revival of indigenous knowledge be a form of resistance?

The Amsterdam School for Cultural Analysis (ASCA) invites proposals for paper submissions and panel sessions for its yearly International Workshop.
How do we analyze, understand, and participate in the world? What are the ways in which we can think through concepts such as aesthetics, identity, politics, and space to articulate the object(s) of our inquiry? These are a few of the questions the 2010 ASCA International Workshop, "Articulation(s)," seeks to explore. The workshop offers a space in which we can reflect upon such questions and the methodological nuances, theoretical consequences, and political implications that arise when we interrogate (trans)national theories, disciplines, and contested object(s).
]]> With its double meaning, to express and to connect, articulation(s) highlights the contingency of the unities of meaning and of discourse(s) that we ascribe to our object(s) in question. Articulation(s) is a generative concept that has been prominent in shaping theory for decades. Working (inter)disciplinarily in the humanities, articulation(s), as a travelling concept, refers to the engaging of objects, concepts, and theories and the (im)possibilities of interrogation.In this workshop articulation(s) is presented in relation to four distinct themes that we will (re)articulate and/or interrogate to see whether they help us express the relationships between theories, discipline, and object(s) from our various fields.
These issues will be discussed in four panels:
National Identity
Migratory Aesthetics
Space
Politics of Mourning
For further information on the panels, visit the website at http://www.hum.uva.nl/asca/news.cfm/2F204DAB-1321-B0BE-A40047342B0FC94F
In keeping with the spirit of tradition, this workshop has been inspired by the 2008-2009 ASCA Theory Seminar entitled "Articulations": Theoretically Speaking.
Participants are welcome to submit proposals from any discipline and will be subjected to peer review. Please submit a short autobiographical sketch (150 words) and your proposal (300 words) to Dr. Eloe Kingma, Managing Director of ASCA (Amsterdam School for Cultural Analysis) via email or post. Please indicate which of the four themes you would like to participate in, and if your presentation will include video, projection, or performance.
Those selected to participate will be asked to provide a 3000 word paper (excluding bibliography) by January 4, 2010, so that the papers can be distributed in advance of the workshop. In order to allow for a sufficient amount of discussion time, papers will not be read. Instead, participants will be asked to provide a short summary of their argument or to respond to another panelist(s)'s paper for a maximum of 10 minutes.
Proposals should be sent to:

]]>The Author-Translator in the European Literary Tradition
Swansea University, 28 June - 1 July 2010
Confirmed keynote speakers include:
Susan Bassnett, David Constantine, Lawrence Venuti
The recent `creative turn´ in translation studies has challenged notions of translation as a derivative and uncreative activity which is inferior to `original´ writing. Commentators have drawn attention to the creative processes involved in the translation of texts, and suggested a rethinking of translation as a form of creative writing. Hence there is growing critical and theoretical interest in translations undertaken by literary authors.
]]> This conference focuses on acts of translation by creative writers. Literary scholarship has tended to overlook this aspect of an author´s output, yet since the time of Cicero, authors across Europe have been engaged not only in composing their own works but in rendering texts from one language into another. Indeed, many of Europe´s greatest writers have devoted time to translation - from Chaucer to Heaney, from Diderot and Goethe to Seferis and Pasternak - and have produced some remarkable texts. Others (Beckett, Joyce, Nabokov) have translated their own work from one language into another. As attentive readers and skilful wordsmiths, writers may be particularly well equipped to meet the creative demands of literary translation; many translations of poetry are, after all, undertaken by poets themselves. Moreover, translation can have a major impact on an author´s own writing and on the development of native literary traditions.The conference seeks to reassess the importance of translation for European writers - both well-known and less familiar - from antiquity to the present day. It will explore why authors translate, what they translate, and how they translate, as well as the links between an author´s translation work and his or her own writing. It will bring together scholars in English studies and modern languages, classics and medieval studies, comparative literature and translation studies.
Possible topics include:
individual author-translators: motivations, career trajectories, comparative thematics and stylistics;
the author-translator in context: literary societies, movements, national traditions;
the problematic creativity of the author-translator;
self-reflective pronouncements and manifestos;
the author-translator as critic of others´ translations;
self-translation: strengths and weaknesses;
authors, adaptations, re-translation and relay translation;
the reception and influence of the work of author-translators;
theoretical interfaces.
Proposals are invited for individual papers (max. 20 minutes) or panels (of 3 speakers). The conference language is English. It is anticipated that selected papers from the conference will be published.

Call for Papers
The Enigma of the Homeland
Editors Catherine Gomes & Olivia Guntarik, RMIT University, Australia
We invite contributions for an edited collection of reflective essays, creative writings and poems that reflect on the meaning of home.
The notion of ‘the homeland’ connotes soothing images of a place deeply rooted in the past. It can refer to the nation as a ‘home’ or a domestic space through the use of familial tropes. The homeland is inextricably tied to the discourse of diaspora and exile – and to ideas of loss, longing and nostalgia. The homeland is one’s birthplace, one that you were uprooted from and perhaps still desired, but could never truly return. Salman Rushdie writes about the idea of ‘imaginary homelands’ to evoke the concept of home in terms of displacement and its instability. Homeland also implies a complex historical connection, a shared memory of the past tied to the land itself. Indigenous cultural knowledge, for instance, often emphasizes a relationship with place and the ancestral beings that created it.
]]> The homeland is an enigma and has become a fluid concept which is not necessarily exclusively associated with country of birth due to the transnational movements of people. Such movements of individuals occur for a variety of reasons that include work, business, lifestyle, study, family, trauma, humanitarian and human rights. Both permanent and temporary migrants have been subject to a wealth of experience that confuses the concept of ‘home’. The fluidity of the concept of home usually lies with the experiences of the migrant both in the home and host country. Some migrants are forced to leave their birth countries because of personal or national trauma (eg. human rights violations, politics, war and natural disasters), while others leave out of choice and for less traumatic reasons (eg. lifestyle, work, study and family). While some migrants settle in their host countries with minimal discomfort, others encounter challenges in settlement such as hostility and suspicion. Some migrants more easily integrate into their host society by perhaps assimilating into already established ethnic or cultural communities. Others find assimilation more difficult because of the lack of community support. However, joining an established ethnic or cultural community can also result in less assimilation into the wider community, therefore creating a dissonance in the concept of home for the migrant.These different notions of home and homeland constitute salient and evocative spatial metaphors, illustrating the ways our lexicon can produce a range of meanings, interpretations and political uses around these concepts. While such ideas and tropes remain pertinent, the extent to which the homeland provokes counter discourses around deterritorialisation, displacement, dispossession, travel, migration and mobility, remain less certain. Such uncertainty invites an urgent call to re-evaluate the meanings attached to the concept of the homeland or what constitutes ‘home’ for people today.
This collection aims to highlight the often ignored intersections between issues of home and host country, the foreign and the familiar, and imaginary and concrete homelands. State-centred views of what constitutes the homeland continue to dominate, but what is apparent is that these limit our perspectives to understanding the connections between home, citizenship, displacement, migration, belonging and identity.
We invite reflective essays, which may address questions such as the following in order to develop new perspectives on concepts of home and homeland.
What are the cultural connotations and semantic implications of the word ‘homeland’?
In what ways is the concept of ‘the homeland’ an enigma?
What does it mean to think of our respective nations/countries of citizenship or birthplaces in the current context of mobility and flux?
What does it mean to desire a lost homeland?
In what ways does homeland embody a sense of nostalgia?
In what ways does the homeland provide a new paradigm of national identity?
What does homeland mean when it is threatened or destroyed by military occupation, invasion, war, genocide, terrorism or natural disaster?
In what ways has travel shaped new ideas about ‘self’ and ‘home’?
If dispossessed people share pasts that are fragmented, is a classical notion of ‘home’ necessary to sustain who they are?
Where is there room for migrants in the space of the homeland as a site of indigenous origins or ethnic homogeneity?
How do migrants find inclusion in the homeland? How are they excluded from the discourses of homeland?
How do migrants and their families identify with their adopted homeland, even if they relocate their homelands elsewhere?
What does it mean to go back and forth between two homes?
How have indigenous, migrant, refugee or settler communities conceptualised the notion of homeland?
We also encourage a variety of types of contributions, including creative submissions, such as storytelling, poems and other alternative formats. Creative submissions may include reflections on the above or following questions:
What is the meaning of home?
Is home associated with the birth country or is it associated with the place of settlement?
What does it mean to return home?
What does it mean to live in exile?
What are your experiences when you return home?
What does it mean to be connected to different cultural spaces?
What are the experiences that you face in terms of identity and belonging when you return to your birth country?
Can you identify with the culture of the place that you left upon returning?
Why leave or choose not to leave home?
Why return or choose not to return home?
A 300-word abstract for academic papers, along with a short biography, should be sent by 30 November 2009 to catherine.gomes@rmit.edu.au
Please send all completed submissions by 1 June 2010.

]]> The goal of the Workshop is to bring together graduate students from around the world and of all disciplines of social science to present papers on issues related to Southeastern Europe. It is an exciting opportunity for students, faculty and others interested in the region to meet and exchange views on issues such as foreign policy, security, civil society, human rights, media, crime and corruption, economic reform, public administration and policy. Graduate students submit proposals for papers to present and then are sponsored to travel to Cambridge and participate in the Workshop.More information about the workshop, including this year's topics and how to apply

We may include a concluding panel that will give an opportunity to those who would like to make a contribution but not necessarily in the form of a written paper, and you are welcome to propose your services as chair (we don’t expect to have discussants as such).
]]> Subject to agreement and obviously to the comments of reviewers, we would hope to make the papers available for consideration as a special issue of Europe-Asia Studies (and probably as a separate book).Do please let us know if you would be able and willing to attend, and if you would wish to offer a formal paper, what its title would be.
