Literacy Pedagogy and Literary Study

How might attention to literacy pedagogy reshape the study of literature? This panel invites historically grounded and theoretically engaged papers that place literacy instruction at the center of literary inquiry, and that consider questions such as: how have pedagogies of reading shaped what counts as literature, interpretation, and aesthetic judgment? What happens when literacy is understood not as a preliminary skill but as an ongoing formative practice? What institutional structures, gen

Filmic Ruptures and Black World-Making: Cinema as Epistemology in African and Afro-Diasporic Contexts

It was a few years after the eve of Senegal’s independence that the first film made by an African was produced, as a way of offering an African account of Black struggles and living conditions. Ousmane Sembène viewed cinema as a more powerful medium for conveying African realities because it does not require literacy to grasp its message, making it a more effective tool for explaining the lived realities of Africa. A similar approach can be observed in the work of Alain Kassanda,

Public Humanities: The Sports Issue

Sports offer entry to culture, history, and intellectual debate for people who enjoy the world of ideas yet find academia inaccessible. For many young folks, sports are training for life, a place where you learn how to work hard, be a part of a team, connect with your community, and deal with success and failure. For the adults who have shifted from players to fans, sports — like art — provide prompts for laughably intense emotional experiences, connections with other human beings

Journal CFP, Chiasma: A Site for Thought Vol. 11: "The Question of Sovereignty"

Chiasma Volume 11: The Question of Sovereignty
Theme and Scope:

Sovereignty, often imagined as the fixed and self-contained authority of the modern state is historically inseparable from colonization, which transforms it into a technology of conquest that divided populations into those protected by law and those rendered exploitable outside it. Citizenship for the metropole, subjugation for the colony exposed sovereignty as a project of territorial expansion rather than a un

Impregnable: Mediated Meanings of the Body in Resistance

CALL FOR PAPERS
Impregnable: Mediated Meanings of the Body in Resistance
Impregnability has many strong meanings - not becoming pregnant but also capable of withstanding assault. It's a term that lives in connotative alignment with infertility, of non- and un-reproducibility, but it also carries presence over absence, power over victimization. Think protesters who link arms to create an impregnable wall of resistance. Think castles that cannot be stormed. Indeed, the word literally

Negations and Interruptions as World-Building: Tactics of (e)Coresistance Against Capitalism for Human and More-Than-Human Flourishing

Under capitalism, we live separated from life. Capital’s extractive colonizing domination keeps us separated from nature, from each other, and from our own bodies, denying us a symbiotic and regenerative relationship with the natural world and with each other. Yet, certain types of bindings are integral to capitalism: capitalism depends on the combination of labour and nature for the production of value; the “emergence of capitalist accumulation and the reproduction of capitalist
