CFP: "Whole Worlds: Systems of Affect, Capital, Aesthetics" at Univ. of Chicago

THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO Department of English invites graduate student proposals for conference papers for "Whole Worlds: Systems of Affect, Capital, Aesthetics". The conference will be held February 13th-14th, 2014 and seeks papers that are at the intersections of affective, political, and aesthetic theories under the concepts of wholeness and worlds. Submission deadline: November 1st, 2013.

Call for Proposals: WHOLE WORLDS: SYSTEMS OF AFFECT, CAPITAL, AESTHETICS
Annual Graduate Student Colloquium of the University of Chicago Department of English
Keynote Speaker: Mark Seltzer, Evan Frankel Professor of Literature at UCLA
February 13-14, 2014
Literary and cultural study have developed overlapping vocabularies to triangulate "worlds" on multiple scales: psychoanalytic worlds invested in the labor of repair, the sociocultural worlds of artistic and political community apprehending a space for multiplicity to endure, and global worlds of transnational capital that totalize the capture of exchange. With so many worlds, is there a whole world or a world that is whole? What marks off a space as a world and what mechanisms mediate between a world and its own sense of wholeness? What are the parts that compose a whole world or the procedures that give to a world the fantasy of wholeness? What is the place of art-objects in developing and sustaining worlds and in what ways do worlds either totalize or resist closure?
The University of Chicago Department of English invites graduate student proposals for conference papers at the intersections of affective, political, and aesthetic theories under the concepts of wholeness and worlds. Possible paper topics may focalize literary or cultural texts from any period and may engage in conversations with such fields and subjects as:
•psychoanalysis and the management of part- and whole- objects;
•systems theory and the autopoiesis of worlds;
•literary realism and the mediation between aesthetic and political worlds;
•fictional worlds theory and the administration of novelistic space;
•global capital and the transnational organization of cultural exchange;
•ecological criticism and the preservation of symbiotic worlds;
•new media, virtual worlds, global connectivity, and the nodes of immaterial networks;
•game worlds and the demarcation of spaces of play;
•empire, sovereignty, and exceptional spaces;
•population studies and the control of cultural and social worlds;
•ambient poetics and the curation of atmospheric reading environments;
•queer counterpublics assembled in and against homonationalism;
•speculative realism and the mereology of object-oriented ontologies;
•art objects and collectives as representative or subversive microcosms;
•computational methodologies and mapping world literatures;
•periodization and the compartmentalization of world-historical time; and
•archival worlds in and against world canons.
Submit 250-300 word abstracts to wholeworlds.uchicago@gmail.com by November 1. Please include a brief academic biography. Presentations will be about 20 minutes in length (approx. 8-10 double spaced pages).

"Where Do We Go From Here?"
A Queer Commemoration of the March on Washington
Sponsored by the Steven J. Schochet Endowment for GLBT Studies
Saturday, August 24, 2013
11:00 AM - 6:30 PM
Powderhorn Park Recreation Center
3400 15th Avenue South, Minneapolis
- Day of Workshops
- Multi-generational Keynote Panel
- Lunch and Post-Teach In BBQ will be provided
August 28, 2013 marks the 50th anniversary of the historic March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, which brought over 250,000 people to the National Mall in Washington, DC to demand civil rights and an end to Jim Crow. The march and the larger the Civil Rights Movement has influenced and helped shape other social justice movements that continue to fight for marginalized people around the world. Though its impact was undeniable, common narratives of the Civil Rights Movements often simplify its objectives.
The movement's emphasis on peace, economic justice, and labor rights are not to be overlooked. Neither is its importance to the LGBTQA community. Not only was its principal organizer, Bayard Rustin, an openly gay black man, but the Civil Rights Movement has been a model and an inspiration to the LGBT movement, the HIV/AIDS movement, and many others.
As we gather on Saturday, August 24th, we invite the Twin Cities' LGBTQ community to think about the intersections of sexuality with race, class, gender, disability, and so on. We hope to build a fruitful dialogue that will help to build a stronger LGBT movement, one that will serve us all.
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO PRESENT A WORKSHOP, please contact Robert Smith III at smit7169@umn.edu.

UMN Libraries Resources for Fall semester

OUR LIBRARIAN NANCY has compiled resources that might be useful for faculty and instructors during the fall semester. To view her messages and resources, please continue reading.

Messages from Nancy:
Hello!
Fall 2013 is almost here and our Course Reserve Service is here to help!
Course reserve is available on-site or online. Both appear in the Library Course Page, making them easy for students to find and access. The service is free and allows students equal access to materials - right from the class Moodle page! As I announced earlier, I have created a Course Page for every class offered in each of my departments for Fall term. I hope you will let me know of any changes/ideas/reactions/comments that you or your students have concerning this general page.
On-site reserve - of books, films, or course packets shelved at any Twin Cities campus library - is also available. To submit an on-site reserve request, just email a list of items you'd like placed on reserve to the contact for the campus library you'd like as your reserve site. Contacts for reserve sites can be found here:
https://www.lib.umn.edu/services/reservesites
Electronic reserve (eReserve) is available online 24/7 and can include a variety of materials--excerpts from books, direct links to articles from e-journals, video clips, slides from class lectures, and more. In Summer 2013 we launched a new eReserve system called Reserves Direct, which is compatible with mobile devices and will display readings in a course's Moodle site.
To request an eReserve site, just email your reading list or syllabus to wilsrsv@umn.edu. Please consider fair use when submitting an eReserves request, as instructors are responsible for assessing that materials submitted to eReserve constitute fair use under copyright law.

- - - - - - - -
Metrics are the current passion in the Libraries - so using our wonderful resources is important to keeping them for your use! AMST CourseLib Page - Fall 2013.jpg
To hopefully help get students into some of our great databases and online reference tools that can only help them in their studies - regardless of whether the class is writing intensive, writing through the curriculum or whatever!
At the bottom of each page (they are pretty generic) is a link to the full list of guides to the literature of AMST so they can still get to the more indepth information.
If you are teaching and would like to include some additional links or resources, just let me know.
These more specialized pages will now be linked to students' Moodle pages for the Fall classes. I've attached a pdf of a sample page for your information.
Comments? Questions? Just let me know!

Cornell University Society for the Humanities Fellowships 2014-15

APPLICATIONS ARE INVITED FOR six to eight fellowships for the 2014-15 academic year at Cornell University's Society for the Humanities. The focal theme for the year is "Sensation", and they seek interdisciplinary research projects that reflect on philosophical, aesthetic, political, ecological, religious, psychoanalytical, and cultural understandings of sensation as a concept and experience that lies at the heart of the humanities and the arts. Applicants should be working on topics related to the themes and must have received a PhD before January 1st, 2013. Application deadline: October 1st, 2013.

SOCIETY FOR THE HUMANITIES FELLOWSHIPS 2014-2015
The focal theme for 2014-2015 is "Sensation." Six to eight Fellows will be appointed. Selected Fellows will collaborate with the Director of the Society for the Humanities, Timothy Murray, Professor of Comparative Literature and English and Curator of the Rose Goldsen Archive of New Media Art, an international research center on new media. The Senior Invited Fellows will be Lauren Berlant, George M. Pullman Professor of English, University of Chicago, Saba Mahmood, Associate Professor, Department of Anthropology, University of California at Berkeley, and Susanna Siegel, Edgar Pierce Professor of Philosophy, Harvard University.
Focal Theme 2014-2015 SENSATION
The Society for the Humanities at Cornell University seeks interdisciplinary research projects that reflect on philosophical, aesthetic, political, ecological, religious, psychoanalytical, and cultural understandings of sensation as a concept and experience that lies at the heart of the humanities and the arts.
We invite considerations of how sensation might be inherent to the humanities across historical periods, disciplinary boundaries, geographic territories, and social contexts. From the earliest writings on poetics to more recent theories of mood, affect, and feelings, how might sensation shape the aesthetic experience? How have theories of the sensing body and the sensational shaped the performing and the visual arts? Has sensation been equally important to theories of poetry as to tragedy? Is the "literature of sensation" primarily a nineteenth-century phenomenon of the Anglophone novel or does it stretch across the globe and ages? To what extent do discourses of sensibility and sentiment across the arts intersect with histories of research in human physiology and explorations in global culture? Some scholars might consider how artistic, theatrical, and musical experiments capitalize on the senses of touch, smell, sound, and taste.
Sensation is central to philosophical and theoretical traditions. While the philosophy of mind/perception reflects on the nature of sensory content and how concepts organize sensation, epistemological and phenomenological approaches to sensation examine the role of perception as well as the impact of the senses. Applicants might also want to consider how theories of the sublime span the disciplines when researching mathematical and dynamic approaches to sensation. Important to criticism in the arts, literature, and music, the sublime also influences more recent psychoanalytic approaches to trauma just as earlier studies of hysteria and neurosis have focused on the sensory. And while recent anthropological studies critique psychoanalytic theories of sensation for false understandings of indigenous culture, other approaches consider how factors of religion, gender, race, and class shape the regulation of sensation. Could the "intersubjective" nature of
sensation even destabilize liberal theories of human agency?
Scholars also might consider the sensations of discomfort, anxiety, and vulnerability, all of which touch on recent studies in precarity, whether related to poverty, the environment, or social struggle. Touch itself, from the mythical/mystical power to heal by touch to the refined touches of the sculptor or keyboard player, might also be an object of inquiry. In the virtual realm, recent experimentations with sensor technologies open the realm of sensation to questions of the human, the animal, and the machine, just as "the sensational" subtends popular culture and mass media.
The Society for the Humanities welcomes applications from scholars and practitioners who are interested in investigating this topic from the broadest variety of international and disciplinary perspectives.
Cornell's David R. Atkinson Center for a Sustainable Future co-sponsors one fellowship to support scholarly work addressing sensation as it relates to energy, the environment or economic development.
QUALIFICATIONS: Fellows should be working on topics related to the year's theme. Their approach to the humanities should be broad enough to appeal to students and scholars in several humanistic disciplines.
Applicants must have received the Ph.D. degree before January 1, 2013. The Society for the Humanities will not consider applications from scholars who received the Ph.D. after this date. Applicants must also have one or more years of teaching experience, which may include teaching as a graduate student.
APPLICATION PROCEDURES
Candidates should inform the Society of their intention to apply by returning the attached form immediately. The following application materials must be postmarked on or before October 1, 2013. Faxed or emailed applications will not be accepted.
1. A curriculum vitae and a copy of one scholarly paper no more than 35 pages in length. Applicants who wish to have their materials returned should enclose a stamped, self-addressed envelope.
2. A one-page abstract in addition to a detailed statement of the research project the applicant would like to pursue during the term of the fellowship (1,000-3,000 words). Applicants are also encouraged to submit a working bibliography for their projects.
3. A brief (two-page) proposal for a seminar related to the applicant's research. Seminars meet two hours per week for one semester (fourteen weeks) and enrollment is limited to fifteen graduate students and qualified undergraduate students.
4. Two letters of recommendation from senior colleagues to whom candidates should send their research proposal and teaching proposal. Letters of recommendation should include an evaluation of the candidate's proposed research and teaching statements. Please ask referees to send their letters directly to the Society. Letters must be postmarked on or before October 1, 2013.
Send 3 copies of the full application and letters of recommendation to:
Program Administrator Society for the Humanities A.D. White House 27 East Avenue Cornell University Ithaca, NY 14853-1101

We invite papers which extend recent debates about homonationalism and "slow death" to consider the ways in which queer attachments to and resistance of capital, globalization, and the state trouble dominant notions of progress. We encourage presenters to consider the multitude of ways in which investments and attachments can be or have been made queerly: investment in communities, in institutions, in movements, in "the future," in citizenship, as well as time and monetary investments; and attachments to debt, relationships, dreams, contracts, medicine/medical interventions, to prosthetics, identities, to cultural and political obligations, to liberalism, radicalism, and so on.
We hope to create a vibrant space for intellectual exchange with an emphasis on interdisciplinary scholarship. We welcome submissions from graduate students from a wide range of fields, including gender and sexuality studies, ethnic studies, American studies, geography, history, education, media and communication, sociology, and cultural studies, among others.

CFP - SGMS: Mechademia Conference on Asian Popular Cultures

SMGS: MECHADEMIA CONFERENCE on Asia Popular Cultures invites submissions for conference presentation panels. The conference will be held at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design September 27th - 29th, 2013 and explores and celebrates global popular cultures influenced by anime and manga. Submission deadline: August 20th, 2013.

Register at: http://mcad.edu/events-fellowships/schoolgirls-mobilesuits/2012-registration
Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/SGMSatMCAD
For conference presentation panel, submit suggested panel title, and all abstracts, participant names and contact information; or for singular presentation paper submission, please send contact information and a 200-word abstract by August 20, 2013 to: Gretchen Gasterland-Gustafsson at: gretchen_gasterland-gustafsson@mcad.edu
Based on the book, Mechademia 5: Fantropologies, SGMS: Mechademia Conference will explore the breadth of fandom and fan cultures. Popular cultural objects and fans -- or otaku -- are at the center of an ever-expanding network of influences, differences, obsessions, practices, knowledges and performances. Fans have transformed Japanese popular culture into a pervasive global discourse. Fanthropologies will address the vast but disparate movements that have begun to define communities across ethnic and national boundaries. Communities linked by common passions and conceptions are sewn together by conventions, web sites, blogs, downloads, and other performative practices.
Mechademia - the book series and the conference -- creates new links between different communities, challenges the hegemonic flows of information, and acknowledges the broader range of professional, academic, and fan communities rather than accept their current isolation. This conference will move beyond pejorative or self-satisfied stereotypes of fandom to reveal the plurality and the potential agency of this emerging subjectivity and community. We aim at more than an ethnographic map of the fan landscape--more than case histories of fandom, or other approaches that might isolate or exoticize the fan. Instead, we seek proposals from a range of disciplines that investigate, interrogate and theorize the ruptures and the peculiarities that define fans and their unique communities - both actual and virtual.
With the addition of our special guest, Azuma Hiroki, the conference will also be looking at the political and economic issues, as well as issues of emerging changes in the self conceptions of the Japanese people after and around the Fukushima disaster. Azuma's controversial work in situating a future Fukushima as a tourist site and the concomitant implications for fan-like communities will enhance the scope of our study. Discussions and papers around the issues and fan structures evolving from this momentous event will also be welcomed.
Our subject area extends from the fandoms associated with anime, manga, games, subcultural fashion, and art, fan-based global practices and disaster issues associated with Asian popular cultures. Proposals may include textual readings that problematize the fan experience, critical theories of fandom, and investigations and excavations of fan-produced texts and performances.
The submission deadline is August 20, 2013. Presentations should be no longer than 20 minutes in length. Projection and other technical facilities will be available in all conference session rooms. Details on hotel accommodation and schedules will be forthcoming. Check the SGMS Facebook site for updates.
