CFP for Special Issue of Canadian Ethnic Studies: „Pandemic Perspectives: Racialized and Gendered Experiences of Refugee and Immigrant Families in Canada“

Deadline: November 15, 2021

This special issue on the impact of the pandemic on refugee and immigrant families in Canada seeks to capture the gendered and racialized experiences of families of refugees and immigrants during the pandemic. The pandemic has amplified many of the existing underlying inequities including racial injustices and gender-based discriminations. Racialized refugees and immigrant families in Canada were especially vulnerable to the marginalizing social outcomes of the pandemic. For instance, during the pandemic hate crimes against Asian and Muslim immigrants and refugees has been at an all-time high in Canada; college educated immigrant women have experienced the highest rates of unemployment; immigrant careworkers of colour have died at disproportionally high rates; and refugee families have experienced prolonged family separations, barriers to health care and higher rates of domestic violence.

Call for Contributions: ReVisions – Speculating in Literature and Film in Canada (essay collection)

Edited by Wendy Roy, University of Saskatchewan

Deadline: February 1, 2022

During a global pandemic, the ways that speculative fiction, film, and television comment on the present as well as the future have become acutely evident. These genres ask readers to consider environmental, health, technological, and political events and developments in the world today, and the impacts these may have on the world of the future. They are often used by their creators to represent and speculate on key societal issues, such as relations of class, gender, and race, as well as issues of health safety, environmental destruction, and political conflict. In Canada, speculative writing has become a tool to interrogate colonial systems and histories, and to open up spaces for members of often marginalized groups, including women, Indigenous peoples, members of LGBTQ2S+ communities, and others whose lives are inflected by cultural difference. A variety of speculative worlds have achieved popularity through films and television/internet series, some of which are adapted from other genres.

We invite submission of academic papers and creative works that explore or put into practice the re-envisioning/revision of futures and societies in or relating to Canada. What do speculative texts tell us? Which visions of “Canada” do we find in speculative texts? How do these visions reflect our own perceptions of the world? Does this kind of literary and/or visual imagination offer space for grief, resilience, and hope? Does it help us respond constructively to crises or achieve social change?

CFP: Transatlantic Diasporas

Annual Meeting of the French Colonial Historical Society (FCHS)

College of Charleston, Charleston, SC/USA

May 12-14, 2022

Deadline: November 15, 2021

https://frenchcolonial.org/annual-meeting/

The 46th annual meeting of the French Colonial Historical Society (FCHS) will take place in Charleston, SC in conjunction with the Carolina Lowcountry and Atlantic World Program (CLAW) and the Huguenot Society of South Carolina. Conference events will take place on the campus of the College of Charleston and conference associated activities will occur in historic downtown Charleston.

This year’s theme will be “Transatlantic Diasporas,” which invites participants to reflect on the diasporic networks that defined the French colonial world. These might include religious diasporas and networks such as the Huguenots; political dissident groups like the émigrés who fled the French Revolution; or planters who fled the Haitian Revolution; or diasporas of Africans or indigenous people who scattered around the French colonial world and interacted in various ways with colonial and imperial power structures. We are especially eager to receive proposals connected to Africa, the French Caribbean, and connections of these places to other colonies in the Americas. The Society encourages students, scholars, and educators from all disciplines to submit proposals. Papers may be delivered in English or French.

Individual paper proposals should include a 100-200 word summary with the title of the paper, name, institutional affiliation, e-mail address, and phone number, and a brief curriculum vitae, all integrated into a single file, preferably in MS-Word.

Proposals for complete panels or round tables will contain the same information for each participant, as well as contact information and a short C.V. for the moderator if one is suggested. The program committee can help find moderators, if necessary. Individuals wishing to moderate a session should send a statement of interest, contact information, and a brief c.v. as well.

Please indicate in your proposal whether audiovisual equipment is required. Given the higher than normal anticipations of travel restrictions and potential of traditional in-person presentations, please indicate if you/your panel would be willing to adapt your presentation to a strictly digital format using Microsoft Teams or Zoom.

Individual or panel proposals will be accepted between September 30 and November 15, 2021. Please send proposals to frenchcolonial2022@gmail.com

Graduate students who wish to be considered for the Shorrock Travel Award should indicate so on their proposal, and should include an estimated budget of travel expenses and other anticipated sources of funding with their application.

Given the specific partnerships between the three institutions, conference fees include one free annual membership to any of the three participating institutions and receipt of access and privileges associated with those specific affiliations.  During registration, you will be able to selection a membership of your choice.  Lifetime members of each organization will be required to submit the conference fee to cover organization and execution of the conference.

Additional information about the Society’s scholarly activities, fellowships, and past conferences is available at www.frenchcolonial.org.

Appel à contributions: Cupidité, fantasme(s), convoitise. Regard critique sur la richesse et ses excès dans les littératures d’expression française en Amérique (XVIe-XXIe s.)

Appel à contributions pour un ouvrage collectif

Date limite pour soumettre une proposition : 15 octobre 2021

« L’argent ne fait pas le bonheur. » Cette maxime, amendée, détournée, critiquée à profusion, et que l’on retrouve sous diverses langues, époques et tournures, met en évidence, dans une perspective quelque peu moralisatrice, une incompatibilité présumée des notions de richesse et de félicité. Pourtant, si la polysémie du terme « (bonne) fortune » en est une quelconque indication, la richesse est tout de même gage d’une certaine aisance, menant bien souvent à un sentiment de satisfaction2, toutes proportions gardées. Mais qu’en est-il des excès qui découlent de l’accumulation de richesses ? Quand est-ce que la richesse devient-elle « trop », maladive, voire obsessionnelle ? Et par quelles variables définir ce que l’on peut/doit –ou non– qualifier d’excès, de trop-plein, de démesure ?
