Meeting Description:

Transitions and states of inbetween-ness offer us an opportunity to reconsider
the restrictions of binary concepts and the hegemonic discourses that often
accompany them. An exploration of these states of change and shifting
existences is enriched through a study of literary discourse, linguistic
complications, and artistic and cultural representations. These transitory
modes encourage our contemplation of their existence and formation. They allow
us to consider how they arrived to such a point (if they have indeed arrived
at all) and to contemplate the nature of questioning and engaging with the
process of naming said becomings. Such states of becoming can be sudden and
unexpected or span long periods of time and great contemplation. These acts of
transition engage with, interrogate, and create a space to examine established
structural notions that have endured linguistic, historical, and cultural
representations. What happens within such states of change/fracture/becoming?
What value can be found by remaining in the threshold? What is the importance
of naming and calling out these transitions?


Call for Papers:

We invite those interested from any field to submit proposals that explore the
theme of transitions. Topics may include, but are not limited to:

Affect Studies, Alterity Animal Studies, Art and Activism, Art in the

Studies, Race & Ethnicity, Visual Culture...

We welcome panels and individual presentations in English, Portuguese, or
Spanish that theorize, critique, or re-contextualize the conference theme from
medieval to contemporary times. Presentations should not exceed 20 minutes in
length (7-8 typed pages, double-spaced). Proposals containing a 200-250 word
abstract, up to 3 keywords and a brief biography that includes
institutional/organization affiliation and contact information may be
