Meeting Description:

In this 25th annual LAILAC graduate student conference, we aim to explore how
the irruption of environmental humanities enriches the possibilities for
sociolinguistic, anthropological, cultural, literary, media, and artistic
studies.

Keynote speakers: Heather Davis and Elizabeth Yeampierre


Call for Papers:

There exists no place on this planet where the trace of human existence is not
felt, whether it be indirectly or directly. Irreversible changes to our Earth
have generated inevitable human resistance, from the anticolonial initiatives
of indigenous groups to the youth marches taking place in the world’s largest
cities. We can classify this current geologic period—marked by the drastic
transformation of terrestrial happenings due to human behavior—with the term
anthropocene. The anthropocene is evidence of the devastating biophysical
consequences of the dominating socioeconomic system of the modern day. Ecology
is inevitably involved in this discussion, as it is central to the uprising
demands in justice, equality, and inclusion that are taking place across the
globe in the fight for survival. In our consideration of the anthropocene, we
ask ourselves: what changes in our modes of being and doing, and what
political actions are fundamental to combat social and ecologic injustices?
The geologic metaphor of the anthropocene spurs us to consider how hegemonic
impositions generate irrevocable erosion in the harmonic structures of life.
At the same time, this current ecologic crisis offers the possibility to
imagine and recognize other political, economic, and discursive orders in the
production, cohabitation, and power relations between all forms of life, human
and nonhuman.

In this 25th annual LAILAC graduate student conference, we aim to explore how
the irruption of environmental humanities enriches the possibilities for
cultural, literary, audiovisual, sociolinguistic, anthropological, media, and
artistic studies related (but not limited to) the following themes:

- Aesthetics and the poetics of the anthropocene
- Ecocriticism: cultural, literary, and visual studies related to the
environment
- Glotopolitics and discursive analysis of climate change
- Capitalism, survival, and precarity
- Indigenous resistance, social movements, and political action
- Borders, transnationalism, legislation, and environmental responsibility
- Diaspora, displacements, and migrations
- Coloniality and decoloniality: biopolitics, affect, and vulnerabilities
- Anti-racist ecology
- Crisis, disasters, and climate emergencies
- Ecofeminism and intersectionality
- Posthumanism
- Material violence: extraction, deforestation, and pollution
- Futures and temporalities: apocalyptic narratives and utopias
