SUMMARY:Proletkult and the Languages of Modernity
DESCRIPTION:Proletkult refers to the Proletarian Cultural-Enlightenment Organization (Proletarskie kul’turno-prosvetitel’nye organizatsii). The institution was autonomous from the Bolshevik party\, but is regarded by many as the cultural arm of the revolution. Founded in 1917\, it was tasked with developing radical avant-garde aesthetics tailored to the working classes and their emergent role in modern industrial culture. \nProletkult peaked in 1920\, when it spread like wildfire before its imminent demise. Despite its short lifespan\, it was widely influential. This workshop aims to explore Proletkult from the original angle of language\, translation and collective identity\, in both Marxist and non-Marxist keys. Topics covered include: the polemics between Lenin and Proletkult in the shadow of the literacy campaign in the USSR\, the British reception of Proletkult\, Chinese modernity in translation\, Soviet sociolinguistics and Gramsci’s linguistic modernity\, transnational ethnopolitics along the EU-Russian border and Ljudski Oder between Slovenia\, Italy and the international Proletkult. \nSpeaker bios and abstracts \nBOOKING TO OPEN SHORTLY \nImage: poster by Vladimir Mayakovsky. \nThis event is organised by the Institute of Modern Languages Research and the Open World Research Initiative (OWRI) Cross-Language Dynamics: Reshaping Community\, Translingual Strand.

SUMMARY:Making Theatre in Exile
DESCRIPTION:Delving into a suitcase full of sketches\, songs and letters\, the theatre group [Foreign Affairs] brings to life the story of the Laterndl theatre in Hampstead\, established by a group of exile actors and writers from Nazi-occupied Austria during the Second World War. Rekindling the Viennese tradition of political cabaret\, they reflect on their new surroundings and hopes for the future\, and bring a beacon of light to the 30\,000-strong traumatised refugee community. The Laterndl received wide critical acclaim and soon came to symbolise the community’s resistance to Nazi terror and assertion of an independent Austrian identity and culture. \n‘Making Theatre in Exile’ re-discovers the Laterndl through the work of the Research Centre for German & Austrian Exile Studies on the Martin Miller and Hannah Norbert-Miller Archive\, deposited in 2001 at the Institute of Modern Languages Research (University of London). \nPerformed in the original German and English\, this project has been made possible by sponsorship from the Miller Trust\, the Being Human Festival\, the Austrian Cultural Forum London\, and the Open World Research Initiative (OWRI). \n\nDoors open for the 1st performance at 6 pm \nDoors open for the 2nd performance at 8 pm \nAttendance is free\, but seating is limited and advance online booking is essential.  Seats are not numbered\, and are allocated on a first come\, first served basis. Each performance will last approximately 2 hours. \nBOOKING FOR 6PM PERFORMANCE – OPENS 1 SEPTEMBER \nBOOKING FOR 8PM PERFORMANCE – OPENS 1 SEPTEMBER \nVenue Notes \nThe Hampstead Jazz Club is located in the basement cellar of a 1721 pub. There is no stair-free access. Persons with limited mobility can use the external staircase which has railings.\nThere is a bar for drinks in the Club; booking a table for dinner upstairs in the Duke of Hamilton at least one hour before the start time is recommended. \nHow to get there \n\nThis event is part of the Being Human festival\, the UK’s only national festival of the humanities\, taking place 14–23 November.   Led by the School of Advanced Study\, University of London\, in partnership with the Arts & Humanities Research Council and the British Academy. \nFor further information please see beinghumanfestival.org

SUMMARY:Translating Women: Breaking Borders and Building Bridges in the English-language Book Industry
DESCRIPTION:Deadline: 17 May 2019\nConference dates: 31 October – 1 November 2019\, Senate House\, University of London \nOrganisers: Dr Olga Castro (Aston University)\, co-editor of Feminist Translation Studies (Routledge\, 2017).\nDr Helen Vassallo (University of Exeter)\, principal investigator of the Translating Women project.\nDr Godela Weiss-Sussex (IMLR/OWRI\, co-director Centre for the Study of Contemporary Women’s Writing). \nTranslated literature notoriously accounts for only 3.5% of published literature in the English-language book market\, and less than one-third of this is women-authored. Women writers in translation occupy a difficult border space in literature\, variously affected by lack of recognition in their home country\, fewer women being entered for literary prizes\, and less criticism and column space dedicated to women writers. Yet\, recent phenomena such as Kamila Shamsie’s call for a ‘Year of Publishing Women’\, Meytal Radzinski’s advocacy of ‘Women in Translation month’ each August\, and the creation of the Women in Translation Tumblr and the ‘Warwick Prize for Women in Translation’ indicate the urgency of confronting the lack of gender equality in the English-language publishing industry with regard to translated literature. \nThis conference will explore the circuits of translation of women-authored literature into English\, with the aim of promoting synergies between academic and publishing contexts. By questioning the power dynamics of the English-language book industry\, it seeks to offer fresh insights into the cultural\, social\, economic and political implications of making foreign women writers available to English-speaking readers\, considering where ‘borders’ lie in translated literature\, and how and why women might destabilise them. Our feminist perspective challenges the lack of recognition and influence of women writers\, and our transnational and geopolitical focus encourages a cross-cultural understanding already fostered by translation and by the pioneering work of organisations such as English PEN and Literature Across Frontiers. We aim to break through ‘borders’ – both real and figurative – and build ‘bridges’ between research areas and industry initiatives\, bringing together representatives from all key groups of stakeholders to discuss and redress the imbalance affecting women writers in translation. \nCLICK HERE FOR FULL CFP DETAILS \nWe are delighted to include as part of the programme two events with acclaimed women writers and their translators. These public sessions are free and open to all: Author Négar Djavadi (Disoriental\, 2018) and translator Tina Kover. Author Ariana Harwicz (Die\, My Love\, 2017; Feebleminded\, 2019)\, and translators Carolina Orloff and Annie McDermott. \nHosted by the Institute of Modern Languages Research\, and supported by OWRI Cross-Language Dynamics: Reshaping Community – Translingual Strand\, with the Centre for the Study of Contemporary Women’s Writing\, the Cassal Trust\, Aston University and CLaRA (Centre for Language Research at Aston)\, and the University of Exeter.

SUMMARY:Playing with Prose Theatre Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Adapting Novels for the Stage \nA two-day workshop for university students \nLed by Jack Tarlton (8 Days: To the Moon and Back) \nJoin us for this creative workshop for university students\, exploring adaptations of novels for the stage. Reading a novel and watching an adaptation of that novel in the theatre are two very distinct experiences. The first is private\, the reader using their own imagination fuelled by the writer’s words to create the characters and landscapes\, locating and exploring the themes and ideas and following the narrative thrust. The second is communal and collaborative. We sit with others and collectively engage with a story that is being told to us by other people using language\, movement\, music\, lighting and sound\, people who have in turn been inspired by the original writer’s work. \nBut both are imaginative acts that move us and make us think in a myriad of ways. \nWhy adapt a book for the stage and how do we adapt a book for the stage? \nWorking with interviews conducted by Tarlton with some of the UK’s leading theatre practitioners\, participants will explore the following works: \nCoram Boy\nby Jamila Gavin\, adapted by Helen Edmunsen & directed by Melly Still\nfor the National Theatre\, Broadway & Bristol Old Vic \nThe Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time\nBy Mark Haddon\, adapted by Simon Stephens & directed by Marianne Elliot\nfor the National Theatre\, West End\, Broadway\, UK & US Tours & International Productions \nCity of Glass\nby Paul Auster\, adapted by Duncan McMillan & directed by Leo Warner\nfor 59 Productions\, HOME Manchester and the Lyric Hammersmith \nThe Death of Ivan Ilyich\nby Leo Tolstoy\, adapted by Stephen Sharkey & directed by Jonathan Humphreys\nfor Attic Theatre Company \nThe workshop will feature videos of rehearsals and early productions\, and students will look at the challenges of taking books written in first person and bringing that to the stage\, examining stage directions\, the importance of collaboration\, performing short parts of the plays and novels\, and looking at design work that accompanies the production. Students will also have the opportunity to create and perform their own short plays based on a story or an except of a novel. \nBooking to open shortly.

SUMMARY:Exploring the Transnational Neighbourhood: Integration\, Community\, and Co-Habitation
DESCRIPTION:A conference of the UCD Humanities Institute\, University College Dublin in collaboration with the Institute of Modern Languages Research\, School of Advanced Study\, University of London\, and supported by OWRI Cross-Language Dynamics: Reshaping Community – Translingual Strand. \nClick here for more details and to view the programme \nGlobal mass migration on an unprecedented scale; dangerous journeys across the Mediterranean by refugees fleeing persecution and warfare; the loss of family and friends; the loss of home; the challenge of integrating the arrivants / arrivantes; and conflicting notions of identity and belonging – these are some of the transcultural predicaments of the globalisation processes of the 21st century coming to a head in the local encounters of urban (and rural) neighbourhoods. Whereas Singapore’s Holland Village\, London’s Brixton and Berlin’s Kreuzberg have grown into trendy multi- and transcultural neighbourhoods coined by creativity and a newly affluent cosmopolitan class\, others seem troubled by disenfranchisement\, discord\, and/or feelings of social dislocation\, with Molenbeek in Brussels and the Clichy-sous-Bois banlieue in Paris being perhaps the most notorious examples. While Clichy-sous-Bois gained notoriety during the highly mediatised 2005 street riots\, Molenbeek was labelled a breeding ground for Islamist terrorism after the bombings in Paris and Brussels in 2015 and 2016. \nTransnational neighbourhoods are frequently depicted as the ‘other’ and – as Gillian Jein notes – a ‘deviant terrain’. However\, voices from within often emphasise different perceptions and have the potential to challenge and counter discourses emerging in the context of the rapid rise of populist right-wing parties across Europe that aim to reinstate or “protect” ethnic nationalism\, Christianity as the dominant religion\, a national language and organic culture\, ancestry and lineage\, and membership of a dominant ethnic or racial group as the bases for national membership.The current political debate is highly polarised\, binary and often dominated by quantitative arguments concerning the number of refugees\, and the social\, economic and political impact of their integration. \nAgainst this backdrop\, our conference seeks to shift focus by exploring transcultural encounters in the urban neighbourhood. We posit that the urban neighbourhood is a social microcosm that allows for a more nuanced discussion of transculturality as lived practice. The urban neighbourhood is local but not provincial; it is a fluid space in which various temporal and spatial axes intersect; it is the locus where diverse trans/cultural practices can engender togetherness as well as differences and conflict. It is the contact zone where disparate cultures meet in often highly asymmetrical relations\, fostering processes of hybridisation\, creolisation and neoculturation. The neighbourhood is open to the type of multi-scalar perspective that\, according to Ann Rigney\, avoids entrapment in a binary discourse. \nThe French street- and community artist JR’s work provides an example of how artistic reflections can highlight these positive dynamics\, intervene in political discourse and help shape perceptions of transnational neighbourhoods. His 150m2 fresco Chroniques de Clichy-Montfermeil (2017)\, for instance\, not only charts the 2005 riots and encompasses 750 portraits of the neighbourhood’s ethnically diverse population\, but also interweaves it with France’s revolutionary past by quoting Jacques-Louis David’s Oath of the Horatii (1786) and Tennis Court Oath (1794) as well as Eugène Delacroix’s Liberty Leading the People (1830)\, thereby transgressing conventional concepts of identity and belonging. \nThe urban neighbourhood lends itself to a broad multi-perspectival and interdisciplinary exploration of transcultural practices. We invite papers from a broad range of disciplines and fields\, including urban geography\, urban planning\, architecture\, memory studies\, film studies\, visual and performance arts\, contemporary literary studies\, cultural studies\, sociology\, practice-based research and linguistics. \nCLICK HERE FOR MORE DETAILS

SUMMARY:Transnational Perspectives on the Study of Spanish in Society
DESCRIPTION:Languages travel and adapt to the new circumstances faced by their speakers. The growth of the Spanish language has always been transnational in nature\, insofar as any expansion has been grounded in cultural and economic exchange. Therefore\, at this conference\, we wish to bring together those with scholarly interests in the situation of the Spanish language in the contemporary world. Almost twenty years into the new millennium\, we want to reflect on how Spanish speakers\, be they in their countries of origin or in the diaspora\, construct and negotiate concepts of community. How is this achieved by recourse to ideas of borders\, migration and contact? How do speakers move beyond notions of physical space\, and push social\, political\, cultural and commercial boundaries\, in order to break through the limits imposed on them by nations and continents? (Mar-Molinero and Stewart 2006; Foner 2005; Jackson et al. 2004). \nWe wish to explore the following questions: Are we at present witnessing processes of homogenisation and standardisation of norms and uses\, thanks to the global space in which Spanish speakers move and communicate\, all made possible by technological advances\, and policies of a Pan-Hispanic nature? Or\, in fact\, do we find ourselves in an unprecedented social situation which allows language to be more pluricentric\, local\, innovative and ‘superdiverse’ than ever before? (Lebsanft\, Mihatsch and Polzin-Haumann 2012; Zimmermann 2014; Blommaert 2015; Arnaut 2016) Now is the time to debate what methods and research protocols are the most effective at capturing the complexity that arises from such situations. What does it mean to view things transnationally? How can such a perspective benefit the study of the relationships between Spanish speakers in a global world? \nThese will be the triggers for discussion at our conference which\, three years on\, will bring everyone together in Edinburgh\, in order to celebrate a hundred years of Hispanic Studies at The University of Edinburgh. \nBook via: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/transnational-perspectives-on-the-study-of-spanish-in-society-tickets-60746784267 \n\nThis event is organised by University of Edinburgh with support from the Institute of Modern Languages Research and the Open World Research Initiative (OWRI) Cross-Language Dynamics: Reshaping Community\, Translingual Strand.

SUMMARY:Configuring ‘World Theatre’
DESCRIPTION:Keynote speaker: Professor Osita Okagbue (Professor of Theatre and Performance at Goldsmiths University of London). Conference organisers: Julia Prest and Michael Wood (University of Edinburgh) \nThe purpose of the conference is to unite scholars from Modern Languages departments and related disciplines within the Arts and Humanities for two days of discussion on the topic of World Theatre. Within the Anglophone and European contexts\, ‘World Theatre’ still tends to be understood as referring to the research of separate national theatrical traditions and practices from across the globe or giving overviews of individual theorists and practitioners from outside of the European and American world. Yet there is much that theatre research can gain from the methodologies and insights of World Literature research and Transnational Studies. \nWhile World Literature has become a well-established paradigm for Modern Languages research in recent decades\, this conference seeks to promote the field of World Theatre in Scotland and beyond. Bringing researchers who specialise on theatre within different language areas and scholars from related disciplines into conversation with each other and with existing theories of World Literature and Transnationality\, we hope to find exciting new avenues for on-going and future scholarship\, including collaborative research. \nThe conference will feature a combination of research papers and discussions on a wide and varied range of topics led by scholars from institutions across the world. Participants will be invited to attend a theatre performance in Edinburgh on 20th June that will form the basis for discussion and debate the following day. \nImage: Native American tribal Ceremonies in Philadelphia\, by John Lewis Krimmel and Pavel Svinyin (1811-1813). \nBOOKING TO OPEN SHORTLY \nSupported by the Institute of Modern Languages Research Regional Conference Scheme\, OWRI Cross-Language Dynamics: Reshaping Community – Translingual Strand\, with additional support from the School of Modern Languages at the University of St Andrews and the British Academy.

SUMMARY:Digital Diasporas: Interdisciplinary Perspectives
DESCRIPTION:Venue: University of Westminster\, 309 Regent Street\, London W1B 2HW \nCONFERENCE HOME PAGE\n\nSince Appadurai wrote on the intertwined phenomena of electronic media and migration as disruptive and defining features of modern subjectivity (1996)\, the relationship between digital technologies and diasporic communities has emerged as a critical area of study across a number of disciplines. However\, such research risks remaining isolated within disciplinary silos\, often despite the similar processes\, practices and materials studied. This conference aims to inspire greater dialogue across disciplinary boundaries in order to develop a richer understanding of the role of the digital in creating and sustaining diasporic connections and communities\, and of how diasporic groups and individuals transform and shape digital tools and technologies for their own creative and strategic purposes.Through this dialogue it is hoped that new transdisciplinary ways of working may develop which challenge knowledge fragmentation in order to confront the complexity of the contemporary context of intensified cultural and linguistic flows and new patterns of human mobility. At the same time\, drawing attention to diasporic narratives and approaches to digital culture and technologies can function as both critique and challenge to centralised narratives of digital progress and development often restricted to predominantly Anglophone contexts. \nWe especially welcome research which pays attention to the linguistic and cultural dimensions of digital technologies and media. This is\, however\, not restricted to any specific geographical area\, language or type of community. Equally\, the digital is intended to encompass the fullest range of digital practices\, materials and technologies\, while the conference aims to include methodological and analytical approaches ranging across\, for example\, ethnographic\, cultural studies and computational approaches. \nEarly-bird registration (available until 30 April 2019):\nStandard rate: £80\nConcession rate (students/unwaged): £50 \nLate registration (from 1 May 2019 and depending on availability):\nStandard rate: £90\nConcession rate (students/unwaged): £60 \nBOOK HERE

SUMMARY:Across Languages: Translingualism in Contemporary Women’s Writing
DESCRIPTION:Keynote speakers: Anna-Louise Milne (University of London Institute in Paris)\, Rebecca L. Walkowitz (Rutgers University) \nA Reading and Discussion with Katja Petrowskaja (Vielleicht Esther) and translator Shelley Frisch of the English translation\, Maybe Esther\, is scheduled as part of the conference on 30 May under the series Encounters: Writers and Translators in Conversation. \nThis conference is organised by the Centre for the Study of Contemporary Women’s Writing (CCWW) in collaboration with the AHRC Open World Research Initiative project ‘Cross-Language Dynamics: Reshaping Community’. It follows on from an exploratory workshop that was held at the IMLR in March 2018\, ‘A New Language – a New Life? Translingual literature by contemporary women writers’. It brings together scholars working on translingual women’s writing in a range of language fields in order to explore the particular richness of texts produced by writers in languages that are not their mother tongues. \nIn the current era of mass migration and transnational movement\, analysis of translingualism as the mode of expression of this movement is an important area of inquiry. Where static concepts of belonging are questioned and increasingly replaced by hybrid identities and affiliations\, and by fluid attachments\, changing with time\, the power of translingual language use and its analysis can become a means to re-imagine the identitarian force of language. Translingualism can bring to the fore new subjectivities and new forms of community (Kellman\, 2000; Yildiz\, 2012). Considered in conjunction with questions of gender and power\, translingual writing can also reveal powerful ways of conceptualizing emancipatory feminine writing. Beyond concerns of identity formation\, translingual language use opens up new ways of thinking\, deconstructing established modes of expression through associative cross-language connections. In so transcending the binaries of language use it is apt to reveal new forms of literary writing. \nDr Anna-Louise Milne is an author\, an academic\, and founder of The Paris Centre for Migrant Writing and Expression (ULIP). Professor Rebecca L. Walkowitz teaches English and Comparative Literature at Rutgers University\, New Jersey. Her recent monograph\, Born Translated: The Contemporary Novel in an Age of World Literature (2015)\, has been highly influential in re-thinking literary history as a series of transnational and translingual convergences and divergences. \nRegistration includes attendance at the Encounters reading/discussion with Katja Petrowskaja and Shelley Frisch\, lunch and a drinks reception on the first day\, and refreshments throughout. \nBOOKING NOW OPEN \nStandard rate: £30\nConcession rate (conference speakers/students/unwaged): £15  \nThis event is organised Centre for Contemporary Women’s Writing\, the Institute of Modern Languages Research and the Open World Research Initiative (OWRI) Cross-Language Dynamics: Reshaping Community\, Translingual Strand.

SUMMARY:Digital Modern Languages Seminar Series Launch
DESCRIPTION:Professor Claire Taylor\, University of Liverpool: ‘Points of Intersection: Digital Modern Languages’ \nAbstract: In my talk I would like to explore the points of interconnection that have arisen in recent years between Modern Languages and the digital broadly conceived\, this latter encompassing digital humanities\, digital culture\, digital pedagogy\, and many more. Starting from an overview of recent developments in Modern Languages research that have engaged with the digital\, I subsequently set out the crucial contributions that Modern Linguists can make to debates in Digital Humanities and Digital Culture Studies. I highlight in particular the insights that Modern Linguists can offer regarding co-creation; a commitment to community engagement; a contestation of Anglophone models; and a linguistically- and culturally-specific cultural studies approach to digital materials. In this way\, the talk argues\, Modern Languages scholarship on the digital can be part of the productive dialogue between humanities-based approaches and cultural studies-based approaches that currently characterises debates in Digital Humanities and Digital Culture studies alike\, and can contribute to the shape of these fields. \nClaire Taylor is Professor of Hispanic Studies at the University of Liverpool and leads the Digital Latin American Cultures Network with Thea Pitman and Tori Holmes. \nThe seminar will be followed by a wine reception. \nATTENDANCE FREE BUT PLACES LIMITED.

SUMMARY:Cartonera: Latin American Cardboard Books
DESCRIPTION:Cartonera is a contemporary publishing phenomenon that lies at the intersection between cultural trend and social movement\, artistic intervention and community project. Known in Latin America as editoriales cartoneras\, they are often referred to as ‘cardboard publishers’\, because one feature that unites the diverse publishing projects is the material from which they make their books: recycled cardboard. Many of these presses popped up in Argentina around the time of the 2001 economic crisis\, as a result of economic hardship\, but also as new social enterprises\, creating cheap and accessible books from waste materials. \nThis free event offers participants the chance to find out more about this phenomenon\, including a chance to see some of the Library’s own collection of cartoneras. A presentation by academic and researcher Dr Lucy Bell (University of Surrey) will be followed by a workshop where you will be able to try your hand at making your own cartonera. \nCLICK HERE FOR BOOKING \nimage: courtesy of cartonerapublishing.com  \n\n\nThe workshop is part of an action-research project on community engagement and the Latin American community in Southwark by the AHRC Open World Research Initiative project “Cross Language Dynamics: Reshaping Community” at the Institute of Modern Languages Research\, University of London\, in partnership with Southwark Council.

SUMMARY:Languages of Moscow
DESCRIPTION:image: Kievskaya Station\, Moscow Metro \nThe “Languages of Moscow” project investigates urban multilingualism from the perspectives of language function\, education and language policy\, among others. The main aims of the project are to study and explain linguistic diversity\, the dynamics of language/culture contact\, language shifts and identity construction strategies in the Russian capital. \nThe ethnic\, linguistic\, cultural and religious diversity of Moscow – Europe’s largest city – is under-researched and in urgent need of investigation. It is fascinating to examine how globalisation processes influence this multilingual urban space. Adopting a multidisciplinary approach to our investigation of language functions in Moscow and its metropolitan area\, we examine language interactions within ethnic communities\, including interaction and linguistic socialisation of immigrant children and their attempts to preserve identity within the state Russian-speaking school system. \nJulia Mazurova\, Marina Raskladkina – ‘Linguistic diversity of Moscow’\nDenis Zubalov – ‘Ethno-linguistic groups in Moscow: the case of Georgians and Greeks’ \nThis workshop is free to attend but places are limited.

SUMMARY:Workshops on Computer-Assisted Literary Translation (CALT) at Swansea University
DESCRIPTION:Swansea Translating and Interpreting Group is delighted to announce two 2-day workshops at Swansea University on Computer-Assisted Literary Translation (CALT) – part of the Open World Research Initiative: “Cross-Language Dynamics: Reshaping Community” – Translingual Strand\, with additional support from Swansea’s Language Research Centre. \nFirst Workshop: 25-26 January 2019\nKeynote speaker Prof. Dorothy Kenny\, Professor in Applied Language and Intercultural Studies at Dublin City University\, editor of Human Issues in Translation Technology (Routledge\, 2017): “Corpora\, Machines and Literary Translation. A Guided Tour”. \nLiterary translators tend to resist using the systems which dominate the lives of most other professional translators\, such as CAT tools\, translation memories\, termbases\, machine translation engines. But can these and corpus analysis tools be hacked for the benefit of literary translators? \nWe will discuss the promise and risks involved. There will be training sessions with a variety of digital tools\, as well as presentations of research and practice. \nNEW DATES! Second Workshop: 29-30 May 2019: BOOKING TO OPEN SHORTLY\nKeynote speaker Andy Way\, Professor in Computing at Dublin City University\, editor of Machine Translation journal\, co-author of recent studies on Neural Machine Translation performance with literary texts. Title: tbc. \nThese workshops are co-funded by OWRI “Cross-Language Dynamics: Reshaping Community” – Translingual Strand\, and Swansea University’s Language Research Centre\, and are free to attend with advance booking. Academics\, research students and practising translators are all welcome. No previous experience of computer-assisted methods is required. \nVenue: Swansea University\, Keir Hardie Building 149\, College of Arts and Humanities\, Sketty SA2 8PP \nCLICK HERE FOR BOOKING AND PROGRAMME INFORMATION

SUMMARY:Call For Papers: Exploring the Transnational Neighbourhood: Integration\, Community and Co-Habitation
DESCRIPTION:A conference of the UCD Humanities Institute\, University College Dublin in collaboration with the Institute of Modern Languages Research\, School of Advanced Study\, University of London. \nCall for papers deadline: 10 January 2019\nConference dates: 25-27 September 2019\, Dublin \nGlobal mass migration on an unprecedented scale; dangerous journeys across the Mediterranean by refugees who are fleeing persecution and warfare; the loss of family and friends; the loss of home; the challenge of integrating the arrivants / arrivantes; and conflicting notions of identity and belonging: these are some of the transcultural predicaments of the globalisation processes of the 21st century coming to a head in the local encounters of urban (and rural) neighbourhoods. Whereas Singapore’s Holland Village\, London’s Brixton and Berlin’s Kreuzberg have grown into trendy multi- and transcultural neighbourhoods coined by creativity and a newly affluent cosmopolitan class\, others seem troubled by disenfranchisement\, discord\, and/or feelings of social dislocation\, with Molenbeek in Brussels and the Clichy-sous-Bois banlieue in Paris being perhaps the most notorious examples. While Clichy-sous-Bois gained notoriety during the highly mediatised 2005 street riots\, Molenbeek was labelled a breeding ground for Islamist terrorism after the bombings in Paris and Brussels in 2015 and 2016. \nTransnational neighbourhoods are frequently depicted as the ‘other’ and – as Gillian Jein notes – a ‘deviant terrain’. However\, voices from within often emphasise different perceptions and have the potential to challenge and counter discourses emerging in the context of the rapid rise of populist right-wing parties across Europe that aim to reinstate or “protect” ethnic nationalism\, Christianity as the dominant religion\, a national language and organic culture\, ancestry and lineage\, and membership in a dominant ethnic or racial group as the bases for national membership. The current political debate is highly polarised\, binary and often dominated by quantitative arguments concerning the number of refugees\, and the social\, economic and political impact of their integration. \nAgainst this backdrop\, our conference seeks to shift focus by exploring transcultural encounters in the urban neighbourhood. We posit that the urban neighbourhood is a social microcosm that allows for a more nuanced discussion of transculturality as lived practice. The urban neighbourhood is local but not provincial; it is a fluid space in which various temporal and spatial axes intersect;  it is the locus where diverse trans/cultural practices can engender togetherness as well as differences and conflict. It is the contact zone where disparate cultures meet in often highly asymmetrical relations\, fostering processes of hybridisation\, creolisation and neoculturation. The neighbourhood is open to the type of multi-scalar perspective that\, according to Ann Rigney\, avoids entrapment in a binary discourse. \nThe French street- and community artist JR’s work provides an example of how artistic reflections can highlight these positive dynamics\, intervene in political discourse and help shape perceptions of transnational neighbourhoods. His 150m2 fresco Chroniques de Clichy-Montfermeil (2017)\, for instance\, not only charts the 2005 riots and encompasses 750 portraits of the neighbourhood’s ethnically diverse population\, but also interweaves it with France’s revolutionary past by quoting Jacques-Louis David’s Oath of the Horatii (1786) and Tennis Court Oath (1794) as well as Eugène Delacroix’s Liberty Leading the People (1830)\, thereby transgressing conventional concepts of identity and belonging. \nThe urban neighbourhood lends itself to a broad multi-perspectival and interdisciplinary exploration of transcultural practices. We invite papers from a broad range of disciplines and fields\, including urban geography\, urban planning\, architecture\, memory studies\, film studies\, visual and performance arts\, contemporary literary studies\, cultural studies\, sociology\, practice-based research and linguistics. \nPossible lines of investigation include: \nTheorising the Transnational/Transcultural Neighbourhood\n \n\nThe role of space/time\nNotions of belonging/attachment\nThe dynamic of inclusion/exclusion\nTransculturation/Hybridisation/Creolisation\nPorosity/Enclosure\nProximity/Distance\nIntimacy/Enmity\nVernacular styles\n\nMulti-Scalar Perspectives on Integration and Conflict \n\nCase Studies of social inclusion through education\, training and youth work; preventing and combating discrimination\, gender-based violence\, racism and xenophobia\nCase studies of conflict\, social exclusion\, discrimination\, racism and xenophobia\, and violence\nThe role of civic organisations and local government in promoting/hindering integration\nThe role of social clubs/sports clubs\n\n\nBuilt Environment\, Social and Art Practice \n\nTranscultural community formation and the built environment\nThe role of “small scale” local areas and buildings such as bus stops\, playgrounds\, corner shops\, cafés\, local libraries\nThe role of “large scale” areas and buildings such as parks\, squares\, schools\, shopping malls\, civic buildings\, monuments\nPractices of co-inhabitance/contact and segregation in the neighbourhood\nPerformance of age\, class\, gender\, race and sexuality in the neighbourhood\nCase studies and examples of transcultural art and performance practices in neighbourhoods\n\n\nLiterary and Filmic Representations of Transcultural Neighbourhoods \n\nClose readings of individual texts\, films\, works of photography that feature the transnational neighbourhood\nRepresentations of religion\, gender\, class and race\nAnalysis of a transnational “poetics” of place\n“Transcultural” literary and cinematographic techniques\nThe comparative analysis of literary texts that feature transnational neighbourhoods\nMulti-lingualism in literature and films\nTransgressive performances in literature and films\nRepresentation of the backlash against the transnational neighbourhood in films and literary texts.\n\n  \nPlease send an abstract of approx. 250 words and a short biographical note of about 50 words to: m.rocalizarazu@bham.ac.uk\, britta.jung@ucd.ie\, and stephan.ehrig@ucd.ie \nConference Organisers:\nProf. Anne Fuchs\, UCD Humanities Institute\, University College Dublin (anne.fuchs@ucd.ie)\nDr. Godela Weiss-Sussex\, IMLR\, University of London/King’s College Cambridge (godela.weiss-sussex@sas.ac.uk)\nDr. Britta C.

SUMMARY:Brixton Reel Film Premiere: Virginia Casta
DESCRIPTION:Virginia Casta \n\nA premiere of the Colombian romantic comedy film\, followed by Cuban and Salsa music. \nDirector: Claudio Cataño (Colombia) | Spanish with English subtitles. \nBased on a best selling Colombian novel Virginia Casta stars acclaimed actress Cristina Umaña who gives a darkly comic performance as a love damaged heroine. Devastated by her recent break up\, Virginia Casta attempts to jump from a balcony\, but far from ending her life\, she becomes an infamous social media personality. Between rock music\, tears and frenzy with a scruffy musician\, two dysfunctional friends and a pothead grandmother\, Virginia discovers the meaning of friendship and a way out from this mess. Until her ex shows up again! \nIn association with the Institute of Modern Languages Research (University of London) and the AHRC Open World Research Initiative project: Cross-Language Dynamics: Reshaping Community. \nPlease book in advance at: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/brixton-reel-virginia-casta-tickets-51547042592  \n\nAbout Brixton Reel Film Festival \nBrixton Reel is a pioneering mental wellbeing film festival set up to engage with hard to reach\, socially excluded and often lower income BAME communities. \nThe festival is run by film and diversity company ImagineAsia Ltd and led by the Brixton Reel Steering Group\, which is made up of a range of mental health service providers including Certitude\, Mosaic Clubhouse\, Teléfono de la Esperanza (TEUK) and Dragon Café\, among others. It includes mental health service users and people of diverse backgrounds. \nTeléfono de la Esperanza is a Migrant Health charity that offers a free comprehensive mental health service for the Spanish and Portuguese-speaking communities in London. \nSince 2015 Brixton Reel Film Festival has been working with TEUK-Voades and Southwark Council in the delivery of its health and wellbeing outreach events. Brixton Reel has developed a long-term relationship with TEUK which provides strong links with the Spanish-speaking Latin American communities in Southwark and Lambeth. \nThis year’s festival edition focuses on the seldom heard stories of mental wellbeing by BAME communities in London. Black Asian and Minority ethnic people’s stories are rarely told. This year Brixton Reel Film Festival is asking members from Black Asian and Minority ethnic communities (including the Latin American community) and LGBTQ+ people to tell their own stories on mental wellbeing. \nOWRI in partnership with TEUK-Voades will organise a workshop with young Latin Americans living in London to learn more about their views on mental health. The workshop aims to explore how cultural and linguistic differences (re)shape the way we speak about mental health. Their recorded testimonials will offer insight into the way culture and language shape our understanding of mental health. \nThe festival takes place on two dates this year with an early event on World Mental Health Day 10th October and the main festival taking place from 8th to 15th November. The festival will take place in Lambeth\, Southwark and Hackney. \n
