SUMMARY:ISTR Conference 2024 – Call for Papers
DESCRIPTION:ISTR Conference 2024 – Call for Papers \nNew Horizons – Race and Performance \nVillanova University\, Villanova Pennsylvania\, USA\, May 24-25\, 2024 \nThe host of the conference\, David Cregan\, OSA\, Ph.D. will organize an ISTR webinar in 2024 to share conference details and planning travel. \nKeynotes: \nJames Ijames MFA\, 2023 Pulitzer Prize Winner for his play Fat Ham \nhttps://www.jamesijames.com/ \nJustine Nakase Ph.D.\, theatre maker and scholar based in Portland\, OR. She received her PhD from the University of Galway\, where her research focused on race and identity in contemporary Irish performance. \nNew Horizons – Race and Performance: \nThis conference invites interdisciplinary and multi-disciplinary scholars and artists\, including but not limited to: theatre and literary historians\, dramaturgs\, anthropologists\, cultural critics\, casting agents\, and theatre administrators engaged or interested in Irish identity in theatre and performance. The conference aims to advance the centuries old dialogue of race and identity in Irish culture and representation\, with an emphasis on current evolutions in identity and multiculturalism. We hope to explore new horizons by asking questions such as\, but not limited to: How has the postcolonial narrative evolved in Irish drama and performance and is it still applicable?  Is it possible that the repetition of narratives of oppression have locked artistic expression in the theatre into limitations of realism and identity\, thus limiting the possibilities of more diverse practices and more diverse articulations of identity?  Is Irish theatre and performance racist? What is beginning to emerge in the expression of Irish theatre and performance?  What is actually happening in Irish theatre\, and what more still needs to happen in response to diversity and inclusion? New Horizons welcomes new epistemologies\, practices\, and emergent possibilities in all aspects of theatre and performance. \nISTR 2024 hopes to engage querying conversations around emergent global realities and opportunities within Irish theatre scholarship and practice. The shifting nature of the globalization of identities\, migrant refugees\, climate change migration\, economic instability\, gender inequality\, homophobia\, human trafficking\, and ubiquitous political instability\, to name but a few\, are shifting human consciousness\, understanding\, and practices. The resulting shifts in rapidly changing continental populations at an ever accelerating rate are continually challenging more flexible notions and practices of what we call identity politics. Hosting the conference in the United States provides an opportunity explore the hybridization of identities indicative of the ‘melting pot’ notion is the USA. Through scholarly research\, human experience\, and prophetic visioning\, we hope to contribute new and diverse epistemologies\, both intellectual and practical to encourage and promote an evolution in Irish theatre and performance reflective of the basic reality of the human family.  We invite papers and presentations\, conversations and debates\, that name the current realities\, and envision the potentiality of a new world vision of respect and dignity advanced by the arts. \nPlease email abstracts of 250 words by March 15\, 2024\, including a brief bio: david.cregan@villanova.edu \nPlease click below for initial travel information and details. \nhttps://www1.villanova.edu/university/student-life/family/visit.html

SUMMARY:Galway Conference of Irish Studies 2024: Slow Violence X Irish Studies - Call for Contributions
DESCRIPTION:Galway Conference of Irish Studies 2024 \n Slow Violence X Irish Studies – Call for Contributions\n5-7 June 2024 \nWe welcome written abstracts and practice-based submissions in English\, Irish\, and French\, inspired by the theme of slow violence\, for the Galway Conference of Irish Studies 2024. \nCoined over ten years ago in the influential Slow Violence and the Environmentalism of the Poor (2011)\, Rob Nixon challenged readers to consider the incremental and cumulative effects of “slow violence\,” expanding on more limited conceptualisations of violence as sensational\, explosive\, and episodic.  Nixon’s expansive term was initially employed to describe the “attritional lethality” of gradual\, and often invisible\, forms of environment violence\, such as deforestation and oil spills; yet\, at the interdisciplinary nexus of Irish Studies\, the conference’s conveners suggest that “slow violence” can be a theoretical springboard not only for conversations about the status and future of the environment in Ireland\, but also myriad social\, political\, and cultural “long emergencies.” \nPlease read our Call for Papers (available in English\, Irish\, and French) for further details. \nAll are available here: https://www.universityofgalway.ie/colleges-and-schools/arts-social-sciences-and-celtic-studies/geography-archaeology-irish-studies/disciplines/irish-studies/news/galwayconferenceofirishstudies2024/callforcontributions/ \nPlease submit your 250 word proposal and a brief bio (~50 words) by 15 December\, 2023 to irishstudies24@gmail.com. \n
