CFP:

Lisbon, the capital of Portugal has increasingly become a 'mecca' for European expats wishing to relocate. Attracted by sun, beaches, food, culture and a low cost of living, it has been ranked as the world's third most livable city for foreigners. Inevitably, the results of this have been varied. Seen as a boost to the local economy, it also adds to property prices. It places strain on public services like health and transport, and is criticized repeatedly from a social sustainability standpoint. Livable for many then, Lisbon is also a city of challenges for others.

Interested in examining the city as a site of livability across times and places, this conference uses the host city as a point of departure for examining the varied issues at play when we think about livability:

Architecture, urban planning, social integration, community participation, housing, public health, smart city technology, sustainability, resilience, transport, urban economics, heritage, the arts and cultural sectors, and more. Themes are varied and reflect the diversity of perspectives offered by international and interdisciplinary scholars on the notion of the 'livable'.

Creative people, whether they are visual artists, poets, writers, musicians, designers, or actors (to name a few) have constantly changed the world. We would like to take a closer look at how women have played this vital role. How has women's creativity changed, shaped, and formed the world through impacting different cultures, environments and disciplines?

Why do women write, paint, dance, and perform? Whether as a hobby or a need, women create for various reasons and because of multiple impetuses: they may do so to connect, to inform, to move, and to inspire others. But what has become manifest is that women who create, for whatever purpose, from anywhere in the world, all do so with courage and strength. As Margaret Atwood said about the writing experience, "A word after a word after a word is power."

This conference aims to bring together scholars, creatives, postgraduate students, and professionals to explore and discuss the relationship between the feminine and the arts, whether it appears in history, science, pop culture, or any other epoch or discipline.

We welcome 15-minute presentations (academic and/or creative, from scholars, creatives, graduate students, and professionals.) that reflect this spirit and express aspects and issues of the feminine.

Suggested topics include, but are not limited to:

The feminine in creative non-fiction
Surrealism and magical realism
Portrayal of the female experience in popular culture
The feminine in spirituality
The feminine in nature
Gender bias and underrepresentation of women
The female body
Female sexuality
LGBTQ studies in the arts
The feminine in production
The maternal
Archetypes of the feminine
Goddesses, muses, and classicist influences of women in art
Gender motifs in poetry, fiction, nonfiction
The concept of displacement and female creatives
Women in translation
The concept of liberty
Identity
History through the creative depictions of women
Psychology
Daughters, sisters, spouses
Women and science fiction
The art of writing letters
Biography/autobiography
Poetry and gender
The feminine in ekphrasis
Ghostwriting and women
Journalism
Cliches of sentimentality
The struggle of female writers in a male-dominated world
Influential female writers
The full conference programme will be announced after the proposal deadline, once all our presenters have been chosen.

**Participants interested in attending the conference without presenting a paper are also welcome.

Submission Guidelines: Abstracts should be submitted through https://forms.gle/RdAGQBVKyyRsEkoi7 by January 10, 2025

Abstract: Deadline December 15, 2024

Abstract form on: https://forms.gle/9TWGPbStYzTTqEvD9

Conference webpage: https://labrc.co.uk/2024/10/19/modernism-remodelled-2025/

This conference seeks to bring together scholars, creatives, and arts-based researchers working on topics related to modernism and/or the contemporary cultural scenes that may have risen from the modernist period, such as literary studies, psychology, musicology, art studies, architecture, philosophy, film studies, media studies and beyond.

If we look at today's cultural, political, and scientific scene, we find that the pandemic, social and political unrest, technological and medical breakthroughs, new trends in poetry, a renewed interest in classicism and mythology (to name a few) resonate with an era not long ago. We detect a familiar pattern, which can be seen as a recurrence of, or maybe even an extension to, the modernist period. Perhaps, as designer Ellen Lupton put it, "A second modernism has emerged, reinvigorating the utopian search for universal forms that marked the birth of design as a discourse and a discipline nearly a century earlier."

Thus, we would like to explore the following questions: Can we say that we are experiencing a sequel to, or a "second wave" of modernism today? What happened to some of the movements and schools of thought that were born during the modernist period? How have some of them evolved? How have they contributed to the cultural scene today, in both the sciences and the arts?

We aim to come together to explore - and perhaps investigate - the intersections between movements, trends, ideas, sciences and aesthetic methodologies during the modernist period and today.

We welcome 15-minute presentations on comparative studies and research topics related to a full range of approaches to contemporary trends in (but not limited to) the following fields:

Breaking away from conventions (in many areas such as art and lifestyle, etc.)

Modernist art movements (surrealism, cubism, impressionism, futurism, vorticism, etc)

Psychoanalysis

Philosophy

Music

Literature

Media

Architecture and design

Spirituality

Experimentation with language and form

Inter-War periods

Historical comparisons

The emergence of creative collectives

The effects of modernism on contemporary society and its relevance today

The full conference programme, including information regarding the keynote speaker(s) will be announced after the proposal deadline, once all our presenters have been chosen.

**Participants interested in attending the conference without presenting a paper are also welcome.

"Humor is mankind's greatest blessing." - Mark Twain

(Also, it's a pretty good excuse to host an academic conference where people can laugh while learning!)

Humour has long served as a mirror to society, revealing truths through wit, irony, and laughter. It transcends boundaries, offers comfort in times of hardship, and plays a critical role in cultural, social, and psychological domains. From ancient comedy to modern satire, humour continues to shape how we perceive the world and interact with one another.

The London Arts-Based Research Centre (LABRC) invites submissions for a 3-day online conference exploring the intersections of humour and arts-based research. This virtual transdisciplinary conference invites creatives (including comedians, of course!), scholars, researchers, and practitioners to explore the multifaceted role of humour across different fields, cultures, and historical periods, and to examine how humour can be leveraged as both a subject and method of inquiry.

We encourage 15-minute virtual presentations (both academic and creative formats) that engage with the theme of humour from a wide range of disciplines, including literature, media studies, psychology, anthropology, cultural studies, philosophy, and sociology.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Humour in literature, film, and popular culture
The psychology of humour and laughter
Humour as a tool for social critique and political discourse
Humour in the digital age: memes, viral content, and online satire
Cross-cultural perspectives on humour
Humour and mental health: coping mechanisms and resilience
The role of humour in education and pedagogy
Historical perspectives on humour: from ancient to contemporary times
The ethics of humour: boundaries, offense, freedom of expression, and ethical considerations in research contexts
The function of humour in everyday life (eg: in personal and social relationships)
Theoretical frameworks for analysing humour in arts-based research
Case studies of arts-based research projects incorporating humour
Humour as a tool for knowledge dissemination and public engagement
Intersections of humour with other affective dimensions in artistic inquiry
Humour and pedagogy

Submission Guidelines:

Please submit a 250-word abstract along with a short bio on this form by December 5, 2024: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdPT1ciTNKU7Q2TsgM5EK3GHPClj8W91FxO_i1QZyZ-_ApOwA/viewform
