Rethinking the Seasons: New Approaches to Nature: abstracts due 17 June 2011

Transformations

Cultural Studies is not very good at thinking about the place of nature in today's technologically mediated life as it's mainly concerned with "constructivism" or the production of cultural objects, identities and affects. Nature always comes to foil such things, exceeding them, breaking them down, returning them to the earth. The problem is how to "think" nature in this context. And how does this thinking of nature help us to relate to the sciences, with their particular way of thinking of nature as objectified, managed environment.

Winner of numerous awards and the epicenter of multiple controversies, Danny Boyle's 2008 film, Slumdog Millionaire, has fueled numerous debates regarding its depictions of India and the slum, its references to Bollywood, its global circulation and success, and its reception by critics and audiences alike.

1. Slumdog's aesthetics and its representations of poverty

Visual Rhetoric in the Art and Design College

Taking "gateway" as its key metaphor, the 2012 Conference on College Composition and Communication invites us to consider the ways in which various modes of communication are "becoming new rhetorical and informational gateways." Visual communication is one such mode that most composition instructors in 2012 are dealing with in some fashion, but for those of us who teach rhetoric and writing at art and design colleges, this process is particularly complex.

This session will explore the theory and historiography of avant-garde artistic practices in literature and the visual arts. Papers tracing various lines of avant-garde lineage and intersections of poetics and art-making practices outside of the traditional delineations of the historical avant-garde are welcome, as well as papers that redefine the avant-garde as such, argue for the possibility or impossibility of a contemporary "avant-garde," examine the relationship of Modernity and/or Modernism with avant-gardism, or theorize the implications of the historical avant-garde for contemporary literary and artistic practice, criticism, and scholarship.
