There is a growing dissonance between the urban university as often perceived—its physical, architectural, and emblematic form, its legacy structures and spaces, its time-honoured functions and traditions—and the university as a knowledge factory within the city, subject to political, commercial, and environmental
“Students in the Archives: Archival Pedagogy in Practice Edited Collection CFP
Heather Fox & Amanda Stuckey
In early 2020, we developed a pedagogy-driven digital humanities site to feature pedagogical approaches to archival research and teaching. Prompted by Barbara Biesecker’s premise that “whatever else the archive may be, it always already is . . . our collective invention of us and of it (2015, 156), this site was de

The twin crises of mass immigration and refugees present the world with the prospect of human catastrophe of enormous dimensions. Millions of persons around the world are on the move. They may be driven from their homes in the Middle East or in Eastern Europe by war; or forced fro
In an ever changing world the problems of setting boundaries as well as the need to create meanings and establish understanding of diverse phenomena have always been of the utmost importance for humanity. Borders, boundaries, frontiers, and borderlands, naturally formed or man made, are grounded in various ethical traditions, and have always been associated with limits and restrictions. The ongoing process of globalisation is changing the role and stereotypes of borders, so that they are ofte
Memory is a major theme in contemporary life, a key to personal, social and cultural identity. Scholars have studied the concept from different perspectives and within different disciplines: philosophy, sociology, anthropology, geography, architecture, urban design, and the interdisciplinary "place studies".
According to Pierre Nora, places of memory or lieux de mémoire refer to those places where "memory crystallizes and secretes itself"; the places where the exhausted capital
This conference aims at exploring motherhood and its diverse cultural representations, while interrogating the ways in which such representations impact on individual and collective experiences of motherhood. Thus, we attempt at examining motherhood both as a personal experience and as an institution, as well as observing the nuances involved in the interaction between both.
The conference seeks to encourage dialogue around cultural concepts of motherhood by observing the cultural rol
The field of popular culture studies is wide open and has drawn a lot of academic attention for several years now. Popular culture and gender interconnect in a myriad of ways, and their interplay can lead to outcomes which can be disabling and/or enabling. Popular culture, as an important social tool, with mediums such as images, films, TV serials, advertisements, music, literature, comic books, animations, video games, popular news, social media etc., plays a highly critical role in construc
This Special Issue invites contributions with a focus on intercultural relationships by using the example of religion, an indispensable element in discourses of culture. As such an element, religion bears and constitutes meanings. According to Brent Nongbri’s Before Religion: A History of a Modern Concept (2013), we do not have any scientifically proven knowledge and scholarly consensus regarding the question as to what precisely constitutes a religion. Therefor

One of the main themes of the ever-growing interest in Late Antiquity (broadly c. 250-700 CE) lies in the imperial legislation and political thought. The vast compilations of the legal texts, materialized in juristic corpora like the Codex Theodosianus or Justinian’s Corpus Iuris Civilis, offer an ample, though frequently bewildering, portraiture o

In a first war poem, Patroclus scolds: “for the sum of war lies in strength of hands, the sum of words in council; therefore there is no need to pile up words, but to do battle. In the same way, his companion Hector exhorts: “either to perish or survive; for this is the communion of war. On the other hand, a not so faithful
In 2015, the United Nations approved the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which came to give continuity to the process of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The SDGs cover all possible social, economic and natural aspects, both in a global and local space. It is a complex process of political and economic discussion, with different views, which must be addressed from all areas of society (UN, 2022).
Queer lives have changed unprecedentedly since the time social media became a rage. While older queers look back nostalgically at the pre-Internet years, when finding even one other queer person was a challenge, others regret being born earlier. It is indeed a strange dilemma which cannot be resolved. While there is no scale to weigh the pros or cons of the pre-Internet or post-Internet queer lives, at least, there is a consensus that building a community and connecting virtually is lot easie
