The journal Anatolica invites you to submit articles for its 50th issue to appear in November 2024. Anatolica is an international, double-blind peer reviewed journal that publishes both on paper and online by Peeters in Leuven under the aegis of the Netherlands Institute in Turkey.
“Things change,” no doubt, and for many decades now changes in literature and the visual arts have often been conceptualized in two interconnected ways. First, artifactual change is taken as a sign of or proxy for deeper, systemic modifications (from old-fashioned “periods” to master changes like “rationalism,” “capitalism,” and “modernity”). To “historicize,” as Frederic Jameson enjoined us to do, means to imagine artifacts as registering the complex conditions that made them possible in the first place.
The Historical, Cultural and Critical Inquiry Group at the University of Newcastle (Australia) is pleased to announce the next paper in our 2023 seminar series, on Friday 22 September, from 10-11am Australian Eastern Standard Time (UTC+10). The seminar will be online only, and broadcast live via Zoom. (Zoom link below.) Our presenter is:
Charlotte Greenhalgh (Waikato), “Premature Birth and Participation in Clinical Trials since 1969.”
The Program in British, Irish, and Empire Studies is pleased to announce
