CALL FOR PAPERS
“La Generación del 27 más allá del canon”
Número monográfico de Studia Neophilologica
Fecha límite para recepción de propuestas: 15 de noviembre de 2026
Presentación
Cien años después de la reunión en el Ateneo de Sevilla, la investigación sobre la Generación del 27 atraviesa un momento de profunda renovación. Junto a los estudios dedicados a sus figuras más canónicas, nuevas perspectivas críticas han ampliado notablemente el campo de análisis mediante la incorporación de enfoques transnacionales, estudios de género, historia cultural, teoría de redes, cultura visual, estudios de archivo, crítica genética, humanidades digitales, ecocrítica, estudios queer, sociología de la literatura e historia de los medios.
Este número monográfico propone reconsiderar la Generación del 27 desde los debates contemporáneos de las humanidades y las ciencias sociales, atendiendo tanto a sus principales autores y a los heterodoxos como a las múltiples redes culturales, políticas, artísticas e intelectuales en las que se inscribieron. Más que ofrecer una conmemoración retrospectiva, el objetivo es reflexionar sobre la vigencia, transformación y resignificación del 27 en el siglo XXI.
Se invita a presentar contribuciones originales relacionadas con alguno de los siguientes ejes temáticos:
Líneas temáticas
1. Relecturas del canon del 27: Revisión crítica del concepto de “Generación del 27”. Problemas de periodización y canonización. Procesos de exclusión e incorporación al canon. Autoras de la generación del 27. Feminismos históricos, estudios de género, estudios queer, estudios afectivos. Política, intelectuales y espacio público, memoria cultural, políticas de la memoria.
2. Redes intelectuales, circulación transnacional y archivo: Relaciones entre España, Europa y América. Traducción, recepción y transferencias culturales. Exilio republicano y diásporas intelectuales. Cultura de lo impreso y humanidades digitales: imprentas, editoriales, revistas culturales, epistolarios, manuscritos y otros fondos documentales. Métodos digitales aplicados al estudio del 27: bibliotecas digitales y nuevos recursos de investigación.
3. Cultura visual e intermedialidad. Creadores ligados a la Generación de 27: fotografía, cine, ilustración, música, danza y artes plásticas.
4. Ecocrítica, espacio y materialidades: Representaciones del paisaje y la naturaleza. Ciudad, modernidad y espacio urbano. Humanidades medioambientales y estudios poshumanistas. Estudios sobre objetos, infraestructuras y materialidades.
Normas para la presentación de propuestas

6. Bibliografía básica (5-10 referencias).

Además, deberá adjuntarse una nota biográfica de entre 100 y 150 palabras que incluya afiliación institucional, principales líneas de investigación, publicaciones relevantes y código ORCID.

Tuscany and the Iberian Empires Migration and Knowledge Transmission in the Early Modern Period

TUSCANY AND THE IBERIAN EMPIRES: Migration and Knowledge Transmission in the Early Modern Period

In the early modern period (c. 1500-1700), Iberian religious refugees, scholars, merchants, and diplomats took up residence in Tuscany. In search of protection or fame, they weaved a network that linked Iberia, Tuscany, and wider imperial territories. New Christians, Moriscos, and other communities displaced by persecution—as well as intellectuals, philosophers, medical practitioners, envoys, diplomats, and other intermediaries—mediated the circulation of knowledge, materials, and political interests between courts, universities, and religious institutions.

By taking a broad view of these encounters, this workshop aims to explore the multiple and layered presence of Iberian agents in early modern Tuscany between c. 1500 and 1700. Papers may also address the reception and assimilation of knowledge, materials, and ideas from the Portuguese and Spanish empires within Italian contexts.

WE PARTICULARLY ENCOURAGE CONTRIBUTIONS WHICH ADDRESS TOPICS INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO:

Mobility, exile, and forced migration networks across the Iberian world–including its overseas possessions—and Tuscany.
The circulation of scientific, technical, ethnographic, and medical knowledge among Iberian and Tuscan institutions.
The representation and reception of the Portuguese and Spanish empires in Tuscan political thought, literature, science, and art.
Diplomacy, espionage, and political brokerage within and between courts.
Material and cultural transfers: books, maps, instruments, liturgical objects, and technologies.
Comparative, micro-historical, and transregional approaches are especially welcome. We also encourage interdisciplinary perspectives that draw on the history of science, the history of medicine, religious studies, economic history, diplomacy, literature, art history, and Jewish studies.

ORGANIZERS:

João Covolan (Scuola Normale Superiore, Pisa); David Soares Mesquita (Centre for Classical Studies – University of Lisbon)

APPLICATION PROCESS:

The conference will take place at the Medici Archive Project in Via de’ Benci 10, Florence, on Friday, 30 October 2026.

To apply, please submit a PDF with an abstract( max 200 words), along with a short Bio (max 100 words), by July 15, 2026 to: education@medici.org.

Successful applicants will be notified by August 1, 2026.

Papers may be read in either English or Italian, and presentations should not exceed 20 minutes.

PUBLICATION:

Selected papers will be included in an edited volume published by the Medici Archive Project Series with Brepols/Harvey Miller.

CFP: Translation, Transposition, and Travel in the Global Nineteenth Century

/in ,

Society for Global Nineteenth-Century Studies World Congress
Global Studies Center, Gulf University for Science and Technology, Kuwait
16-19 January 2025
Translation, Transposition, and Travel in the Global Nineteenth Century

Keynote speakers:
Regenia Gagnier, University of Exeter
Marwan Kraidy, Northwestern University Qatar
Arthur Asseraf, University of Cambridge
Sarga Moussa, Université Sorbonne Nouvelle

The period between 1750 and 1914 was marked by change, motion, and mobility. Advances in transport and the expansion of imperial powers brought together an array of peoples and facilitated contact between different cultures. These cultural encounters spurred the discovery of new information and of efforts to transmit, mask, or contain it. Translation played a seminal role in informing the public about the changing world and its interconnections. Imaginative writings and scientific concepts were subject to transposition and adaptation across languages and cultures. Indeed, global modernizing processes were due, to some extent, to travel, translation, and transposition.

For its second world congress to be held in Kuwait from 16 to 19 January 2025, the Society for Global Nineteenth-Century Studies is pleased to invite proposals on the theme of “Translation, Transposition, and Travel in the Global Nineteenth Century.” We welcome proposals for papers and panels that explore transits between places, languages, cultures, and ideas. Topics may include (but are not limited to):

· Travel and adventure

· Initiatic journeys

· Travel narratives and nautical fiction

· Pilgrimage

· Slave trade and the forced movement of peoples

· Circulations, transfers, and migrations

· Nomadism

· Problems in translation (e.g., political humour, the absurd, nonsense, etc.)

· Exile and displacement

· Explorers and expeditions

· Science fiction

· Intermedial translation

· Steamers and trains

· Colonization

· Translation and life writing

· Transfer of knowledge

· Cultural transposition

· Adaptation across cultures

· Transmediality and transnationalism

· Transfer and transmission

· Texts and their contexts

· Transposition in music

· Transposition and translation

· Travel maps and cartographies of navigation

· Books as travelling objects

· Photography, painting, and travel

· Tourism and visual culture

· Nomadic narratives

· Translation and the discovery of new cultures

· The re/discovery of ancient civilizations/Egyptomania

· Translation and the discovery of European modernity

In addition to paper and panel proposals related to the conference theme, we also welcome proposals for prearranged special panels on topics in global nineteenth-century studies more broadly:

Methodology OR Pedagogy Roundtables: Sessions focused on methodological approaches to studying and practical strategies for teaching the nineteenth century in a global context. (Either format can include, for example, creative writing panels.)

Big Ideas: Sessions focused on a single thought-provoking topic related to the global nineteenth century. The format may vary from standard panels (three presenters and a moderator) to lightning roundtables (five to eight presenters delivering short, provocative position papers) to others that may be proposed.

Proposals (deadline extended to 10 May 2024)
Individual paper proposals should consist of an abstract (200-250 words), brief biography (80- 100 words), and full contact information in a single pdf document or Word file. Panel proposals should include abstracts for 3-4 papers, a brief rationale that connects the papers (100-200 words), and biographies of each participant (80-100 words) in a single pdf or Word file. All proposals should include 3 to 5 keywords. Successful panel proposals will include participants from more than one institution, and, ideally, represent a mix of disciplines/fields and career stages. Panel proposals should also indicate the category for evaluation: general conference program or special session; Methodology or Pedagogy Roundtable; or Big Ideas. Although the working language of the conference is English, a limited number of slots will be available for presentations in Arabic and French.

Location and requirements
The congress will be held at the Global Studies Center, Gulf University for Science and Technology, in Kuwait. Modern, prosperous, and safe, Kuwait boasts a unique cultural mix, a longstanding tradition of the theatrical arts, diverse cuisine, and some of the best beaches in the region. Presenters, panel chairs, and workshop participants must be current members of the Society for Global Nineteenth-Century Studies at the time of the World Congress. For more information on membership, visit www.global19c.com. Proposals and questions should be directed to the Program Committee: societygncs@gmail.com.

An Ambivalent Empire: Spain and Informal Imperialism in the Long 19th Century
CALL FOR ABSTRACTS
July 16-17, 2024, Viña del Mar, Chile. Hybrid Format.
Universidad Adolfo Ibáñez, Centro de Estudios Americanos

Workshop

The collapse of the Catholic Monarchy in America gave rise to a process of reconfiguration of the Spanish strategic culture. The Spanish empire went from being a multicontinental power to a state relegated to its peninsular space and the insular domains of the Caribbean, the Atlantic and the Pacific. Once the reconquering expectations of the last absolutist governments (1823-1833) had been discredited, the political elites of Elizabethan Spain were strained by two contradictory tendencies. On the one hand, the Monarchy found itself in a financial and diplomatic dependence on France and the United Kingdom. On the other hand, the preservation of important overseas territories incited the governments of Madrid to project scenarios for the geopolitical regeneration of Spain as a global power. The workshop will explore how Spanish administrations, diplomats and thinkers confronted this contradiction, which places the Spanish Monarchy as both subject and object of informal imperialism.

Proposals and questions should be addressed to
rodrigo.escribano@uai.cl

am.vicentfanconi@gmail.com

Deadline for individual paper proposals: April 30th

Individual paper proposals should consist of an abstract (200-250 words), a short biography (80-100 words) and complete contact information in a single PDF or Word file. The working languages of the conference are English and Spanish.
