Abstract:

This essay reflects on the meaning of ‘the political’ in relation to academic work, in particular Irish Studies and literary scholarship. Speaking from the standpoint of my involvements as an ally-activist in grassroots migrant justice organising and my work as an academic, the essay explores the intersections, conflicts, and contradictions at play at the intersections between academia and activism, the literary and the political, representation and self-representation, with a particular focus on the work of BAME writers, including writers and activists in the asylum seeker movement.

Abstract:

This article intends to present a review on the history and literature of racism and black activism in Brazil. It is divided into two parts: the first is focused on the way concepts such as racism and anti-racism were explored in Brazilian academia, the emergence of the racial democracy thesis and its critics, and academic militance. The second follows the development of black activism in Brazil since the proclamation of the Republic (1889) until today, including two periods of authoritarian government. Where literature in the field suggests there were three phases of black activism in Brazil,

Abstract:

Recent literair-historisch onderzoek heeft aangetoond dat activisme van een generatie opgroeiende schrijvers en intellectuelen niet alleen duidde op hun collaborerende bedrijvigheden maar ook op de literaire strategie die zij hanteerden. Zo kenden deze jonge Vlaamse, (inter-)nationalisten het woord een dermate grote politieke en zelfs ‘staatsgevaarlijke’ slagkracht toe, dat zij geloofden dat literatuur ook buiten de grenzen van de tekst de wereld konden veranderen. Van essentieel belang daarbij was de kennismaking met het Duitse Aktivismus, zoals dat door Kurt Hiller in het leven was geroepen.

Abstract:

This article explores Activism of Care, a form of activism offering strategies, implementation of skills and accessibility different from those offered by traditional activism. Activism of Care suggests that activist strategies are not universal, but instead should be tailored for specific communities’ structures, skills and intersectional positionings. This paper focuses on the implementation of Activism of Care by and for neurodivergent participants in fan fiction communities on Tumblr. It demonstrates ways Activism of Care is implemented to promote destigmatization of mental illnesses, and

Abstract This article explores the relationship between cosmopolitanism and nationalism through the example of a transnational literature written in an African language, Pulaar, considered from a multi-located perspective.

In the context of globalization, movements of linguistic revitalisation continue to grow and language has become a veritable tool for social action. This essay argues that, from a

Abstract:

At the turn of the twentieth century, Dakota artist-activist Gertrude Bonnin, widely known by her self-chosen name, Zitkala Ša, brought attention to the violence of compulsory boarding schools with a series of narrative essays published in the Atlantic Monthly.

This local story reveals that African American student activism was driven by social movements as well as the distinctive mission of the liberal arts college.

Abstract: Stenography, or the practice of shorthand writing systems, is viewed dismissively as rote transcription work, the opposite of literary creativity. However, Black writers and activists like Pauline Hopkins and Charles Chesnutt worked as stenographers to support themselves even as they engaged in the labor of writing. Expertise in shorthand offered the promise of upward mobility in the Jim Crow era for Black Americans. Despite being categorized as automatic work, stenography was also seen as a kind of authorial labor. With a focus on Hopkins and her fiction, this essay examines stenogr

Abstract:

Atwood’s MaddAddam trilogy mirrors the author’s commitment in the environmental debate, articulating, through the topos of the apocalypse, future scenarios due to modern-day generational environmental amnesia. This study focuses on the God’s Gardeners, the eco-religious group of The Year of the Flood (2009), the second volume of the trilogy.
