SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: Thanatofuturism: Making Space for the Marginal at a Tomb Shrine in Bangalore
DESCRIPTION:In the middle of Bangalore\, India\, a small dargah (Sufi tomb shrine) is a space of possibility for multiple marginalized groups\, facilitating imagined futures that include Muslims\, subaltern Hindus\, Dalits\, and hijras as full citizens of the Indian polity. At a time when powerful actors seek to limit national belonging to certain Hindu Indians\, Anna Bigelow argues that we have much to learn from such shrines and the people who intersect through them as they ground possible futures in the ethics and etiquette of the saintly dead and their spaces. \nAnna Bigelow is Associate Professor of Religious Studies at Stanford University\, specializing in Islamic Studies and the religions of South Asia and the Middle East. Her work focuses on Muslim devotional life\, especially sacred spaces and ritual practice. Her current research concerns the circulation of devotional objects at Sufi shrines in India and Turkey. \nSponsored by the IHC’s South Asian Religions and Cultures Research Focus Group\, Walter H. Capps Center\, and Department of Religious Studies

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: Writing Human Rights Across Borders
DESCRIPTION:Over the last two decades\, the figure of the migrant has become the central imaginary subject of human rights precisely because the universal acknowledgement of migrancy as a human rights issue has been lacking and inconsequential. During the same time\, a global literature of migration has emerged as an important medium that transcends national boundaries and calls for more universal formations of the legal status and acknowledgment of migrants as subject(s) of human rights. Such fictions of migrancy do not only illustrate how subjects on the move are imagined but emphatically link the universality of human rights and the global scale of injustice toward migrants to literature as a universal form of political rhetoric and a medium of social justice. Migrancy fictions\, Schneck and Zander will thus argue\, negotiate the contradictions and conflicts inherent in the legal formation of the migrant\, and reflect on how literary forms and narrative modes may present and suggest alternative visions of migrant subjectivity and agency. \nLaura Zander is a Research Fellow at the “Law and Literature” Collaborative Research Centre at the University of Muenster. Publications include Writing Back / Reading Forward: Reconsidering the Postcolonial Approach (Berlin 2019)\, as well as articles on law and literature\, gender and postcolonial studies\, and South African and Caribbean literature. Most recently\, she edited the volume Europe in Law and Literature: Transdisciplinary Voices in Conversation (DeGruyter 2023). Her current research focuses on human rights\, subjects on the move\, and fictions of migrancy. \nPeter Schneck is Professor and Chair of American Literature and Culture at Osnabrück University and currently the director of the Institute for English and American Studies. His publications include The U.S. and the Questions of Rights (Heidelberg 2020; co-ed) and Rhetoric and Evidence: Legal Conflict and Literary Representation in American Culture (Berlin\, 2011). Since 2019\, he has been leading a research group at Osnabrück University on the formation of literary property within the Collaborative Research Centre (SFB 1385) “Law and Literature\,” hosted by the WWU Münster and funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). His current research is concerned with human rights and global literatures of migration\, flight\, and dislocation. \nSponsored by the IHC’s Legal Humanities Research Focus Group

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: Between and Beyond Images and Words: A Multimodal Stylistic Study of Children’s Picturebooks
DESCRIPTION:A multimodal approach to children’s picturebooks focuses on how images and words (and their interactions) collaboratively make meaning. Narrative theory enriches picturebook studies by demonstrating how paratextual elements (book cover\, author’s note\, afterword\, etc.) complement the body text. Drawing on Gérard Genette’s (1997) distinction of “peritext” and “epitext” and Nina Nørgaard’s (2018) multimodal stylistics of the novel\, this talk treats another multimodal dimension of “quasi-textual” elements or features (such as typography\, layout\, page-turn\, gutter\, blank space\, paper quality\, etc.) that undergird the picturebook and enhance the reader’s engagement with the story. It concludes that a full understanding of picturebooks needs to take these quasi-textual aspects into account. \nZheng Ren is a Visiting Graduate Student at the University of California\, Santa Barbara and a Ph.D. candidate at Tsinghua University. Her research interests are multimodal stylistics and cognitive poetics of children’s picturebooks. She is a co-convener of 2023-2024 IHC Global Childhood Ecologies Research Focus Group and a member on the organizing team of the 26th International Research Society for Children’s Literature (IRSCL) Congress 2023. \nZoom attendance link here \nSponsored by the IHC’s Global Childhood Ecologies Research Focus Group and the Department of Germanic and Slavic Studies
