THE 56TH ANNUAL COMPARATIVE LITERATURE CONFERENCE: Culture Jamming and the Art of Subversion: A Multidisciplinary Perspective

CWL is proud to hold our 56th annual Comparative Literature Conference: “Culture Jamming and the Art of Subversion: A Multidisciplinary Perspective.” Here is a link to the program. We’ll be in the Anatol Center, MHB 315, and on Zoom.

This year a number of our CLA colleagues are participating. Amir Sharifi from Linguistics is presenting on “Linguistic Jamming of Kurdish Teachers in Iran,” Ann Johnson from Comm Studies is presenting “Lasting images from the Levitation at the 1967 March on the Pentagon,” and José Rodriguez is giving the talk “The Good Guy as an Ethical Performance of Civil Disobedience in Hitman’s Wife’s Body Guard and Free Guy: An Analysis of Subversive Identity, Intentionality, and Agency in Contemporary Film.” Shout outs to all!

We also have a comics roundtable, “From Comics to Cosplay: How Creators and Fans are Reclaiming Identity,” which is SIG co-sponsored by CHLS and faculty from English and COMM. Thanks so much for the support!

And there’s more! Culture jamming how-to’s, and maybe our participants from Mariupol State University (who are heading to central Ukraine now) will talk about dissident art (they submitted their proposal last fall before everything happened).
