Oceans as Archives Conference, 4-6 July, University of Amsterdam

May 23, 2022/in News and Events /by Alberto Godioli

The Oceans as Archives conference contributes to the growing field of critical ocean studies, while intervening in the erasures and occlusions performed in scripting the field as a new terrain of inquiry. This three-day interdisciplinary conference brings together scholars, poets, artists, and activists to share and discuss work that centers the ocean as a source of knowledge and a method for thinking, writing, and critical praxis. The conference provides a space for sharing ideas and theories anchored in the longstanding critical traditions of Black (diaspora) studies, Pacific Islander studies, Critical Indigenous studies, Caribbean philosophy, postcolonial theory, and decolonial and anticolonial critique. There will be panel discussions, film screenings, poetry readings, performances, visual art, workshops, and conference papers. The conference will take place from 4 – 6 July 2022 at the University of Amsterdam. We are honored to announce that Dr. Alexis Pauline Gumbs will present the keynote lecture entitled “Relevant is Different Points on a Circle”: Audre Lorde and the Ocean Blue.” The keynote lecture will take place on July 5th and will be virtual.

  • About OSLOSL Netherlands Research School for Literary Studies The Netherlands Research School for Literary Studies (OSL) is the national research network for literary theory, comparative literature, Dutch literature, and the literatures of the major modern languages in the Netherlands. It was founded in 1995, and has flourished as a forum for debate and exchange of scholarly views in the field, also functioning as the principal Dutch provider of excellent, cutting-edge coursework and education for research students and PhD candidates in this field. The OSL framework brings together a group of approximately 100 scholars from seven Dutch universities. Literary Studies is a dynamic discipline. The OSL encourages the study of literature (understood as both the printed or digitized word as well as literary culture and the question of literariness) in its historical manifestations and dynamics, and from a variety of mutually complementary perspectives. The research of OSL members focuses on modern and contemporary literature. Within the OSL framework the complementary approaches of cultural history and cultural analysis are of equal standing and often combined. Focal points at the moment include: Cultural Identity and Memory Ideology, Ethics and Representation Remediation, Adaptation, and Translation Effects, Canonization, and (Institutional) Politics Postcolonialism and Globalization Reading and…
