MOBILITIES

Appel à communication : INCS (Interdisciplinary Nineteenth-Century Studies) 2015 Conference – deadline: ***Nov. 24, 2014***

MOBILITIES

Hosted by the Georgia Institute of Technology
April 16-19, 2015
Loews Hotel, Atlanta, GA

Keynote Speakers: Philippa Levine (UT-Austin) and Priscilla Wald (Duke)

The nineteenth century has long been understood as an era of industrial growth, scientific discovery, technological innovation, and imperial expansion. Such sweeping global transformations relied on a complex web of relations between humans and machines, individuals and systems, ideas and practices, as well as more efficient and frequent movement across increasingly connected networks of space. From railroad travel to advances in shipping, from the movement of immigrants, enslaved laborers, scientists and colonial settlers, to the circulation of ideas, bodies, and/as commodities, nineteenth-century mobilities challenged and reconfigured the very constitution of subjects, nations, and cultures across the globe. We seek papers that investigate the various mobilities and exchanges of the nineteenth century. What did it mean to be mobile (or immobile) in this period? How were political, scientific, and cultural ideas exchanged in new ways? How did people maintain and create new alliances and affiliations? How might notions of a more mobile sense of nature, the world, and the self influence our understanding of this era?  Possible topics include, but are not limited to:

•        Mapping, geographies, travel                                         Exile, migration, borders
•        Transportation and communication networks                       Information, collection, and data
•        Communities, networks, and alliances                         Germs, diseases, contagion
•        Mobile/immobile bodies                                             Prosthetics, physical culture
•        The body as a circulatory system                             Medical and scientific networks
•        Imperialism, warfare, journalism                             Circulating texts, sensation fiction
•        The press, publishing, mobility and digitization                    Cities, networks of industry
•        Education, circulating knowledge                             Teaching the nineteenth century
•        Visual culture, mobility and cinema, photography             Neo-Victorian culture, steampunk
