Additional information below.
Romance Studies graduate students have announced the them for their spring 2022 conference: Knots.
Knots simultaneously are sources of friction and unity, existing concurrently to intertwine and imprison, to pull in and pull away. As both a literal and metaphorical concept, knots are sites of close contact and the tension that comes with such binds. Inspired by Maggie Nelson’s interpretation of knots in The Art of Cruelty (2011) based on Scottish anti-psychiatrist R.D. Laing’s poetic book, Knots (1970), that maps out “the various looping, self-imprisoning patterns of thought observed in his patients’ psyches,” this virtual conference will explore the tensions, frictions, unities, and entanglements connected to human
imaginaries and realities.

The deadline for submission is February 5, 2022 at 5pm. The conference will be held virtually on April 9, 2022.
