Researchers face challenges when investigating such sensitive topics and approaches will vary depending on the source of shock, the content of shocking material, the form it takes, and reactions to it. A proper categorisation of shock might explore how it is registered linguistically: how does it influence prosody and language choices? How do we communicate when we are shocked, and does it influence our efficiency? What linguistic elements make a statement shocking, and how can we recognise a shocked language user?\n\nWith this Graduate Forum, we hope to ignite a conversation not only on representations of shock and shocking representations in literature and language, but also on what comes after shock, lingering on responses to shock which search for new forms of response to events that once seemed extreme. What new sensations and responses might contend with shock in the twenty-first century? Recognising the numerous and diverse ways in which shock manifests itself in daily lives, the Organisers of the Graduate Forum of the 37th cycle of the PhD Programme in English Literatures, Language and Translation welcome contributions from both the fields of literary studies and linguistics that revolve around the concept of \u2018shock\u2019.\" class=\"wp-image-39\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aftershock2024.us.edu.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Call-for-Papers-2.png 1655w, https:\/\/aftershock2024.us.edu.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Call-for-Papers-2-212x300.png 212w, https:\/\/aftershock2024.us.edu.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Call-for-Papers-2-725x1024.png 725w, https:\/\/aftershock2024.us.edu.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Call-for-Papers-2-768x1085.png 768w, https:\/\/aftershock2024.us.edu.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Call-for-Papers-2-1087x1536.png 1087w, https:\/\/aftershock2024.us.edu.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Call-for-Papers-2-1449x2048.png 1449w, https:\/\/aftershock2024.us.edu.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Call-for-Papers-2-1568x2216.png 1568w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1655px) 100vw, 1655px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full alignfull is-style-twentytwentyone-border\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1655\" height=\"2339\" src=\"https:\/\/aftershock2024.us.edu.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Call-for-Papers-1-1.png\" alt=\"Call for Papers\n\nIn the face of ongoing disasters including the climate crisis, the pandemic, war in Europe and conflicts worldwide, as well as blatant manifestations of social injustice taking place on both a localised and a planetary scale, we might be prone to think that we have reached a capacity of response that is beyond shock, that we have become numb to events that affect us both directly and indirectly. Can literature continue to make felt and bring home the intolerability of everyday events that may otherwise pass without remark? Does our \u2018response-ability\u2019 depend on our being shocked, and how is such a response figured in language?\n\n\u2018Shock\u2019 has endured as a key term in literary studies for over a century. Its status as the sensation proper to modernity emerged in medical discourse in the nineteenth century and was then cemented by clinical studies of shell-shock after the First World War. It remains central to what Jeffrey T. Schnapp described as \u2018prevailing traumatocentric accounts of modernity\u2019 (Jeffrey T. Schnapp, \u2018Crash (Speed as Engine of Individuation)\u2019, Modernism\/Modernity 6, no. 1 (1999): 4). These accounts pass through a number of shocks: from early attempts to pathologise shock as a literal wound or tearing of tissues, to competing theories of shock as a result of enervation or overstimulation, up to post-Freudian understandings of shock as a traumatic penetration of the psyche\u2019s defences and Walter Benjamin\u2019s notion of the \u2018shock experience\u2019 as integral to urban life. If modernity is excessive, shock is the measure of that excess.\n\" class=\"wp-image-38\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aftershock2024.us.edu.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Call-for-Papers-1-1.png 1655w, https:\/\/aftershock2024.us.edu.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Call-for-Papers-1-1-212x300.png 212w, https:\/\/aftershock2024.us.edu.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Call-for-Papers-1-1-725x1024.png 725w, https:\/\/aftershock2024.us.edu.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Call-for-Papers-1-1-768x1085.png 768w, https:\/\/aftershock2024.us.edu.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Call-for-Papers-1-1-1087x1536.png 1087w, https:\/\/aftershock2024.us.edu.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Call-for-Papers-1-1-1449x2048.png 1449w, https:\/\/aftershock2024.us.edu.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Call-for-Papers-1-1-1568x2216.png 1568w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1655px) 100vw, 1655px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Steering and Organising Committee<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hal Coase, Paolo D&#8217;Indinosante, Sophie Eyssette, Giulia Magro, Sara Riccetti, Joanna Ryszka<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Scientific Committee<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/phd.uniroma1.it\/web\/COLLEGIO-DEI-DOCENTI-STUDI-IN-LETTERATURE,-LINGUA-E-TRADUZIONE-INGLESE_nB3564_IT.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Faculty Board of the PhD Programme in SELLT<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Conference Sponsor<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.anglistica.it\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.anglistica.it\">Associazione Italiana di Anglistica<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.anglistica.it\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.anglistica.it\">(Italian Association of English Studies)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Steering and Organising Committee Hal Coase, Paolo D&#8217;Indinosante, Sophie Eyssette, Giulia Magro, Sara Riccetti, Joanna Ryszka Scientific Committee The Faculty Board of the PhD Programme in SELLT Conference Sponsor Associazione Italiana di Anglistica(Italian Association of English Studies)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-6","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aftershock2024.us.edu.pl\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/6","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aftershock2024.us.edu.pl\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aftershock2024.us.edu.pl\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aftershock2024.us.edu.pl\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aftershock2024.us.edu.pl\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6"}],"version-history":[{"count":16,"href":"https:\/\/aftershock2024.us.edu.pl\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/6\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":111,"href":"https:\/\/aftershock2024.us.edu.pl\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/6\/revisions\/111"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aftershock2024.us.edu.pl\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
