Edited Volume on Can I Believe?: Postcolonial Religiosity in the Post-Truth Era
Edited by Fardun Ali Middya & Md Ujan Ahmad
Since his debut inFantastic Four #48, the Silver Surfer has become an integral part of Marvel Comic’s sprawlinguniverse. In his six-decade existence, the character has been featured in merchandise and Marvel’s transmedia properties, including cartoons, movies, video games, and podcasts.
While there exists a smattering of academic research on the Silver Surfer, this edited collection welcomes differing perspectives on thischaracter. We welcome contributions from different disciplinary and interdisciplinary perspectives, including comics studies, film and media studies, communication, theology, literary criticism, and so on.
This panel seeks to investigate the intersection of postmodernism and horror cinema in the 21st century, highlighting shifts in themes, the rise of new filmmakers, innovative production techniques, and the ways in which the genre has absorbed and requalified postmodernist conventions. Comparative studies among American, European, and/or non-Western cinema are encouraged.
We would like to remind you that there are only a few days left to submit proposals for the I Cine Bárbaras – International Conference on Cinema and Audiovisual, which will take place on October 23–24, 2025, at Universidade Lusófona – Centro Universitário do Porto.

Digital Intimacies 11: The Love of Machines (Dec 3 to 5, 2025)
In the contemporary intimacy landscape, machines have emerged not merely as mediators but as potential objects of desire. From sophisticated dating apps that claim to decode compatibility, to conversational agents scripting our seductions, to synthetic lovers rendering human connection obsolete—machines don’t just shape digital intimacies; they reconfigure the terrain upon which intimacy itself is constructed.

André Breton, one of the founding figures of Surrealism, emphasizes the transformative and disruptive power of Surrealist art and thought in his famous quote:
Anaphora's two journals, Pennsylvania Literary Journal, and Cinematic Codes Review, are seeking submissions of all types of essays, reviews, and creative works.
This session is sponsored by the Mark Twain Circle of America.
American author Samuel Langhorne Clemens (1935-1910) achieved lasting fame as Mark Twain, an identity that served as both his pen name and the persona he cultivated for the public. Twain’s writings and his distinctive character have dispersed across time and space, and the resulting Twainian tradition incorporates these elements in many ways.

As of July 1, 2025, we are still seeking additional chapters for The Handbook of Indian Trans Cinema: Film, Television, and Web Series to complement the 50+ confirmed chapters. Proposals are due July 1, 2025.
While most chapters examine Indian cinema with clearly transgender characters, we also welcome chapters for the handbook’s first theme, “Transing Cinema with No Transgender Characters,” showing how trans theories provoke new interpretations of film and television that don’t explicitly address transgender topics. For example, Dr. Amitabh Vikram Dwivedi’s chapter “Transing the Lens in Hindi Cinema” studies the following films:
As of July 1, 2025, we are still seeking the chapters "Trans Cinema from the United States" and "Trans Cinema from the United Kingdom" for The Handbook of Trans Cinema. These are the final chapters needed to complete the handbook.
We have over 70 confirmed chapters exploring trans films from 6 continents.
Your chapter "Trans Cinema from the United States" or "Trans Cinema from the United Kingdom" should provide a broad survey and analysis of films with transgender themes from the respective country, while also examining at least three films in depth.

This special issue of Horror Studies aims to address female empowerment (cis- and transgender women) in literary and cinematic horror from 2010 to the present. The issue will showcase horror media (literature, films, television, and gaming) created by women. An intersectional approach should be applied to analyses, stressing categories of race, gender, sexuality, class and/or age in submissions. While we are interested in submissions focused on various forms of horror media, we are eager to receive submissions that foreground literary texts.
The call for submissions for the next general issue (2026) of the Australasian Journal of Popular Culture (ISSN 20455852 , ONLINE ISSN 20455860) is now open. The deadline for submissions of full articles for consideration is August 31 2025.
The Journal is indexed in SCOPUS (among others), and its remit is broad and international, publishing innovative scholarly research about a broad range of popular culture topics. Articles should be between 5,000 and 7,000 words and referenced using the Harvard style system. All articles submitted should be original work and must not be under consideration by other publications.

Democratisation of Space: The decline of the public and rise of the private?
History is horrifying. For horror creators in the twenty-first century, the terrors of the past have become central to the genre’s regeneration. The increasing diversity of who writes and creates horror has been tightly connected to the genre’s ability to depict otherwise occluded historical terrors. Critics have taken on horror’s relation of past and present as different subgenera, from what Sheri-Marie Harrison calls “the new Black Gothic” to Patricia Stuelke’s “anticapitalist feminist horror.”
