Call for Proposals: Special Issue on Pauline E. Hopkins for New England Quarterly
The Victorians Institute Journal (VIJ) is now accepting submissions for Volume 54. The VIJ is an award-winning scholarly journal of Victorian and Edwardian literary and cultural studies. We publish a variety of pieces, including articles, reviews, and rare texts. For further details, visit https://vijournal.org/.

The special issue of our open access, Q2 journal explores how contemporary literary, artistic and cultural practices engage with, interrogate, and imagine decolonial ecologies. While decolonial ecology is best understood as a constellation of different ideas, schools, and disciplines, Malcom Ferdinand’s insistence on the politicization of ecology offers a useful point of departure. In his book, Decolonial Ecology: Thinking from the Caribbean World (2019; English trans. 2022), Ferdinand identifies a “double fracture” in modernity:the colonial fracture, which produces hierarchies among people, and the environmental fracture, which separates humans from nature, treating the latter as an object of exploitation.

The inaugural issue of Co(n)texts: Journal of Language, Literature and Culture, a peer-reviewed, open-access journal of the Department of English, Central University of Punjab, Bathinda, seeks to explore emerging directions in humanities scholarship.

Body-Worn Cameras and the Visual Politics of Violence: Embodied Witnessing
Edited by Lewis Rarm (Victoria University of Wellington) and Federico Selvini (IULM University)
The special issue of our open access, Q2 journal explores how contemporary literary, artistic and cultural practices engage with, interrogate, and imagine decolonial ecologies. While decolonial ecology is best understood as a constellation of different ideas, schools, and disciplines, Malcom Ferdinand’s insistence on the politicization of ecology offers a useful point of departure. In his book, Decolonial Ecology: Thinking from the Caribbean World (2019; English trans. 2022), Ferdinand identifies a “double fracture” in modernity:the colonial fracture, which produces hierarchies among people, and the environmental fracture, which separates humans from nature, treating the latter as an object of exploitation.
We are all part of the body politic, and a wound to one is a wound to us all. In this spirit, we invite essays that excavate the less visible impact of ICE’s local mobilizations on Midwestern communities, the imprint on our bodies and spaces—not just on our streets, but in the quiet of our kitchens. Like the diversity of Midwestern landscapes, these essays will illuminate the varied physical, intellectual, spiritual, and artistic responses that arise from the violence of the state against its own people. Essays should be between 750 to 3000 words in length. Along with essays, we will consider poetry, photography, and graphic non-fiction.

The Velvet Light Trap, Volume 100 (to be published fall 2027)
Submission deadline: September 20, 2026
This is a final call for papers for the Journal of Beat Studies' 14th volume, welcoming new and renewed contributions on any Beat Generation or Beat Generation-adjacent relevant subject (including the New York School, Black Mountain College, San Francisco Renaissance, Umbra Writers Workshop, etc.). The journal is interested in essays that reconsider familiar figures, recover overlooked ones, and explore the connections as well as any frictions between these overlapping scenes and their legacies.
West Coast Review (SDSU Press) is seeking art, flash fiction, short stories, and any creative prose that falls in-between. This includes creative non-fiction, memoires, craft essays and experimental prose pieces. We accept all genres--we just want pieces that are bold and embrace the diversity found on the west coast!
Guidelines:
We are currently accepting flash fiction, short stories, and any creative prose that falls in-between (this includes creative non-fiction, craft essays, and experimental work). Our maximum word count is 5000 words. For flash fiction, we accept up to three stories in a single submission.
We are seeking chapter proposals for a new edited collection entitled Modern Meta Myths, examining intersections of mythic adaptation/reception with critical self-awareness. The collection aims to bring together a diverse array of chapters, working through different methodologies, generic focuses, and analyzing adaptations/receptions of various world mythological traditions. We define “myth” broadly, to include legends, fairy tales, religious stories, even folk tales, in addition to more traditional bodies of mythology. In particular, we’re excited to read proposals about world mythic engagement beyond the Euro-American tradition.

While the purpose-built playhouses of early modern London – such as the Globe, Rose, and Blackfriars – dominate histories of early modern performance, theatrical activity frequently spilled out into non-dedicated, non-purpose-built sites. Command performances often took place at the royal court or on country estates, while the evidence for London playing companies on tour compiled by projects such as Records of Early English Drama (REED) has unveiled a rich regional theatre history in guildhalls, chapels, inn yards, open streets, and even the deck of an East India Company ship. Performance in early modern England was profoundly adaptable.

CALL FOR PAPERS: The Post-apocalypse in Cinema and Television (edited book)
Edited by Christina Lee (Curtin University)
I am soliciting contributions for a scholarly, edited book that will explore representations of the post-apocalypse on-screen, specifically in cinema and television. While the “apocalypse” denotes a cataclysmic finale, what is left in its wake is an equally provocative thought experiment. To borrow from the seminal work of James Berger: what comes “after the end”?
