Roger Corman’s Horror Movies: collected essays
edited by Sue Matheson
Part of theLexington Books Horror Studiesseries edited by Carl Sederholm
We are bringing out an edited collection of essays with the working title Time is Power: Temporality and Caste. Time is an ontological phenomenon organized around humans’ need for social interaction and collective life, often compelling individuals to be chrono-normative or abide by a rigid clock. Currently little scholarship exists which examines the power of time and temporal agency in an environment organized by systems of caste and other intersecting identities.

ALA Annual Conference (May 21-24, 2025, Boston, MA) — Wallace Stevens’s Essays
"Mind-Game" is film theorist Thomas Elsaesser's name for the wide variety of films made since the 1990s that present puzzling, complex, and/or impossible narrative devices and structures that play games with spectators' expectations for how traditional narrative films work. For familiar Hollywood examples, think Christopher Nolan (Inception) and M. Night Shyamalan (The Sixth Sense), but perhaps more emblematic are the films of David Lynch and Apichatpong Weerasethakul and cult classics like Donnie Darko and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

"The Future of the American Literary Archive" panel at NeMLA 2025 (March 6-9, Philadelphia) invites panelists to share archival discoveries in American literature while also engaging in broader methodological reflections on the state of archival research in the humanities. In the context of explaining their own archival work and/or pedagogy, panelists will discuss how archival research has been impacted—for better or for worse—by tectonic shifts in the US humanities landscape including technological developments (AI, digitization), declining undergraduate humanities enrollments, and calls for more public-facing humanities scholarship readable to a general audience.

The Ever-Evolving Marketing of Language Programs: Searching for Strategies that Fit
In the often-quoted line from her groundbreaking Borderlands/la frontera, Gloria Anzaldúa identifies the US/Mexico borderlands as a site of pain and creation: “The U.S-Mexican border es una herida abierta where the Third World grates against the first and bleeds. And before a scab forms it hemorrhages again, the lifeblood of two worlds merging to form a third country — a border culture” (25). While Anzaldúa uses the geo-political border as a means of illustrating the unnatural divides governments impose on peoples, she also recognizes that we create many borderlands within ourselves and our own communities: psychological, sexual, and spiritual.
