In 1974, Françoise d’Eaubonne coined the term ecofeminism in Le féminisme ou la mort, foregrounding the intertwined domination of women and nature and calling for the liberation of both from systems of exploitation. Since its emergence, ecofeminism has inspired scholars and activists across disciplines and global contexts.

Call For Chapter Proposals – The Edinburgh Companion to Contemporary Modernisms

Editors: Ruth Clemens, John Greaney, Maebh Long, Barry Sheils

This year’s MCLLM theme invites exploration of how literature, language, and performance illuminate intersecting dimensions of justice. How are inherited forms, genres, and rhetorical strategies reactivated in contemporary struggles for equity? In what ways do linguistic, literary, and artistic practices navigate, resist, and respond to the abuse of power while imagining alternative futures? 

MCLLM welcomes proposals from a wide range of disciplines and expression forms. The list below provides a sense of the topics the organizers are interested in seeing, but it is not an all-inclusive list. Please submit a proposal that represents your interpretation of our theme!

Revista de Estudios Norteamericanos

Call for Contributions

Revista de Estudios Norteamericanos invites submissions for

its 30th volume (2026). The journal is an international, peer-reviewed, English- language publication dedicated to U.S. Studies in their broadest sense, including literary, cultural, historical, artistic, and critical perspectives. Published annually by the University of Seville and supported by the Spanish Association for American Studies, the journal has contributed to advancing U.S. Studies scholarship since 1992.

Scope and Review Process

On November 26, 1976, the Sex Pistols released “Anarchy in the UK” in Great Britain, the first single from what would become Never Mind the Bollocks, Here Comes the Sex Pistols the following year. This conference – part of a larger project involving a series of events in Bordeaux and a collaboration with the Lycée Magendie (Magendie high school) – takes as it starting point the 50th anniversary of the release, on November 26, 2026, while seeking to investigate the meaning of such a celebration.

This panel examines configurations of masculinity that have emerged in conjunction with contemporary global political, technological, and cultural shifts in the last decade. We invite papers that engage with films across geographical contexts. Please submit a 250-word abstract and bio.

Deadline for submissions: March 10, 2026.

Megha Anwer, Purdue University (manwer@purdue.edu) and Anupama Arora, University of Massachusetts Dartmouth (aarora@umassd.edu)

We are pleased to announce that the theme for our 3rd annual online Conference is Fame and Fortune. We invite submissions to both the conference and the journal on this theme.

What roles do ‘hierarchy’ and ‘egality’, as values and practices, play in the everyday lives of South Asian traditions? Hierarchy as a value in the social life of Hinduism has been much discussed. Scholarship has tended to contrast a transhistorical Hindu hierarchy with egalitarian elements of Muslim, Christian, Buddhist and Sikh thought in South Asia, framing ubiquitous caste-like social forms among the latter traditions as anomalous. Yet careful studies of everyday life in the religious traditions of South Asia suggest that a far more heterogeneous set of social imaginaries and a far more complex entanglement of hierarchy and egality are, in fact, shaping the trajectory of both inter-caste and inter-religious relations and practices.

Frank Lloyd Wright began wintering in the Sonoran Desert in the late 1920s, where the region’s extreme climate and tectonic landscape shaped by sun, erosion, and wind profoundly influenced his thinking about architecture. How did Wright respond to the beautiful yet hostile desert environment?

“There is more savagery, more brutality, in the pages of Wuthering Heights than in any novel of the nineteenth century, and, for good measure, more beauty too, more poetry, and, what is more unusual, a complete lack of sexual emotion…” Daphne du Maurier.

Impregnable: Mediated Meanings of the Body in Resistance

Impregnability has many strong meanings - not becoming pregnant but also capable of withstanding assault. It's a term that lives in connotative alignment with infertility, of non- and un-reproducibility, but it also carries presence over absence, power over victimization. Think protesters who link arms to create an impregnable wall of resistance. Think castles that cannot be stormed. Indeed, the word literally means “unable to be defeated or destroyed; unassailable.”
