WE ARE LOOKING FOR ESSAYS, REVIEWS, RESPONSES, POETRY, PROSE, AND VISUAL ART

Our engagement and consideration of conflicts, both national and international, has undoubtedly changed in the 21st century, especially in recent years. With the aid of media and modern technology, individuals and communities have a bigger space and opportunity to respond to geopolitical events which are both geographically far away and yet have never been closer.

The International Journal on Stereo & Immersive Media has extended the deadline for submission of papers to be considered for its 2024 issue, vol. 8. Full paper submissions are due June 16. 

As late Spring often allows for clearer and more focused work, the editors are once again inviting submissions in a broad spectrum of themes related to visual and sonic media studies.

When we call something a cliché, we’re typically calling it tired, banal, repetitive, or boring. Whether it’s an art object, a turn of speech, or a pattern of behavior, we’re identifying what it lacks: distinctiveness, originality, creativity, thrill. But in pointing to a cliché, we’re also pointing to a response. Noticing cliché creates a fissure. It elicits a reflexive movement, by which we’re forced to reckon with the repetitiousness of language; the ideological and economic structures that shape the creation of art; the social patterns that guide how we relate and self-present. Pointing to cliché, in other words, opens up the possibility for subversion.

We are seeking proposals for paper presentations (individual or special session) across all areas of film & media critical studies. Sessions will likely be organized topically and according to SCMLA's traditional Regular Sessions in 'English-language Film' and 'Global Film.' The topic is broadly conceived and open, and approaches may favor criticism, theory, history, or additional approaches.

One or more sessions in film and media studies will be held during the SCMLA annual meeting in New Orleans from 19-21 September 2024. Please see the general CFP for more information -- https://www.southcentralmla.org/conference/

With the advent of capitalism, always gendered and racialised, as a mode of production, profound changes have taken place in the ways in which various societies, human relations and ecosystems have evolved (Moore, 2016, Kaplan 2009). Technological development has always been integral to the directions and configurations of capitalism, as it has evolved over the last three centuries. Further, the globalisation of capitalism, with the imperialist phase of European expansionism, followed by US-American expansionism as well as later, in the emergence of Chinese state capitalism, has brought technology to the front and centre of social, economic and political relations at every level (Lewis, 2022).

The U.S. South is often a forgotten space within ecocritical discussions, yet it provides fruitful ground for thinking about environmental issues. In 2019, in the first edited collection of essays on the topic, Zachary Vernon notes that focusing attention on this bioregion might help “provide a way out of the limitations of thinking too locally or too globally,” and it might inspire a group of stakeholders to come to the table as well (7). One problem with ecocritical approaches is the long history of representing the U.S. South as an “internal other in the national imagination: colonized, subordinate, primitive, developmentally arrested, or even regressive” (Watson 254).

In 1971, when the Cuban government launched the Anniversary of the Triumph of the Revolution Crime Fiction award, local literary critics were acutely aware of the genre’s roots in a capitalist setting. Yet, José Antonio Portuondo considered that crime fiction could serve a purpose within a Communist framework of life, provided it underwent adaptation to suit the new context. Over the following years, Cuban journals published numerous programmatic texts aimed at guiding writers willing to produce what would be termed Revolutionary crime fiction. Similar adjustments took place in other Soviet bloc countries, albeit with varying degrees of success and popularity.
