Fraught with moral, religious, racial, sexual, and transgressive configurations, the body is a potent site for reflective practices within popular culture. The self-reflexive matrix of popular culture’s representations of human body functions as a site for materializing possibilities of varying forms of living. As a cultural sign, body features in both normative and non-normative debates on identity, selfhood, social relations, power, institutional surveillance and regulation. The practice of its representations, on the other hand, traditionally enables a culture of shared meaning-making which shapes how an individual perceives, thinks, feels, and acts amidst the production and circulation of discourses.

IL PARLAGGIO

ISSN 2280-6849

This section of the academic journal “Sinestesieonline” is open to contributions about theatre and performing arts in all historical ages, forms and variations, in English, Italian and foreign languages. We use double blind peer review.

“Il Parlaggio” is the name created by Gabriele d’Annunzio for the amphitheatre in Vittoriale – a place of empathy, a cradle of emotions, a crossroads of cultures, a connection between antiquity and contemporaneity, an emblem of the “neverending show”.

What scares us? Why do we sleep with the lights on? What creatures wait to grab a foot sticking out from under the covers? Why do we avoid the woods after dark?

This special issue of Humanities is themed on “Re-Imagining Classical Monsters.” Acrossall cultures, there have been monsters that have terrified, taught, othered, and much more. This issue will take a broad look at how modern authors and artists across genres conceptualize creatures—non-human as well as human—that haunt the imagination.

The World Social Science Association's 67th annual conference's Asian Studies section is currently accepting panel proposals and abstracts. The conference will be held at the Sheraton Grand Hotel in Seattle, WA from April 2nd through April 5th, 2025. 

The Asian Studies section seeks to explore a diverse array of topics through various lenses, including but not limited to sociology, anthropology, gender studies, and more. We encourage innovative and critical approaches that address contemporary and historical issues. Past panels have included papers on diaspora communities, intercultural exchange, literature and popular culture, as well as comparative studies. 

Discussions on urbanity tend to be focused primarily on the materiality of lived experience: conditions of housing, access to livelihood opportunities and basic services, concerns on ecological commons, and so on. Cities are often imagined in terms of their economic value to regions and societies, as growth engines, as sites of consumption and production, or as regenerative nodes in the wider relay of transnational capital. With humanity turning urban at an unprecedented scale, it is common now to frame conversations on urbanisation in terms of challenges and opportunities, problems and solutions, irredeemable and transformational amidst a widening matrix of actants and stakeholders.
