Chapters are needed for an edited collection entitled Monsters with Minds of Their Own in Western and Global Literatures and Media. This collection seeks to contribute to a series on the non-human in literature and culture. It aims at examining (the intersections between) the notions of monstrosity and evil in the literary and artistic depictions of non-human and hybrid (or post-human) intelligence in different cultural and historical contexts. It focuses on the representation of monsters and creatures that have cognitive abilities as well as on the demonizing and vilification of artificially or magically enhanced human intelligence.

ReFocus: The Films of Guru Dutt

deadline for submissions: 
Wednesday, November 20, 2024

Guru Dutt’s films are integral to the golden age of Hindi cinema as they were both critical and commercial successes. In a short career spanning twenty years, Dutt has served as an actor, a director, and a producer. His versatility is testament to a deep understanding of every aspect of filmmaking. Critics contend that contradictory ideas coalesced in his movies. A prominent theme of nationalism is at the heart of Dutt’s oeuvre. While he set out to refashion Indian national identity, Dutt envisioned a utopia for the new nation. Ideologically, Dutt was influenced by Nehruvian socialism, which finds its expression in his selection of subjects and themes. His movies also critiqued the new nation’s failure to afford equal opportunities to every citizen.

Conservative Camp

Edited by Darin DeWitt and Nicole Seymour

We invite contributions for an edited volume titled Conservative Camp, on which we are working with the University of Minnesota Press’ Humanities Editor Leah Pennywark. This volume seeks to explain how camp aesthetics, long associated with the progressive Left and with queer communities in particular, have recently been appropriated by conservative movements, particularly by homophobic and transphobic figures on the Right.
