‘Body horror,’ a subgenre devoted to corporeal transgressions, is undergoing a rebirth with films like Coralie Fargeat’s The Substance (2024)—a cautionary tale challenging the beauty industry and the gendered double standards of ageing. This emerging biopolitical discourse concerned with body dysmorphia, loss of control, abjection, susceptibility to illness and mutation is not limited to film. From classics like Frankenstein to Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, the Grand Guignol ghastly extends its arms to the literary sphere with emerging works like Mona Awad’s Rouge or Jeff Vandermeer’s Annihilation.

This edited volume seeks contributions from scholars whose subject matter, methods, or researcher

identities resonate with what might be considered peripheral in communication studies. We aim to

explore how diverse perspectives—often shaped by specific contexts, marginalized identities or

cases, or alternative approaches—can challenge, expand or be an alternative to traditional

paradigms, perspectives and cases in the field. The concept of the periphery is not defined here as a

rigid geographic or socio-political category, nor is it a simple counterpoint to the North or Western

paradigms. Instead, we understand the periphery as a space where various ‘ways of being’ and ‘ways

The Intersection of Literature and Censorship in Modern Society

Rethinking Race, Nation and Empire: Charles Dickens, Slavery, and the American Civil War

updated:

Salem State University
deadline for submissions: 
Tuesday, September 30, 2025

Rethinking Race, Nation and Empire: Charles Dickens, Slavery, and the American Civil War considers how the writings of Charles Dickens are shaped by—and contribute to—Victorian discourses of race, nation, and empire in the middle of the nineteenth century. The “discursive roots of modern racism lie in British, European, and colonial writings,” writes Patrick Brantlinger. But often unacknowledged is the “extent to which racism informed virtually all aspects of Romantic and Victorian culture” (Taming Cannibals 6-7).

This conference aims to examine the question of figurative art at the beginning of the 21st century. Nowadays, figurative artistic models are challenged by increasingly sophisticated technologies that reshape our definition of “the real,” and more particularly, of reality. AI-generated images tend to normalize manipulated and distorted representations of the world we live in and can sometimes become indistinguishable from real images (“deepfakes”).
