“Imagining Deleuze’s Romanticism”
NASSR (North American Society for the Study of Romanticism) 2025 Virtual CFP
The Jonathan Bayliss Society invites proposals for a roundtable on American experimental fiction. Beginning at least as early as Moby-Dick, American experimental fiction flourishes in the work of Stein, Burroughs, Pynchon, Gass, and Bayliss, and continues today with such writers as Giannina Braschi, Karen Russell, Colson Whitehead, Lance Olsen, and Mark Danielewski. Such writers disrupt conventions of genre, style, syntax, diction, propriety, narrative form, page layout, and much more. We are interested in papers devoted to particular works or authors as well as more wide-ranging or theoretical approaches to the topic.
Special Issue: Reconceptualizing Sustainability Literacies
Action on behalf of life transforms…as we work to heal the earth, the earth heals us.

Food fests, feasts, and gatherings address the role of food in events, gatherings, celebrations, and ceremonies. Exploring how people incorporate ideas about food into festival culture, including history, heritage, tradition, creativity, and social and political factors.
In addition, it examines festivals in which food is not the main focus, yet contributes significantly to the atmosphere, memory, and tradition. It also looks at people's fascination with taste. In addition to examining these notions, we will also examine trends in the consumption and production of food.

Call for papers: Visual Culture, Popular Culure Association 2025
An inherently interdisciplinary field, visual culture studies investigates images, media, and art in the contexts of sharing, producing, consuming, saving, and communicating. What defines visual culture, perhaps, is its resistance to definition. WJT MItchell’s (2002) landmark essay summed it up coherently when we proposed 8 “counter-theses,” two of which read as follows:
“Visual culture encourages reflection on the differences between art and non-art, visual and verbal signs, and rations between different sensory and semiotic modes.
“To be neurodivergent is to reclaim the pathologizing aspects of a long-term cognitive diagnosis and to reclaim one’s neuro-status as a possible position from which to claim resources, representation and recognition” (Stenning and Bertisldottir Rosqvist 1535).

In A Dying Colonialism (1959), Frantz Fanon, one of the most significant thinkers on decolonisation, writes firmly:
‘There is not occupation of territory, on the one hand, and independence of persons on the other. It is the country as a whole, its history, its daily pulsation that are contested, disfigured, in the hope of a final destruction’ (p. 65).

Divination, Witchcraft & the Occult *SPECIAL TOPIC*
Popular Culture Association Conference
16-19 April 2025
New Orleans, Louisiana, US
The broad interest in divination, witchcraft, and the occult has been part of popular culture for centuries. Scholars’ discomfort with the topic is often palpable: they tend to focus on intersections that feel more legitimate, e.g. legal ramifications (laws against occult practice, witch trials etc), or archival documents, or simply sticking to fictional accounts.

Communities and the discourses they foster play a crucial role in shaping how games are both designed and experienced. Salen and Zimmerman (2004) describe how games are cultural artefacts engaged with dynamic exchanges of meaning with their surrounding cultural contexts. These open cultural contexts influence can transform both games and their environments. Consalvo (2007) expands this understanding by discussing how videogame paratexts, such as guides and fan-created content, serve as vital pedagogical tools that shape how players approach and engage with games.
