Postcolonial Interventions invites academic articles for the upcoming June 2021 issue of the Journal which will be an Open Issue.

While the COVID-19 pandemic has plunged the world into similar processes of distress, loss and anxiety, it has also exacerbated authoritarian inclinations in various nation-states, widened socio-economic disparities and hardened competing fundamentalisms. It is hoped that the prospective submissions will take into account these recent upheavals alongside the usual explorations of literary and cultural representations focusing on postcolonial concerns from various corners of the globe.

Over the past seventy years, neoliberal thinkers have strategically reinvented classical liberal ideals in order to privilege a sense of personal freedom over the perceived overreach of government intervention. Once considered a fringe movement, neoliberalism has steadily become the central tenet of American life. It is now nearly impossible, for example, to imagine any mainstream voice espousing tax hikes or championing the sorts of policies enacted under Franklin Delano Roosevelt or Lyndon Johnson. Promises of privatization today trump collective action in virtually every aspect of life.

The Fifth International Edgar Allan Poe conference—now scheduled to take place live, April 7-10,2022, at Boston’s historic Omni Parker House—will complete Poe’s triumphant return to the cityof his birth.

Surviving eighteenth-century brickbuildings near the hotel include the Old State House (1713), Old Corner Bookstore (1718), OldSouth Meeting House (1729), Faneuil Hall (1742), and New State House (1798).

How do altmetrics, indicators beyond citation-based metrics, lend themselves to humanities? What remains invisible, uncounted, untold? Responsible metrics vis-à-vis the language of publication, dissemination channels or publication formats?

We invite short presentations (7-10 minutes) that address these questions for a session at the 2022 MLA Convention in Washington, DC.

Please submit an abstract of approximately 200 words.
