In line with this working group’s established practice, we have identified three loose strands that reflect the recent work of scholars in the wider field of political performances, and that also align with the 2025 conference theme: Performing Carnival!
Calcutta Research Group (www.mcrg.ac.in) will conduct an online orientation course on the city of our time, under the specific theme “Making and Unmaking of Cities”. This online certificate course will be held from 15 February to 31 March 2025. It will have twelve lectures (two lectures on Saturdays / weekends) encompassing accounts of making and unmaking of cities in South Asia and the world, issues of urban autonomy and sovereignty, struggles for rights and urban justice, as well as dominant stories that cities tell of themselves. Some of the discussions will be anchored in a political-economy perspective throwing light on forms of labour in global South, which include cities of South Asia.

The Paranoid Realities of David Cronenberg: The Occult Body Techno-politic as Magical Medium
The Area for Esotericism, Occultism, and Magic invites special panel presentation proposals on the paranoid realities of David Cronenberg to be included in its events at the 46th annual conference of the Southwest Popular/American Culture Association, held this February 19-22 in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Contagions and Non-Human Animals: (Re)Viewing Disregarded Species in Real and Imagined Pandemics
The impact of the pandemic and the threat that it poses to future human experiences has been well-documented. However, now that non-human animals are possible carriers and becoming infected, their experiences, while often overlooked, are nevertheless integrated into the worldwide pandemic.
Thus, this collection seeks to balance essays about non-human animals during real-world pandemics, such as the COVID-19 one, with those of their experiences during literary or cinematic ones. The scope of this call for papers is broad and can include topics such as:
--Animals as victims of contagions
The twentieth anniversary of Ridley Scott’s Gladiator (2000) was an important moment in film history, for it not only marked a great film and work of art, but it also reminded audiences how peplum and historical epics still mattered. The edited collection “A Hero Will Endure”: Essays at the Twentieth Anniversary of ‘Gladiator’ (2023) provided insights on the film two decades after its release.
Yet now there is a sequel with a November 2024 release. This CFP therefore serves to build on the work done in the 2023 essays and provide a further avenue of exploration for connections between the two films as well as innovative readings of Gladiator 2 on its own.
Topics include, but are not limited to:
This call for papers seeks two specific chapters on Medusa for a volume intended for the series, Villains and Creatures.
Each chapter of the volume is intended to be an overview of depictions of Medusa in specific kinds of media; nevertheless, the arguments/theses of each chapter should still be original, using past works and research to develop a current (new) perspective on Medusa.
The chapters needed include one on Ancient Drama and another on Modern Drama.
Chapters will be due in May 2025. Chapters should be approximately 5,000 to 7,000 words, with Chicago-style endnotes and a bibliography page.

The MELUS Women of Color Caucus (WOCC) seeks scholars whose literary analysis (i.e., the examination of fiction, poetry, non-fiction, plays, film, music, and/or TV) of works by women of color centers approaches to literary research, especially work that makes visible or accounts for women of color’s invisibility and/or seeks to fill gaps in the canon and archives around experiences. Our models for this work include scholars and theorists such as Saidiya Hartman, Christina Sharpe, and Audre Lorde, and essayists such as Cathy Park Hong, Claudia Rankine, Elissa Washuta, and Carmen Maria Machado. These approaches can include:

International conference "‘ Change life ", 100 years later: Surrealism from the origins till now" (December 9 and 10, 2024)
This year marks the centenary of the publication of the surrealist manifesto. The surrealist movement, itself derived from Dada, has since experienced internationalization and rebirths. In recent years, the movement has benefited from new insights while literary and artistic criticisms have sought to highlight figures and aspects hitherto neglected: the essential place of women in movement, its international dimension, its Relations with negritude and the criticism of colonialism, its intermediality, the multiplicity of its artistic practices.

Call for Papers: James Baldwin Review Panel/Roundtable
Baldwin Again and Again
Call for Chapter ProposalsAthletes Breaking Bad Tooan edited collection of scholarly analyses In sports, the action on the field is only part of the story. Beyond scores and stats, we find powerful narratives that make athletes into icons, rebels, or even villains. Every era sees certain athletes defy social norms, ruffle feathers, and challenge the status quo—figures often branded as "bad boys/girls." This label is more than just a headline; it’s a reflection of shifting cultural values as it speaks to what a sport and society deem acceptable—or unforgivable.
Call for Papers -- Play in the Long Nineteenth Century
17th January 2025
University of Kent, Canterbury, UK
While the long nineteenth century is not immediately associated with playfulness, scholars recognise it as a period that revolutionised play, whether as an end (Johan Huizinga, Homo Ludens 1944) or a reimaging (Matthew Kaiser, The World in Play, 2011). Games were ubiquitous throughout the period, hundreds of dedicated recreational spaces (museums, playgrounds, parks) were established, and a new cult of leisure took root that reshaped both public and private life.

The ongoing interdependence between the United Kingdom and the United States dates back further than the "Special Relationship" popularized by British Prime Minister Winston Churchill in 1946. In the early decades of their independence, the United States maintained strong cultural ties with the United Kingdom (cf.
