Proposals for conference papers are now being accepted for "Taylor Evermore: A Swift Symposium," held in person at Indiana University of Pennsylvania on April 25-26, 2025.
Taylor Swift has been referred to as “our modern Shakespeare,” placing her in conversation with the literary canon. Swift’s entire discography connects to, alludes to, and is inspired by writers across eras. From Coleridge, Wordsworth, Blake, and Baudelaire, to Plath, Cather, Austen, and Brontë, Taylor Swift’s discography ties invisible strings across literary history. This conference aims to assert Swift’s lyrics as “difficult poems” (Grossman) to recontextualize her body of work and other intense poetics.

Scope
Special Issue Call for Papers Bandung: Journal of the Global South Brutalism, Remaindered Life and World-making in the Precarious Global South: Representations in Fiction and Film
Objective
This special issue focuses on the critical practices that give rise to the notion of ‘brutalism’ and ‘remaindered life’ in the global South. Tied centrally to the militarized nature of neoliberalism, the concept of brutalism and remaindered life will be analyzed to understand how the divisive nature of neoliberalism is not only exploitative but aims to retain, even heighten the cultural supremacy, economic superstructure, and political power of the global North.
