PCA True Crime CFP – Special Topics 2025
Abstract Submission Deadline: December 7th, 2024
PCA/ACA will be held from April 16-19th, 2025 in New Orleans, LA
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.
Acta Ludologica (ISSN 2585-8599, e-ISSN 2585-9218) is a double-blind peer-reviewed scientific journal published twice a year in both online and print versions. It focuses on the comprehensive discourse of games and digital games, including theoretical and empirical studies, research results, and their implementation into practice, as well as professional publication reviews and scientific reviews of digital games.
Acta Ludologica is inviting manuscripts for Vol. 8, No. 1, scheduled to be published in June 2025. The deadline for submissions is December 31, 2024.

Panel at ALA 2025 in Boston
“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).

The American Humor Studies Association (AHSA) plans to offer three panels.
One panel, “New Directions,” will provide an opportunity for innovative thinking on new and old topics.
This first panel will give priority to early career scholars—untenured faculty, newly-minted PhDs, and graduate students writing dissertations.
The second panel will be open-ended, but we will be especially interested in papers focusing on comic artifacts in digital formats, e. g. texts and images produced by generative AI, memes, viral videos, comment threads in social media platforms or websites.
The American Humor Studies Association (AHSA) is putting together a pre-constituted panel for submission to the 2025 Console-ing Passions conference, held at Georgia State University in Atlanta from June 27-29, 2025.
hosted online on 15–16 January 2025, at 11 am (+2 GMT)

Critical hegemony tracing the start of the Second Golden Age of Television to the release of HBO’s The Sopranos in 1999 means that several properties released before that time have flown under the academic radar. Oz (1997-2003), the first serial drama ever produced by HBO, contains all the tightly plotted storytelling and enhanced aesthetics Alexis Pichard defines as key features of Golden Age television, and achieved the required level of popular success with both audiences and critics.

Interest in the philosophical ideas of the Greek and Roman Stoics has burgeoned over the
past three decades, and Stoicism is experiencing a fascinating resurgence into various
facets of U.S. literature and culture. Although this popularity across diverse groups of
readers seems new, Stoicism has had a long if changeable history in the U.S.—from the
Puritan colonial settlers (who brought Stoic texts with them across the Atlantic) and

Join us in Los Angeles for the 39th annual MELUS conference!
April 3-6, 2025
Hosted by Cal State LA
Conference Theme: MELUS Outside
Deadline for Abstracts: December 6, 2024
The theme of the 2025 MVSA conference is "Genealogies." The conference dates are April 3-6, 2025, and the location is Fort Wayne, IN. Please see the conference page here.
MVSA Conference Seminars are small, with eight to ten participants each. Participants exchange work to read ahead of the 2025 conference and meet in a closed, collaborative session to discuss overlaps in their papers, refine their ideas, and think about how to move their work forward.
Inspired by Fort Wayne’s proximity to the Allen County Library, with its large genealogical center, MVSA 2025 takes the theme of “Genealogies.” We encourage participants to think about origins and descent broadly speaking and across disciplines. Genealogies were powerful scientific tools or narrative red herrings, and they were also sources of anxiety for Victorians. Of course, people have genealogies, but so do ideas, artistic forms, and texts, including scholarly concepts and methods themselves. MVSA invites proposals for papers that present, interrogate, explore, celebrate, and puncture material and textual genealogies.
Papers Might Take up Issues Including, but not Limited to:
The world’s steady sloping toward 21st century fascism took an even more precipitous slide with the US electoral victory of Donald Trump in this fall’s election. There is no way to fully capture where different folks are at in their (dis)orientation to this unfolding fascism—physio-psycho- socio-affectio-logically—but feeling grief, rage, numbness, disgust, despair, flattened, scattered, scared, and intermixtures of all these (and many more) are surely in the running as immediate but inadequate visceral descriptors for this moment.
