CFP SPECIAL ISSUE OF ANGLES - NEW PERSPECTIVES ON THE ANGLOPHONE WORLD 

PUBLICATION DATE: APRIL 2027

THE LIVES AND AFTERLIVES OF COOKIE MUELLER: TALES, KINSHIPS, PERSISTENCE

Russell Crowe’s talents were globally recognized in the early 2000s after he appeared in a slate of well-received films – L.A. Confidential, Gladiator, and A Beautiful Mind, among others – that earned him critical acclaim. Nevertheless, in the years following these productions, he has continued to be a part of numerous projects with international and creative appeal. Alongside his films are his associations with Roman soccer teams – established in Spera’s (2023) chapter in my recent volume on Gladiator (https://vernonpress.com/book/1213) – his social media presence, and his musical performances.

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. 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:

I. Individual Proposal Submission Guidelines: 

This symposium, due to be held on 9th June 2025, proposes to investigate the formal or informal infrastructures and networks which sustain (or, perhaps, inhibit) the production, preservation, curation, distribution and analysis of artists’ books in Britain now. We are actively seeking contributions not just from academics and doctoral students working in the field, but from all those involved in the artists’ books and small press ecosystem, from retailers to publishers to librarians to artists. This symposium is supported by a grant from the Association for Art History.
