Concept Note
In a significant portion of feminist criticism in its populist interpretation, there is an ongoing sense of wanting to shape feminine characters from legends, folklore, and history into models for a kind of feminism and perceived empowerment more closely associated with twenty-first-century understandings of the feminine than those directly connected to social, historical, or cultural sources. This backcasting and interpretation changes these characters into ones that would better suit a modern set of beliefs through syncretism and the creation not of folkloric or cultural beliefs but of a folkloresque sense of the subject.

‘Everything must ring like elizabethan english and like those gentlemen I always seem to be
mentioning ‘the Poets’. There is a light upon them especially upon the elizabethans and our
‘special’ set – Keats, W.W. Coleridge Shelley De Quincey and Co. […] Those are the people
with whom I want to live – those are the men I feel are our brothers’. (Letter to John
Middleton Murry, 4–5 March 1918)
Researchers at Northumbria University and the Open University invite contributions for a peer-reviewed edited collection of essays on Culture and Offence.
Our current ‘age of offence’ demands that we reflect critically on debates about trigger warnings, ‘cancel culture’, ‘anti-wokeness’, and free speech, to ask:
For a long time, historians showed limited interest in studying the history of the extreme right after 1945. In recent years, however, there has been a significant upsurge in the research on this topic. The rise of extreme-right movements and political parties has spurred numerous research projects, especially in Germany. These projects explore not only the aftermath of National Socialism, but also the emergence of a so-called New Right within the framework of democratic societies. Similar research initiatives have also gained momentum in countries such as France, Italy, Austria, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, reflecting the growing influence of the extreme right across Europe.

CFP: MEDIA REVIEWERS and SCHOLARLY ARTICLES – MIDDLE WEST REVIEW
Middle West Review (MWR) is a peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary journal that examines the American Midwest. The journal is published biannually by the University of Nebraska Press.
MWR is seeking scholars to review media texts that engage with midwestern identity, history, and/or culture. From popular films and television series to online exhibitions and digital archives, MWR spotlights Midwest-oriented media texts in each issue.
Digital platforms have never been a gender-neutral space, not only in the sense that they bring different experiences to people of different gender identities, but also because it has been structured in gendered ways—no matter it’s the gender imbalance existing in technology design teams, the gender-specific target audience segmentation, or third-parties’ involvement in reinforcing gender norms. Its gendered structures have also been further complicated by users’ actions. Instead of accepting gendered platforms as a default design, we encourage presentations to think of platforms as a cultural form that embodies larger social and political structures.
