Call For Papers for Special Issue of Early Popular Visual Culture
Cosmoramas and Other Peep Practices 1800-1880
Before virtual reality, peeping has long been a widespread media practice. Since the 18th century, the world has been presented in lensed and boxed apparatuses that aroused wonder and seduced audiences. Our contemporary culture of immersion was initially launched by peepshows and cosmoramas: one of the earliest media systems in Europe that produced and distributed views.

“Creative Approaches to Epistemic Violence”
Where does sensing occur: within the sensory organ, the perceived object, or somewhere in between? This panel draws on insights from environmental media to explore the history of sensations. We examine how the environment not only shapes our sensory reality but has also been used historically to define, measure, and standardize the senses.
In John Ford’s raucous tragicomedy, The Lover’s Melancholy (1628), the proto-psychiatrist Corax attempts an experimental treatment on his forlorn melancholic patients: he stages a masque – acted by the allegorical figures of psychic ailments, including Dotage, Phrenitis, Hypochondria, St. Vitus’ Dance, Hydrophobia (rabies), and Lycanthropia (the delusion that you’ve transformed into a wolf) – in order to shake his afflicted clients out of their melancholic funk. Pulling from Robert Burton’s massive tome, The Anatomy of Melancholy, Ford’s play showcases the sheer variety of madnesses – even within a subgenre such as “melancholy” – that were active, endemic, and of great dramatic interest in early modern England.

Abstract deadline: 1 November 2024

The art of calligraphy, with its elegance, precision and expressive power holds a celebrated place among the arts of China, Japan and the Middle East, and is much studied as a result. Western calligraphy using the Roman-script, by contrast, is relatively neglected within academia.
However, given current interest in both drawing research and grapho-linguistics – the study of writing systems – the time is ripe to explore the fascinating intersection of visual art and written language with a scholarly volume on Western calligraphy studies, broadly defined.
The Society of Nineteenth Century Historians, in partnership with the Pamplin College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences at Augusta University, presents the 32nd Annual Symposium on the 19th Century Press.

In the last few decades, courses on the Middle Ages and medieval studies programs have been either cut or severely restricted in the United States. In fact, recently a variety of humanities programs have been on the chopping block, forcing and providing an opportunity for specialists in medieval studies to integrate our specialties into other courses. This year’s Illinois Medieval Association Symposium seeks to explore issues incorporating medieval studies into our curricula. We seek papers that deal with problems/solutions, opportunities, and innovations. Single papers (20-minute length) and, especially, full sessions are encouraged.
Dear Colleagues,
We have the pleasure to invite you to submit articles for our next issue, due April 2025. We receive papers on Literature (not that of ancient Greece or Rome), Media Studies, Film Studies, Visual and Performative Arts, and Teaching (Language and Literature). Papers in said areas need to focus on the following themes: Nationalism/Post-nationalism, Colonialism/Postcolonialism/Decolonization, Race, Gender Studies, Ethnicity, and Identity.
We are: CEEOL, Ulrichsweb, MLA Directory of Periodicals, DOAJ, EBSCO, ERIH PLUS, SCOPUS. We also archive our journal in the Internet Archive.
