Description
We live in a world where interfaces play an increasingly central role. Interfaces are our means of engaging with both technical and social realities; gradually, they become not only conditions of access to the world of technology but also intrinsic structures of our experience. The interfaces designed by major corporations, game developers, and social application creators set standards of perception and self-awareness, disciplining us and determining the measure of control. This makes it all the more crucial to continue experimenting with interfaces, developing a new semiotic, symbolic, and bodily grammar—a challenge embraced by digital artists, gamers, science fiction writers, and neuromancers of media reality.
MLA Toronto (January 8-11, 2026). Both John Ruskin and William Morris decried the evil effects of industrial blight on the environment, citing the impossibility of authentic art in the context of poverty and pollution. We seek papers that treat all aspects of this topic as reflected in literature, art, and social theory: broadened definitions of art, late-Victorian and modernist responses to urban industrialism, art for the masses, eco-socialism, utopian otherworlds, and the rise of urban design. Contributions on Canadian-related and contemporary material are also welcome. Please send abstracts and a brief c. v.
For MLA in Toronto (January 8-11, 2026), we welcome contributions on Morris, his associates, and their influence in relation to material culture: the Arts and Crafts movement, the portrayal of objects and environments in literature, and the meanings ascribed to “things.” In addition to seeking new approaches to the work of Morris and his circle in the book arts, stained glass, textiles, architecture, and landscape design, we seek reevaluations of materiality and concrete symbolism within Pre-Raphaelite writings more broadly as reflective of beliefs about identity, permanence, and change. Contributions on Morrisian and Arts and Crafts-related Canadian material culture are especially welcome. Please send abstracts and a brief c. v.

CALL FOR PROPOSALS
The concept of multiplicity has attained prominence largely through the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze (1925–1995). According to Sage Encyclopedia of Political Theory, “A multiplicity is an entity that originates from a folding or twisting of simple elements. Like a sand dune, a multiplicity is in constant flux, though it attains some consistency for a short or long duration. A multiplicity has porous boundaries and is defined provisionally by its variations and dimensions.” Deleuze and Guattari redefine multiplicities to revisit Western political theory and its conceptions of categories such as race, class, gender, language, state, society, person, and party.
In the very first year of the new millennium, the world witnessed the attacks on the World Trade Center, in New York City, on September 11. We all watched it numbly on television, as if it had been an action movie or an apocalyptic dystopia. This event has remained in the collective consciousness as the most tragic terrorist attack on American soil, with more than 3,000 deaths and a list of geopolitical consequences that have changed the world.

International Seminar on Indigenous Studies: Envisioning Janjatiya Gaurav: The Legacy of Birsa Munda and the Decolonisation of ‘Global’ Indigenous Studies
Date: March 26-27, 2025
Venue: Durgapur Women’s College, Durgapur, West Bengal, India

Convenor: Dr. Amitayu Chakraborty, Assistant Professor of English, Durgapur Women's College
Convenor's Profile:
This edited volume seeks contributions from scholars whose subject matter, methods, or researcher identities resonate with what might be considered peripheral in communication studies. We aim to explore how diverse perspectives—often shaped by specific contexts, marginalized identities or cases, or alternative approaches—can challenge, expand or be an alternative to traditional paradigms, perspectives and cases in the field. The concept of the periphery is not defined here as a rigid geographic or socio-political category, nor is it a simple counterpoint to the North or Western paradigms. Instead, we understand the periphery as a space where various ‘ways of being’ and ‘ways of doing’ emerge, offering insights into communication processes and practices.

This is a Call for Papers for a special issue of the online open-access double-blind peer-reviewed journal [Inter]sections, titled Laughing in the Face of Evil: Humorous Perspectives on Perpetrators in Contemporary American Literature and Popular Culture. We invite papers that ask what humor can contribute to our understanding of perpetrators by examining a selection of works from contemporary American literature and popular culture. Does humor help demythologize certain perpetrators whose international fame turned them into quasi-mythical figures? Can the ownership of humorous content about a traumatic situation or process endured by a specific marginalized community be transferred to other communities?
