Ceræ - An Australasian Journal of Medieval and Early Modern Studies
deadline for submissions: 
Wednesday, April 30, 2025

We at Ceræ are pleased to announce that the theme for Volume 12 of the journal is Dreams, Visions, and Utopias, and we invite submissions that contemplate what is the arguably most ubiquitous and diverse literary genre of the medieval and early modern centuries.

Dreams and visions could be personal or communal. They could be of the past, present, or future. Some touched on real events or people, while others were entirely imaginary, and most were somewhere in between. They can encompass the horrors of nightmares to the bliss of salvation, or calls for political freedom and mobilisation as much as an afternoon daydreaming in the sunshine.

Millions experienced physical and mental trauma as a result of the First World War. Government and private organizations attempted to mitigate the war’s impact in multiple ways – whether through direct medical care, through social support, or through rehabilitative assistance.  This panel seeks to explore official and unofficial infrastructures of caregiving that surfaced during the war and postwar periods, with particular interest in the way that these systems are examined and evaluated in writing and the visual arts.  Papers on all aspects of the war’s caregiving infrastructure are welcome.

Eighteenth-century global history is a history of seas and oceans. International trade and migration stretched across all continents. Britain’s colonial empire, and the trades on which it thrived – not least the Slave Trade – was driven by its domination of the world’s waterways. The port city of Liverpool was a major gateway for Britain’s contact with the wider world through maritime routes. This complemented the complex network of domestic waterways – rivers, canals – which played a significant part in Britain’s industrial revolution.

“What Like It’s Hard?” Representations and Remediations of Academia in Popular Culture

Throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, popular culture increasingly served as an intermediary to present and, in some cases, reimagine academia and the academy for mass audiences. This mediation results from an assembly of narratives from various media forms and contexts, both by those inside and outside the academy. The result is a vision of the academy in Western popular culture that is exciting and inviting at turns, but is more frequently shark-like, insular, and intimidating.

Concept Note

 

In recent decades, the term Global South has come to signify the distinctions between the industrialised nations of the “North” and the comparatively less developed nations of the “South.” The Global North-South designation, however, is not strictly geographical but instead reflects various geopolitical, economic, and ecological commonalities between countries.
