Scope

Social justice is the virtue which guides us in creating those organized human interactions we call institutions. In turn, social institutions, when justly organized, provide us with access to what is good for the person, both individually and in our associations with others. Social justice also imposes on each of us a personal responsibility to work with others to design and continually perfect our institutions as tools for personal and social development.

This panel invites papers addressing the formative roles played by the queer print infrastructures that established, defined, and perpetuated literary modernism. Via the material production systems of independent magazines, small-run presses, special edition printings, and specialist bookstores (including Shakespeare & Co., The Little Review, The Egoist, Hogarth Press, Fire!!, etc, etc) queer/non-normative people had a remarkable shaping effect on the material productions and aesthetic coherences/incoherences of commercial and ‘high’ modernism.

We invite submissions for the sixth issue of Theatre Academy: A Journal of World Theatre which will be published electronically in September. Theatre Academy is indexed in MLA International Bibliography, ERIH Plus and DOAJ.

* Deadline is the end of July but we strongly advise the potential writers to send their manuscripts in as soon as possible.

* Original works, not published elsewhere or related to theatre in any context will be considered for publication.

* Please note that all manuscripts will be closely examined through Turnitin once they are received by the journal.

CALL FOR PAPERS

The SAMLA conference is taking place in Atlanta, GA on Thursday, November, 6 – Saturday, November, 8, 2025 at the Wyndham Atlanta Buckhead Hotel & Conference Center. The proposed panel dovetails directly with this year’s conference theme “Knowledge.” Even as the past few years have highlighted death and the value of health, there still remains a lack of knowledge and studies concerning the reality of these experiences for some people, especially marginalized groups. This panel is open to all perspectives and seeks to explore death, health, and/or their intersections in the humanities and beyond.

This panel seeks proposals for papers that reflect on uselessness as a motif in post-1960 Anglophone literature. What sorts of aesthetic, political, and/or ethical stances do contemporary texts frame as useless, and why? Is uselessness conceivable as a literary or political end in itself? Topics that might be specifically addressed include, but are not limited to: modernist vs. postmodernist approaches to uselessness (how do they differ? Where do they overlap?); the affect(s) of contemporary uselessness; uselessness as a product of (or response to) AI technologies; and the pedagogical value of uselessness. Submissions that contest the viability of "uselessness" as a ground for literary and political critique are also very welcome.
