Dear Scholars and Researchers,
We are pleased to announce an exciting opportunity to contribute to the advancement of scholarly discourse in the field of contemporary poetics. The Journal of Contemporary Poetics is seeking enthusiastic and dedicated individuals to join our esteemed editorial team as Co-Editors.
The Mediterranean has often been considered a transitional space—a rite of passage, an interval between borders, a route to conquest. But what of the Mediterranean as a context and a framework in itself? How might notions of ‘man,’ ‘nation,’ ‘empire,’ ‘center,’ and ‘periphery’ be reformulated when looked at from the perspective of the sea? What does comparative literature look like when the Mediterranean is viewed not only as a sea in which cultures exist and literatures are produced but also as a context or a framework in which they can be reassessed?
The themed issue on “The AI Revolution” aims to discuss and disseminate the latest research on the impact of artificial intelligence on human life, its representation in art and literature and its academic possibilities. With our declared orientation to the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals, the issue will look forward to sharing research on how the Goals can be achieved through holistic multidisciplinary approaches.
Authors from any discipline can submit papers. But the journal will not publish papers that belong purely to the disciplines of science and technology, medicine, and business management. We will publish papers that are interdisciplinary in nature engaging in discussion relevant to humanities and social sciences.

The Medieval and Renaissance Drama Society (MRDS) will honor V. A. Kolve (1934-2022) with a panel of topics on medieval drama at the International Congress on Medieval Studies at Western Michigan University, May 9-11, 2024. The Play Called Corpus Christi has been especially influential in medieval English drama studies, and its arguments about the significance of laughter, play, game, comic action, and time and space in the English biblical plays continue to shape the critical conversation. The MRDS invites those who have been influenced by Kolve’s work on early drama, or who studied or worked with him, to celebrate his legacy with papers that respond to or converse with Kolve’s contributions to the field.

Dear Colleagues,
Please consider submitting an abstract to the following roundtable at the NeMLA's 56th convention in Boston (March 7-10) by September 30, 2023. Questions on the roundtable can be addressed to Arianna Fognani (afognani@sas.upenn.edu)
FORMAT: Roundtable. Participants give brief, informal presentations followed by an open conversation and debate.
If this year's NeMLA Convention centers around the thematic of "surplus," this panel will consider its corollary in the problem of "scarcity." Situating our inquiry in the Global Cold War, which is shaped by the afterlives of decolonization, this panel asks: how might scarcity inflect our understanding of this period? Does it simply connote a lack or loss of unfulfilled revolutionary promises? Or does it point to a system of material debt that shapes cultural expression? Or, perhaps, scarcity might indicate a purposeful obfuscation of meaning that is consequently withdrawn from instrumentalization by political life, therefore incommensurate with nationalist or neo-imperial projects in the twentieth century.
Accepting abstracts for NeMLA 2024 until September 30th!
Next year’s convention will take place March 7th to 10th in Boston, MA.
Panel: Activism in Diaspora: Resistance Movements through Literature, Film and Digital Media
Panel Description:
At the 2023 “Resilience, Failure, and Academic Identity” Roundtable, we participated in a candid conversation that generated inspiring ideas about “thrivance” and saying, “NO” in multiple and strategic ways. Building on this discussion, the 2024 WGS Sponsored Roundtable “Refusal, Disruption, and Persistence in Academia” focuses on strategies such as refusal, disruption, and persistence in academia from an intersectional perspective that focusses on gendered racialization.
Call for papers: NeMLA Boston, Massachusetts

In February 2022, German chancellor Olaf Scholz gave a speech to the German parliament in response to and denunciation of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Describing the moment as a ‘turning point’, Scholz referred to Putin’s act of aggression as a watershed moment that altered geopolitical reality and announced a volte-face in Germany’s defence and energy policies. This conference adopts the contemporary moment, which also sees the reality and spectre of armed conflict across many parts of the Global South, as an inflection point for reconsidering representations of war across a range of screen media: from narrative cinema to moving image installation; streaming to VR.
