1. Transmedia Explorations of Cannibalism: Dehumanizing Accusations and Empowering Rebuttals

This transmedia monograph takes the theoretical perspective of “cannibalism as discourse.” It includes ten chapters that focus on an accusation of cannibalism and then a counter-culture pushback that uses cannibalism as a source of contemplation, empowerment, and/or returns the accusation of cannibalism back to the hegemonic culture.

Special Issue Call for Papers Bandung: Journal of the Global South Brutalism, Remaindered Life and World-making in the Precarious Global South: Representations in Fiction and Film

Objective

This special issue focuses on the critical practices that give rise to the notion of ‘brutalism’ and ‘remaindered life’ in the global South. Tied centrally to the militarized nature of neoliberalism, the concept of brutalism and remaindered life will be analyzed to understand how the divisive nature of neoliberalism is not only exploitative but aims to retain, even heighten the cultural supremacy, economic superstructure, and political power of the global North.

Following the inaugural Henri Nouwen Lectureship, the Henri Nouwen Society, in partnership with the Oblate School of Theology, is pleased to announce an Academic Symposium dedicated to the life, work, and enduring influence of Henri Nouwen, a profound thinker and writer whose contributions to theology, spirituality, and pastoral care have inspired countless individuals and communities. This symposium aims to bring together scholars and practitioners to explore and critically engage with Nouwen’s rich body of work.

We are pleased to announce a special issue on AI in Art and Designing, and invite you to submit your original and unpublished research articles on this emerging and exciting topic. The special issue aims to explore the impact, challenges, and opportunities of artificial intelligence (AI) techniques, such as machine learning algorithms, on the creation and enhancement of digital artworks and designs. The special issue also welcomes critical and theoretical perspectives on the role and implications of AI in art and designing, as well as ethical and social issues related to AI art and design.

South Asian Expressions: Reimagining Narratives, Histories, and Cultures

South Asian literature presents an intricate and layered depiction of the life, history, and identity of the people within their geopolitical spaces of belonging and beyond. These narratives delve into the socio-political complexities, cultural tensions, and resilient identities shaped by colonial legacies and postcolonial realities. Addressing themes such as the impact of British colonialism and the upheavals of national and cultural divisions, this body of literature intricately portrays intersections of gender, caste, religion, and class, capturing the evolving dimensions of South Asian identity.
