Cinematic Crossroads and Digital Frontiers

At a time when over two-thirds of the global population has access to the internet, the paradigms of media dissemination have
undergone a profound transformation. The dynamics between producers and content consumers have been redefined, thanks to
the proliferation of accessible technologies. This democratisation of media has empowered both amateur and professional creators to
express their artistic visions through the cinematic medium.

In her 2017 debut novel Conversations with Friends, Sally Rooney writes, “You can love more than one person” (Rooney 141). A statement so obvious, it’s not even worth stating. However, a simple edit—you can be in love with more than one person—suddenly becomes a much more controversial statement. 

Deceptive and unethical rhetorical strategies are increasingly prevalent in politics, media, digital spaces, and everyday conversations. Whether the result of a changing discursive landscape (McIntyre, 2018; Nichols, 2017), our enmeshment in digital environments (Bolter, 2019; Pigg, 2020; Gurri, 2018), or a reflection of long-standing rhetorical trends (Fuller, 2018; Roberts-Miller, 2019) that have simply accelerated in the digital age, the question of how to address these disingenuous rhetorics is a challenge for both scholars of rhetorical theory and researchers from across the disciplines.

Indiana English encourages submissions on the role of English studies in the Midwest but will consider submissions on any topic related to English literature and criticism, linguistics, or pedagogy. For this volume, we are particularly interested in exploring writings on national politics, the Midwest's impact on Presidential elections, works studying candidates who came from the Midwest, and the rich literary history that comes with such considerations (speeches, policies, educational content). We also publish original creative work (fiction, poetry, creative or literary nonfiction, and photography).

As today we see Western countries enacting various immigration laws and borders are being mined to prevent “intruders” from accessing those countries. Faced with (in)security in sub-Saharan Africa the African woman has become that monster of abjection residing in that marginal geography, dwelling in the gates of difference in unfamiliar spaces. The African woman faced with (im)migration goes through a strong feeling of revulsion, fear, or aversion, she is treated as something that is a threat to one's boundaries and undermines one's sense of identity and security, exemplifying Kristeva’s idea of abjection.

HJEAS Books:  Contemporary maternal subjectivities on the page and on the screen - Call for Papers for an edited collection 

In 21st-century Ireland, women have experienced several (r)evolutions in their political rights that have, in turn, shaped the imagination of the nation. Irish abortion law faced a major public challenge with the 2012 death of Savita Halappanavar after she was denied an abortion while suffering a septic miscarriage; in 2018, lawmakers passed a law that allows abortion up to week 12 of pregnancy, a small victory in a nation where abortion under any circumstances beyond saving the life of the mother was forbidden.

Hip hop began in the Bronx, NY, in the early 1970s, but the musical genre and cultural movement build from a rich history of Black American traditions, experience, and epistemology. This session seeks short presentations that will prompt a roundtable discussion about how hip hop has influenced and been influenced by American (r)evolution.
Some might argue that hip hop was and is a cultural (r)evolution for many reasons, including:

Beyond the Capitals of Decadence

Title: Beyond Backwardness: Revisiting Rural Spaces as Sites of Resistance, Renewal, and Radical Potential Organizers: David Delgado López (Visiting Assistant Professor, Carleton College), Kelly Ferguson (Assistant Professor, Miami University), Brittany Frodge (Lecturer, Ohio State University) Description: Due to varied complex historical processes such as industrialization, urbanization, and colonization, the rural has often been articulated in literature and other cultural products as an underdeveloped space tied to the past that can only progress through civilizing acts of modernization; Domingo Faustino Sarmiento’s Facundo or Civilization and Barbarism (Argentina, 1845), Camilo José
