Social Sciences and Humanities:  Track Chair – Contact Dr. Cheryl Edelson cedelson@chaminade.edu

Submissions from all fields of Humanities and Social Sciences are invited to submit.

We are seeking chapter submissions for an edited anthology on Anne Brontë and the question of female artistry. Though interest and scholarship in Anne has grown in recent years, the youngest Brontë sister is still the least known and researched. Her bicentennial in 2020 was interrupted by the pandemic, and so there was not the same celebration and promotion of her life and work as her sisters.

This anthology seeks chapters on the question of female artistry as it relates to Anne’s life and work. Topics may include (but are not limited to):

• The art (paintings, sketches, etc.) of Anne Brontë

• Anne Brontë’s artistry as an author

International Conference 'Eco-anxiety and Spirituality in Literature'

February 23-24, 2023

Extended abstract deadline: October 29, 2022

Over the past two decades, several institutions have emerged that collect, preserve, and make available for study obsolete media-technological artifacts and apparatuses: the Media Archaeological Fundus at Humboldt University, the online Museum of Obsolete Media, and the Media Archaeology Lab at CU Boulder are only a few of the most prominent examples.

Popular Culture Review is a peer-reviewed, academic journal.

Submissions for this Special Issue must be received by June 15, 2023. Please see our submission guidelines, current issue, and past issues at https://www.popularculturereview.org/

Call for Papers Popular Culture Review Special Issue: Black Popular Culture in America

For this special issue, Popular Culture Review is interested in articles related to all aspects of Black popular culture in America. This includes, but is certainly not limited to topics related to

art

literature

music

video games

food culture fashion

social media culture

television and film

The goal of this seminar is to provide a forum in which to discuss how TV shows (reality shows, true crime shows, documentary broadcasts, docufictions, and web series) bridge the gap between factual knowledge and myths, and how it facilitates the transfer of ordinary knowledge into the implausible, especially in Iberia and Latin America. Entertainment business and journalism intertwine to engage an audience oriented to the consumption of serialized narratives.

This is a call for paper submissions to a special issue of the open-access, peer-reviewed journal, Literature.  Here is the topic description:

Call for Papers for a Session at the 29th Lavender Languages & Linguistics Conference

March 9-11, 2023, Boise State University, Boise Idaho

Session focus: Queer/Trans Historical Linguistics

Session organizers : William Leap (American U/Florida Atlantic U) and David Peterson (U Nebraska at Omaha)

Queer and Trans Historical Linguistics (QTHL) is a rapidly emerging subfield in Language, Gender and Sexuality Studies. We now have a rich archive of information to show queer language can be explored historically, and to show that historical linguistic inquiry can address queer themes relevant to discussions of discourse and text in the present time.

Dear Colleagues,

We are looking for proposals for the second volume of Screening Sex: The Sex Scene.

The Sex Scene: Representation, Performance, Aesthetics is the second of two volumes that will launch the Screening Sex book series with Edinburgh University Press (the first: The Sex Scene: Space, Place, Industry). We are open to essays that will interrogate the form, function, politics and significance of the sex scene in film, television and beyond. Taking the ‘sex scene’ as a critical starting point for the book series, the two edited collections offer a critical exploration of the significance of sex on screen and in sexual cultures, combining original research with a review of existing and current literature and debates.
