The editor of a volume tentatively titled Redefining Paradise is looking for submissions focusing on 21st-century, environmentally oriented fiction written in California and the American West.

The Journal of Avant-Garde Studies (JAGS) and its guest editors invite submissions for the special issue “Las Vanguardistas: Spanish Women Poets in Transnational Contexts (1920–1975)”.

By proposing this special issue, we aim to foster a global understanding of avant-garde movements and highlight the key role of Spanish women poets in the transnational avant-garde scene from the 1920s to the 1970s. To this end, we welcome academic articles that focus on, but are not limited to, the following topics:

- Transnational Literary Networks between Spanish, European and Latin American Women Poets.

- Spanish Women and the Avant-Garde Press: Women’s Contributions to Avant-Garde Magazines.

DEADLINE EXTENDED TO OCTOBER 8

"The complex relation between the private, the individual and loneliness is unique and necessary to Adorno’s work, despite the rich annoyance of his particular mode of provocation.” (Fred Moten, “The Phonographic mise-en-scene” 2004)

In this seminar, we wish to examine how people of different positionalities vis a vis the ‘center’ and ‘peripheries’ of modern research universities, practice comparative literary studies within institutions which, from the start, were built upon the logic of exclusion and exclusionary tactics.  The “modern university” stands in a long tradition of colonial and racialized traditions of knowledge-making which purported to be secular and universalizable.

Call for Papers: “Latinx Visions”

The staff at PenumbraOnline.org are seeking reviews of contemporary books, films, albums, podcasts, and television shows of 600-900 words for our Fall 2021 Online Issue. Penumbra Online is currently beginning the second part of their 2021 Love Series which is titled Love for Others. We encourage reviewers to focus their reviews on material that focuses on some form of love for others. Reviewed material must have a 2020 or 2021 publication or release date, and interested writers must submit their review proposals by 11 October 2021, and if accepted, final products must be submitted by 5 November 2021. Accepted reviews will be professionally copyedited and must be submitted in MLA format.

The Lamar Journal of the Humanities, a peer-reviewed, scholarly indexed interdisciplinary journal, invites papers for its 2021-22 Special Issue on “9/11 and Its Aftermath.” 

The 20th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on 9/11 offers a timely opportunity to reflect on the tremendous influence that fateful morning has had over the last two decades. Technically the new century began on the first day of 2000, and the new millennium on the first day of 2001, but the new world arrived on that Tuesday—a world that, for better or worse, we largely still inhabit. It is in this spirit that we dedicate our 2021-22 issue to scholarly examinations of 9/11 and its aftermath, associations, and phenomena.

Epic and Iconic: Essays on the Work, Influence, and Legacy of Alex Ross

Edited by Robert Moses Peaslee and Robert G. Weiner

Nelson Alexander Ross, better known as Alex, has exerted nearly thirty years of profound influence upon sequential art storytelling. Ross emerged into the comics world in the early 1990s with his work on Terminator: Burning Earth, Marvels, and Kingdom Come, immediately establishing his photorealistic style of painting, influenced by Norman Rockwell, Salvador Dali, and Andrew Loomis, among others.
