deadline for submissions: 
Sunday, December 15, 2024

The Fantastical Constellations After Magical Realism research  group (formerly known as Post-Magical Realist Worlds) of the Canadian Comparative Literature Association (CCLA) invites submissions to our sessions in the upcoming CCLA 2025 Conference taking place June 7-9, 2025 at Trent University, Peterborough/Nogojiwanong, Ontario and online.  

The conference, entitled “Comparative Literature Off-Kilter,” considers “our often off-kilter positionality in (and out of) academia,” and the precarity of the balancing act of comparison. We are asked to conceive the conference “as a playground on which marginal practices, thoughts, works and formats can form revolutionary friendships.”

We are pleased to invite proposals from UK-based postgraduate and early-career researchers to participate in a twelve-person, interdisciplinary research workshop, ‘Genres of Revolt: Cultural Afterlives of 1848’, to be held on 12-13 June 2025, at Gonville & Caius College, University of Cambridge.

In the history of revolutions, 1848 has often stood as a marker of utopian aspirations—but also a symbol of thwarted hopes. More recently, vibrant scholarly debates on the significance of this crucial year have begun to prompt a new reckoning and to revise a longstanding consensus that the revolutions simply ‘failed’, in part by looking beyond the European scene alone.

What can be discovered between spaces?

Liminal spaces, margins, and thresholds offer us exciting opportunities to explore the past and our own perceptions. This conference aims to open discussion on under-represented or under-discussed topics to further analyse what we accept as “truth”. We will focus on the northern parts of the world specifically, as the northern regions were viewed as remote and uninhabitable. Medieval and Early Modern sources suggest that the further north you go, the more monstrous the world becomes. Topics may include, but are not limited to, the following:

What does it mean to “feel formal,” and what does it mean to write and speak about different forms of feeling in the first place? Does it even make sense to speak of form in relation to feeling?

Taylor Evermore: A Swift Symposium

deadline for submissions: 
Wednesday, January 15, 2025

Proposals for conference papers are now being accepted for "Taylor Evermore: A Swift Symposium," held in person at Indiana University of Pennsylvania on April 25-26, 2025. 

Taylor Swift has been referred to as “our modern Shakespeare,” placing her in conversation with the literary canon. Swift’s entire discography connects to, alludes to, and is inspired by writers across eras. From Coleridge, Wordsworth, Blake, and Baudelaire, to Plath, Cather, Austen, and Brontë, Taylor Swift’s discography ties invisible strings across literary history. This conference aims to assert Swift’s lyrics as “difficult poems” (Grossman) to recontextualize her body of work and other intense poetics.

“It is a strangely irrational notion that there is something in the very flow of time that will inevitably cure all ills. Actually, time is neutral. It can be used either destructively or constructively. ... We must come to see that human progress never rolls in on the wheels of inevitability.”

— Martin Luther King Jr., “Letter from a Birmingham Jail."

The University of Maryland’s Graduate English Organization (GEO) invites proposals relating to the theme of “Forward Moving / Moving Forward” for our 18th annual graduate student conference, to be held in person on Friday, March 7, 2025.

An Archaeology of the Gaze
Studying the evolutions of the Iconography of Violence and Brutality

Anyone familiar with the war iconography of ancient sovereigns—from the Assyrian palaces and temples of Ramses II to Trajan’s Column—would not be surprised by these powers' claims to legitimate violence. It was entirely endorsed by the sovereign, reducing the victims of the conquering arm to mere foils for the political power asserting itself through force. In stark contrast, the photographs that journalists share from contemporary conflicts are often characterized by a specific focus on the victims, whose suffering has become central to the interpretation of violence.

‘Body horror,’ a subgenre devoted to corporeal transgressions, is undergoing a rebirth with films like Coralie Fargeat’s The Substance (2024)—a cautionary tale challenging the beauty industry and the gendered double standards of ageing. This emerging biopolitical discourse concerned with body dysmorphia, loss of control, abjection, susceptibility to illness and mutation is not limited to film. From classics like Frankenstein to Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, the Grand Guignol ghastly extends its arms to the literary sphere with emerging works like Mona Awad’s Rouge or Jeff Vandermeer’s Annihilation.

This edited volume seeks contributions from scholars whose subject matter, methods, or researcher

identities resonate with what might be considered peripheral in communication studies. We aim to

explore how diverse perspectives—often shaped by specific contexts, marginalized identities or

cases, or alternative approaches—can challenge, expand or be an alternative to traditional

paradigms, perspectives and cases in the field. The concept of the periphery is not defined here as a

rigid geographic or socio-political category, nor is it a simple counterpoint to the North or Western

paradigms. Instead, we understand the periphery as a space where various ‘ways of being’ and ‘ways
