Transmedia Explorations of Cannibalism: Dehumanizing Accusations and Empowering Rebuttals (Lexington Books: Monsters and Villains series)
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.
This is a call for chapter proposals on the late Morgan Spurlock's 30 Days reality TV series (2005-08) on the FX Channel for the FX Reader, an anthology of FX's best original TV series, which is under a two-volume book contract with Syracuse University Press. In each 30 Days episode, Spurlock, or some other person or group of people, would spend 30 days immersing themselves in a particular lifestyle or environment with which they are not familiar, which include such topics as working for minimum wage, being in prison, a Christian living as a Muslim, and others.

The scholarly research on Comfort Women studies has grown significantly over the past three decades, focusing on the experiences of women who were forced into sexual slavery by the Japanese military during World War II. Early works primarily centered on the historical and legal aspects, analyzing the testimonies of survivors and the geopolitical ramifications of Japan's wartime actions. Studies such as Yoshimi Yoshiaki's Comfort Women (1995) and the testimonies collected by organizations like the Korean Council for the Women Drafted for Military Sexual Slavery highlighted the widespread nature of the system and the ongoing struggles for justice.

The Sixteenth IASEMS Conference
Tuscia University (Viterbo), 29-30 September 2025 Convenors: Alba Graziano and the IASEMS Executive Board
The Fifteenth IASEMS Conference
University of Salento (Lecce), 16-17 May 2025
Convenors: Maria Luisa De Rinaldis, Maria Renata Dolce and the IASEMS Executive Board
The Fifteenth IASEMS Conference in Lecce, University of Salento, 16-17 May 2025, will investigate the imaginary of waters in Shakespeare and early modern texts, aiming at the exploration of notions of fluidity and crossing. The conference wishes to investigate what meanings, both personal and collective, circulated around ‘water’ in early modern culture, but also to discuss the water-related relevance and value of the ideas of shapelessness and transformation, mutability and sea change as opposed to fixity, solidity, and normativity.
The issue’s topic revolves around Education and will challenge our anthropogenic philosophies.
It will be an exploration into what education actually means and what alternative philosophies could replace the current, education is for getting a good job and becoming a productive worker, expanding the economy, to something more holistic, more socially beneficial and more forward thinking.
All of this can be answered with fictional stories, philosophical papers, poems or personal essays.
The Anthropocene has a deficit of philosophy that looks at the world from a different point of view, instead of the one prescribed, centralised, accepted narrative.

Are Greek myths, as Charlotte Higgins argued for The Guardian in 2021, ‘relevant for all time’? This question relates to the widespread influence of ancient Greek myth in contemporary culture, especially in areas such as literature. The classical stories of Homer and Sophocles, amongst others, are frequently being revised to offer a modern entry point to ancient myth. In recent years, publishing has seen a sharp rise in re-imaginings of Greek myth, and works by Pat Barker, Margaret Atwood, Madeline Miller, Natalie Haynes, Jennifer Saint, Bea Fitzgerald, and Jessie Burton, have all appeared on bestseller lists.
