CFP: Small Forms in Nineteenth-Century America

This edited collection expands critical approaches to scale in nineteenth-century America by shifting focus from immensity (Baker 2006; Roberts 2014) to “small forms,” or forms disposed toward brevity or reduction. Building on scholarship that examines the operation of individual forms such as epigraphs (Stokes 2021), extracts (Wisecup 2021), footnotes (Cohen 2022), recipes (Tompkins 2013), and the serial sketch (Spires 2021), this collection aims to synthesize analysis of diverse small forms evident in nineteenth-century American literature and culture.

The history of "rights" as a concept is mired in complications. Regarded as the moral or legal recognition of interests or entitlements of individuals and communities, rights have been present in history in a variety of ways - both justiciable and not. This history of rights, and the securing of rights, is long and arduous, and has taken various forms along the way - with sudden victories and abrupt revocations all the same - resulting in the present that we find ourselves in now.

Postcolonial Interventions (ISSN 2455-6564) Call for Papers Vol. X, Issue 2 (June 2025)   

Postcolonial Interventions invites scholarly articles for an OPEN ISSUE to be published in June 2025. As this call is being circulated, older territorial imperial aggression is threatening to bare its fangs across the world, right-wing forces of xenophobia, discrimination and intolerance continue to gather momentum across the world, inequality and ecological crisis continue to escalate and new forms of precarity are being constantly negotiated. The next issue of Postcolonial Interventions seeks to explore such issues and more based on postcolonial experiences across the world.

Submission Guidelines:

Editor-in-Chief: Martin Ovens

This international, peer-reviewed journal seeks to encourage and promote research in non-western and cross-cultural philosophy. This may include scholarship typically identified, defined or characterised as comparative philosophy, intercultural philosophy or global philosophy. In addition, the journal offers opportunities to publish research that explores or analyses relations between philosophy, culture and dialogue. In this way Culture and Dialogue provides a forum for scholars in many subfields of philosophical studies.

The Incredible Nineteenth Century: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Fairy Tale (I19) seeks to publish the best scholarship on the century that was, in many ways, the time period in which the modern genres of science fiction and fantasy began, and in which the academic study of fairy tale and folklore has its roots.
