If Horatio’s famous quote “Ut pictura poiesis” seems incontrovertible when we look at William Blake’s illuminated books, “Ut musica poiesis” could be the next unquestionable truth when one comes across the thousands of musical renderings inspired by Blake’s verses.

Virginia Woolf famously announced her cosmopolitan aspirations as a rejection of exclusionary patriarchal patriotism by declaring in Three Guineas (1938), “as a woman, I have no country. As a woman I want no country. As a woman my country is the whole world” (TG 229). In this statement Woolf echoed the classical etymology of cosmopolitanism coined by the Cynic Diogenes, according to whom a cosmopolitan is defined as “a citizen of the world” (Martha Nussbaum, Cosmopolitan Tradition 1–2). But how does the classical philosophical notion of cosmopolitanism evolve in late-Victorian and modernist literature in the context of colonialism, capitalism, industrialism, and ever-increasing transnational mobility during the period?

In her seminal essay on body genres, Linda Williams characterizes embodied responses to film genres, citing shudders and screams as the products of horror and tears as the product of melodrama. Yet a great deal of horror scholarship has investigated the intimate allegorical relations between horror’s monsters and marginalized subject positions, as in canonical works such as Monsters in the Closet (Harry M. Benshoff) and Horror Noire (Robin R. Means Coleman). Studies have further explored how horror media function cathartically as relatively safe encounters with terror for those experiencing cultural prejudice, as seen in Isabel Cristina Pinedo’s Recreational Terror and Heather Petrocelli’s Queer for Fear.

How does medieval art define queerness and transness, and how do gendered performances of bodies and images shape one another? How do medieval sexualities and genders, fluid and porous, explicate and trouble modern ones? We invite papers that explore queer methodologies and medieval art, including visual cultures of animals, the humoral body, and the non-human. After the success of 2024’s Queer(ing) Medieval Art panels, this new panel seeks to expand our scope: we especially encourage papers examining secular, Jewish, or Islamic perspectives, architecture, non-elite archives, and/or queer intersections with race, religion, and ethnicity as visual/material expressions.

Call for papers “Nationalisms: Languages and Identities”
This issue, edited by Irene Arbusti and Armando Francesconi, aims at exploring critical perspectives on the relationship between identities, nationalisms and territories, including theories, methodologies, practices and tools for understanding this complex interaction. Articles, both theoretical and empirical, may analyse both European and non-European contexts and should adhere to the following themes:
— languages, aesthetics and modes of expression of nationalisms;
— methods of analysis of contemporary nationalism;
— social movements and relations with local identities;
— the role of space, place and belonging in the formation of identities.

The covid-19 pandemic not only sparked conversations on the gendered division of household chores and care but also brought to light the paradox of the “essential-worker.” Despite being deemed “essential” to society, these workers-often women, immigrants, and people of color were paid low wages and treated as expendable. However, amidst these challenges, the pandemic also catalyzed the expansion of alternative labor forms and care networks, beyond capitalist economies and social relations.

Academia on Screen: The World of Higher Education in Film and TV Series Across Cultures (March 20 & 21, 2025)

This conference aims to explore the multifaceted portrayals of academia and academics in films and TV series, in both fictional and documentary modes, across diverse cultural contexts. These multimodal media not only capture societal perspectives and moods but also play a pivotal role in shaping public perceptions. They can serve as catalysts for reflection on academic practice and societal discourse, fostering a deeper understanding of cultural imprints and trends, highlighting differences and similarities across cultures, raising critical awareness, challenging stereotypes, and promoting inclusivity.

It has been two years since AI was introduced into daily life, and it has been applied in academia, pedagogy, classrooms, and beyond. As we discover both the potential benefits and harms of AI, we are also recovering from the initial panic, uncertainty, or excitement. We are beginning to recognize that it will lead to an "inevitable" integrated fusion of human and machine intelligence (Kurzweil), and we are entering a phase of adaptation. We have seen a range of AI use guides, policies, and reflections. However, compared to the initial reaction, we cannot ignore where we will or want to go with AI in the composition classroom. As AI continues to evolve, how do we recreate our classrooms in light of this new technology?

In the present era marked by a pressing need for sustainable coexistence with the natural world, the centrality of human beings has taken a back seat to make way for integral ontological inquiries into nature, its components and inhabitants and the manifold relationship between them. The “self-organizing powers of non-human processes” have been emphasized in academia and the dissonant relations between those processes and cultural practices, rethinking sources of ethics have been explored.
