Focusing on the interplay between “Desire and Collectivity,” the third symposium of The Association of Postcolonial Thought gestures to the many political, personal, and affective drives that structure our orientation to the past and to the possibilities of the present. It likewise speculates about the collectivities such desires engender and the futures they call into being. While the 2022 APT rubric, “Anticolonialism as Theory,” reconsidered the past through the foundations of postcolonial thought, and the 2023 APT topic, “Crisis,” contemplated the calamities of our present, the 2024 theme asks us to envision the possibilities of what could be.

Salman Rushdie characterized the serial television show “as the novelistic medium of the 21st century,” signifying its emerging importance and elevating its status to a realm traditionally occupied by novels. This shift, propelled by technological advancements and new patterns in media consumption like streaming and binge-watching, highlights televisions’ artistic and cultural importance. Rushdie’s view acknowledges television series as valuable cultural artifacts of considerable artistic depth and cultural weight.

I am in the process of reviewing essays for an edited volume, Mythological Equines in Literature, but a few contributors were unable to continue with the collection. Thus, I am looking for 2-3 more essays to round out the collection. Harry Potter, Legend, and Narnia are well covered. Please send an inquiry about the potential topic to ensure that it has not already been covered.

Essays should be roughly 5,000-7,000 words, Chicago-style with endnotes and a bibliography page.

Complete chapters will be due in August 2024.

Please send ideas, abstracts, and short biographical notes to Rachel L. Carazo at rachel.carazo@snhu.edu
