Enhanced Human Bodies in Literature and Cinema

We live in an age of optimization. Norms of beauty and performance are relentlessly getting harder to achieve without modifying the psychophysiology of human beings. Humans are faced with choices and demands regarding increasing and reducing the size, mass, and weight of different body parts and the modification of the way they function. The normal no longer means the common, it means the optimal. From special diets and extreme workouts to silicon injections and from plastic surgery to brain chips, the human body is transforming into a workshop for different arts and technologies. The cosmetic surgery market, for example, is worth more than 57 billion dollars and is expected to continue to grow very fast.

Hi folks,

I hope everyone is happy and well.

 

I would like to announce that I am putting together a new edited collection on horror film promotion in the US. At present, I am sketching out a due date for chapter submissions of January 2027, but obviously this can only really be provisional at this point. For the record, once a line-up is in place, I will be approaching Anthem Press about including the book in its "Series on Exploitation and Industry in World Cinema", of which I am a board member.

Call for Presentations – The Solarpunk Conference 2025: Collective Care, Collective Power

Solarpunk is a growing subculture, existing across various veins of human endeavors, such as fiction, media, politics, technology, agriculture and urban planning and development. Solarpunk imagines an accessible, equitable world either without systemic barriers, or with those barriers in the process of disassembly, while championing intersectional social and climate justice. Drawing on ideas from permaculture, post- and trans-humanism, social ecology, and anarcho-socialism, while reacting against late stage capitalism, Solarpunk declares that our world is worth saving, and that saving it is possible.

All bodies are, in some sense; engines driven by the health or disease of their owners, jackets of flesh that are the physical sum of their wearers. But to become your disease? To become the consumption itself? (Kathe Koja, The Cipher)

That's how the madness of the world tries to colonize you: from the outside in, forcing you to live inits reality. (Jeff VanderMeer, Annihilation)

Japanese Video Games and Critiques of the Western Aesthetic Tradition

Nintendo was founded just three years after the beginning of the Meiji era in 1889; 100 years later, the company dominated the global game market, having rescued the U.S. video game market in the wake of the 1983 crash. Considering Japanese cultural identity as isolated from a global context misunderstands a long history of active construction of that identity as global and globalizing. Yet, Video Game Studies has often come from a decidedly Euro-centric perspective that regularly frames Japan as an isolated monoculture rather than acknowledging the global existence of Japan and its cultural products.
