‘Everything must ring like elizabethan english and like those gentlemen I always seem to be
mentioning ‘the Poets’. There is a light upon them especially upon the elizabethans and our
‘special’ set – Keats, W.W. Coleridge Shelley De Quincey and Co. […] Those are the people
with whom I want to live – those are the men I feel are our brothers’. (Letter to John
Middleton Murry, 4–5 March 1918)

For a long time, historians showed limited interest in studying the history of the extreme right after 1945. In recent years, however, there has been a significant upsurge in the research on this topic. The rise of extreme-right movements and political parties has spurred numerous research projects, especially in Germany. These projects explore not only the aftermath of National Socialism, but also the emergence of a so-called New Right within the framework of democratic societies. Similar research initiatives have also gained momentum in countries such as France, Italy, Austria, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, reflecting the growing influence of the extreme right across Europe.

Digital platforms have never been a gender-neutral space, not only in the sense that they bring different experiences to people of different gender identities, but also because it has been structured in gendered ways—no matter it’s the gender imbalance existing in technology design teams, the gender-specific target audience segmentation, or third-parties’ involvement in reinforcing gender norms. Its gendered structures have also been further complicated by users’ actions.  Instead of accepting gendered platforms as a default design, we encourage presentations to think of platforms as a cultural form that embodies larger social and political structures.

LITERATURE, MEDIA AND CULTURE HERE AND NOW

New Horizons in English Studies (indexed in MLA International Bibliography and ERIH+) invites submissions to the 10/2025 issue, welcoming previously unpublished research papers and reviews in the broadly understood field of literary, media and cultural studies (L, M & C). The scope of subjects includes but is not limited to the following:

We are seeking participants for a roundtable for the American Literature Association’s 2025 Conference in Boston, Massachusetts, May 21-24, 2025. This roundtable aims to further our understanding of the Federal Writers’ Project’s (FWP) literary legacy. 

Hiding Behind Trees: Anthropomorphism in Children’s Literature and Culture

Guaranteed Session at MLA 2026 (Toronto, Jan. 8-11), sponsored by the Children's Literature Association

This panel seeks papers that consider the role of anthropomorphism in children’s literature and culture.

Humans have long believed we are distinct from other animals in our rationality, self-consciousness, and use of language. Why, then, do writers, artists, and even scientists so often use anthropomorphism to interpret the behaviors of animals, plants, and even nonliving things such as trains, teapots, and toys? What are the repercussions of this tendency to understand the world in terms of human social and cultural identities?

The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is the most financially successful franchise in film history. Between 2008 and 2019 not only did it become a commercial behemoth, redefining the landscape of blockbuster cinema, but also a cultural phenomenon, delighting fans all around the globe. Yet post-Avengers: Endgame (2019) and the conclusion of “The Infinity Saga,” the MCU has struggled to maintain the same level of success and no longer resonates with audiences the way it once did. The MCU, and the wider superhero genre, has faced mounting criticism from fans, critics and even notable industry professionals on a wide range of issues.

The American Humor Studies Association (AHSA) plans to offer three panels.

One panel, “New Directions,” will provide an opportunity for innovative thinking on new and old topics.

This first panel will give priority to early career scholars—untenured faculty, newly-minted PhDs, and graduate students writing dissertations.

The second panel will be open-ended, but we will be especially interested in papers focusing on comic artifacts in digital formats, e. g. texts and images produced by generative AI, memes, viral videos, comment threads in social media platforms or websites.
