Call for Papers for Proposed Volume: A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Its Afterlives
Co-editors: W. Reginald Rampone, Jr., South Carolina State University (wrampone [at] scsu.edu)

Samuel Beckett’s drama may not be yet mapped as a site of carnival; nevertheless, the Beckettian dramatic ecosystem is open to a sense of the carnivalesque. In Europe and the northern Americas, the carnival tends to be understood as a secularised Christian tradition, the religious roots of which are enshrined in the epistemology of the word. Originating from the Latin carnem levāre – the removal of the flesh (OED) – the carnival used to be a festive threshold leading into the frugality and modesty of Lent. Yet, such grassroots street performances have thrived beyond this limited cultural, historical and geographical frame.

Infrastructures, both visible and invisible, are all around us and they permeate our lives in various ways. Larkin defines infrastructures as “built networks that facilitate the flow of goods, people, or ideas and allow for their exchange over space” (327). Though most commonly associated with its physical manifestations, the term infrastructurealso encompasses intangible elements that play a crucial role in society. Thus, infrastructures are not merely "limited to pipes, roads, and wires" but should, instead, be understood as “interdependent networks of materials, people, and nature that enable the functioning of modern life” (Lockrem 529).

Chapters are needed for an edited collection entitled Monsters with Minds of Their Own in Western and Global Literatures and Media. This collection seeks to contribute to a series on the non-human in literature and culture. It aims at examining (the intersections between) the notions of monstrosity and evil in the literary and artistic depictions of non-human and hybrid (or post-human) intelligence in different cultural and historical contexts. It focuses on the representation of monsters and creatures that have cognitive abilities as well as on the demonizing and vilification of artificially or magically enhanced human intelligence.

SPECIAL ISSUE – Art and Imagination: Philosophical Issues
Though some have dismissed the imagination as “the junkyard of the mind,” just about all artists will vouch for the fact that the imagination is not just essential but also central to the arts. This is true not only of the creation or production of artworks, it is the case also when it comes to the reception or experience of art.
Cinematic Crossroads and Digital Frontiers
At a time when over two-thirds of the global population has access to the internet, the paradigms of media dissemination have
undergone a profound transformation. The dynamics between producers and content consumers have been redefined, thanks to
the proliferation of accessible technologies. This democratisation of media has empowered both amateur and professional creators to
express their artistic visions through the cinematic medium.

WHAT IS RESEARCH? '

In her 2017 debut novel Conversations with Friends, Sally Rooney writes, “You can love more than one person” (Rooney 141). A statement so obvious, it’s not even worth stating. However, a simple edit—you can be in love with more than one person—suddenly becomes a much more controversial statement.
The current surge of graphic novels in French, from Marjane Satrapi's oft-celebrated Persepolis to Jessica Oublié's lesser-known-yet-prize-winning Péyi An Nou, signifies a shift in priorities for Francophone storytellers. Graphic novels create meaning through the interplay of text and image; they privilege non-linear storytelling and thinking; and they prioritize accessibility over erudition. As a marginalized genre, graphic novels are a welcome home for those writing and illustrating from the margins of society. In a graphic novel, what we see is never the full story; instead, we are constantly challenged into new modes of "seeing" and "reading" that question assumptions about the consumption of literature and art.
Deceptive and unethical rhetorical strategies are increasingly prevalent in politics, media, digital spaces, and everyday conversations. Whether the result of a changing discursive landscape (McIntyre, 2018; Nichols, 2017), our enmeshment in digital environments (Bolter, 2019; Pigg, 2020; Gurri, 2018), or a reflection of long-standing rhetorical trends (Fuller, 2018; Roberts-Miller, 2019) that have simply accelerated in the digital age, the question of how to address these disingenuous rhetorics is a challenge for both scholars of rhetorical theory and researchers from across the disciplines.
This conference, marking the 50th anniversary of the formation of the African Literature Association (ALA), explores the ways in which African writers reconceive movement and place. Often, narratives about Africans on the move, particularly migrant Africans, reflect a tension between motion and stasis. Such tensions highlight the often-unsettling narrative transitions that characterize recent poetry, fiction, drama, and non-fiction from Africa and the diaspora. While narratives like NoViolet Bulawayo’s We Need New Names depict the exigencies of forced removal, others, like Fatou Diome’s Belly of the Atlantic describe identities and situations in flux.
Indiana English encourages submissions on the role of English studies in the Midwest but will consider submissions on any topic related to English literature and criticism, linguistics, or pedagogy. For this volume, we are particularly interested in exploring writings on national politics, the Midwest's impact on Presidential elections, works studying candidates who came from the Midwest, and the rich literary history that comes with such considerations (speeches, policies, educational content). We also publish original creative work (fiction, poetry, creative or literary nonfiction, and photography).
Although writers like Sappho and Shakespeare died hundreds of years ago, the works they left behind are still vibrantly alive. When we read them, we recognize something fundamental about ourselves. In this roundtable, literature scholars, creative essayists, and poets reflect on deeply personal encounters with “old” books, texts, and images from the pre-Industrial past. Covering a range of topics—Shakespeare and divorce, Dante and gender, Hippocrates and the modern health-care system, St. Agatha and embodiment, studying the Middle Ages while Black—these essays show how conversations with the past continues to animate our twenty-first century lives.
We are especially interested in essays that engage the 17th and 18th centuries.
