*This is a hybrid interdisciplinary conference funded by the Humanities Research Centre at the University of Warwick, accompanied by potential publication opportunities.*

 

In A Dying Colonialism (1959), Frantz Fanon, one of the most significant thinkers on decolonisation, writes firmly:

‘There is not occupation of territory, on the one hand, and independence of persons on the other. It is the country as a whole, its history, its daily pulsation that are contested, disfigured, in the hope of a final destruction’ (p. 65).

Divination, Witchcraft & the Occult *SPECIAL TOPIC*

Popular Culture Association Conference

16-19 April 2025

New Orleans, Louisiana, US

 

The broad interest in divination, witchcraft, and the occult has been part of popular culture for centuries. Scholars’ discomfort with the topic is often palpable: they tend to focus on intersections that feel more legitimate, e.g. legal ramifications (laws against occult practice, witch trials etc), or archival documents, or simply sticking to fictional accounts.

Call for Abstracts: The Effects of Community on Game Play and Design

Sunday, October 20, 2024 - 1:13pm
MultiPlay Network UK
deadline for submissions: 
Sunday, December 1, 2024

Communities and the discourses they foster play a crucial role in shaping how games are both designed and experienced. Salen and Zimmerman (2004) describe how games are cultural artefacts engaged with dynamic exchanges of meaning with their surrounding cultural contexts. These open cultural contexts influence can transform both games and their environments. Consalvo (2007) expands this understanding by discussing how videogame paratexts, such as guides and fan-created content, serve as vital pedagogical tools that shape how players approach and engage with games.

Extended CFP: Serial Killers: Fact into fiction

updated: 
Sunday, October 20, 2024 - 1:12pm
University of Worcester
deadline for submissions: 
Wednesday, December 18, 2024

There is no denying that contemporary audiences have an insatiable appetite for killers: myth, legend, and reality. The soaring success, and continued demand, for fictions and nonfictions that document the dealings of serial killers and murders provide ample evidence for this. We are fascinated by their narratives and by their psychologies, and it is perhaps this need or want to understand the killer’s thinking that, in part, makes them so attractive to read and view. However, delineation between fiction and nonfiction continues to be a greyscale area. There are no longer certainties in crime fiction, nor in true crime writing, when it comes to the factual and the fictive.

Untangling Bioethical Dilemmas: Narrative Ethics and Bodily Rights

In the recent past, the study of ethics has diversified into emerging branches with interdisciplinary areas of studies. While such studies require specialization in different disciplines, they also demand application of theoretical and empirical knowledge. In a quest to broaden the understanding of ethics to its sub- field of bioethics, this book proposal seeks to collate works that center on narrative ethics within the discourse of bioethics.

Terrifier 2025

Sunday, October 20, 2024 - 1:07pm
University of Warwick
deadline for submissions: 
Monday, January 13, 2025

Terrifier 3 (in cinemas at the time of sharing this call) has defied all expectations, attracting widespread commercial and critical success, and becoming the number one film in the USA. Since the creation of Art the Clown in the short film The 9th Circle in 2008, the Terrifier franchise has gone from strength to strength, challenging some of the fundamental assumptions underpinning Hollywood filmmaking over this period. Damien Leone’s films, boasting low budgets, a grindhouse aesthetic and an impressive level of envelope-pushing gore (bolstered explicitly by practical effects), have turned Art and Sienna into modern horror icons and continued to unashamedly appeal to genre fans.
