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.

2025 ACIS-BCPS CONFERENCE
FEBRUARY 23-26, 2025 | DESOTO SAVANNAH, SAVANNAH, GA
The Program Committee for the American Conference for Irish Studies (ACIS) and the British Commonwealth and Postcolonial Studies Conference (BCPS) cordially invites the electronic submission of proposals for papers, panels, and other relevant presentations.
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.

As today we see Western countries enacting various immigration laws and borders are being mined to prevent “intruders” from accessing those countries. Faced with (in)security in sub-Saharan Africa the African woman has become that monster of abjection residing in that marginal geography, dwelling in the gates of difference in unfamiliar spaces. The African woman faced with (im)migration goes through a strong feeling of revulsion, fear, or aversion, she is treated as something that is a threat to one's boundaries and undermines one's sense of identity and security, exemplifying Kristeva’s idea of abjection.

In 21st-century Ireland, women have experienced several (r)evolutions in their political rights that have, in turn, shaped the imagination of the nation. Irish abortion law faced a major public challenge with the 2012 death of Savita Halappanavar after she was denied an abortion while suffering a septic miscarriage; in 2018, lawmakers passed a law that allows abortion up to week 12 of pregnancy, a small victory in a nation where abortion under any circumstances beyond saving the life of the mother was forbidden.
