67th Annual Conference – 14 March 2025 – Call for Papers
Conference Location:The University of the District of Columbia, Washington, DC
The literature of early medieval England, both Old English and Anglo-Latin, is often characterized either by a derivative devotion to an authoritative past, or by unorthodox innovation. While this dichotomy between tradition and innovation has much merit, many textual examples defy this categorization. In some cases, innovative texts and authors actually conform closely to their discursive models, while other texts that seem to adhere to tradition in fact create significant developments and variations. Untangling the complex relationships between texts and their sources reveals much about composition, genre, form, and language – the very foundations of textual practice.

TV Matters is a new series of short monographs (40,000 to 50,000 words) on television series,
analysing their production history, cultural context, main themes, as well as fandom and
audience reception. (All three of these aspects need to be touched upon!) The focus is on shows that both have critical acclaim (as reflected by awards, media reviews), but more importantly, are genuinely “popular”. That means they have
had a robust viewership and ideally an active fandom (watercooler discussions on- and offline,
as well as fan production such as fic, art, vids etc), and/or an unusual reception history (cases
of bans, censorship or similar).
Care can be understood as a situation-based variable with multitudes of meanings. With its initial theoretical footing in western feminist thought, care pervades defined epistemic boundaries; it is fundamentally relational, philosophical, and practical at the same time. We care for things, we care for people, we care for the tangible and intangible. It can be a necessity, a commodity, or even an imposition and yet the limited understanding of care relegates it as a form of dependency. This leads us to a series of structuring questions: Do we care about care itself? Is ethics of care different from caring itself? If yes, why are we not talking about it? More importantly, who decides what and how much to care about something?

The Kurt Vonnegut Society invites proposals for presentations at the 36th annual American Literature Association conference in Boston, MA, 21 May 2025 - 24 May 2025. You can learn more about the conference from the ALA's general call for papers: Call for Papers.
In a significant portion of feminist criticism in its populist interpretation, there is an ongoing sense of wanting to shape feminine characters from legends, folklore, and history into models for a kind of feminism and perceived empowerment more closely associated with twenty-first-century understandings of the feminine than those directly connected to social, historical, or cultural sources. This backcasting and interpretation changes these characters into ones that would better suit a modern set of beliefs through syncretism and the creation not of folkloric or cultural beliefs but of a folkloresque sense of the subject.
Apologies for crossposting.

The Beyond Trauma Conference (June 9, 10, & 11, 2025; Nice, France) aims to gather an international and interdisciplinary group of scholars to share their research (ethnographies, theories, and clinical practice) on post-traumatic states from resistance and resilience to retribution and growth. More specifically, we propose to focus less on trauma and PTSD and more on modes of healing that so often involve the arts for trauma survivors.
Russell Crowe’s talents were globally recognized in the early 2000s after he appeared in a slate of well-received films – L.A. Confidential, Gladiator, and A Beautiful Mind, among others – that earned him critical acclaim. Nevertheless, in the years following these productions, he has continued to be a part of numerous projects with international and creative appeal. Alongside his films are his associations with Roman soccer teams – established in Spera’s (2023) chapter in my recent volume on Gladiator (https://vernonpress.com/book/1213) – his social media presence, and his musical performances.
The twentieth anniversary of Ridley Scott’s Gladiator (2000) was an important moment in film history, for it not only marked a great film and work of art, but it also reminded audiences how peplum and historical epics still mattered. The edited collection “A Hero Will Endure”: Essays at the Twentieth Anniversary of ‘Gladiator’ (2023) provided insights on the film two decades after its release.
Yet now there is a sequel with a November 2024 release. This CFP therefore serves to build on the work done in the 2023 essays and provide a further avenue of exploration for connections between the two films as well as innovative readings of Gladiator 2 on its own.
Topics include, but are not limited to:
