Friday, January 31, 2025

Rupkatha (ISSN 0975-2935 | www.rupkatha.com | Indexed by Web of Science) is an International Open Access Journal on Interdisciplinary Studies in Humanities, publishing criticism of emerging literature, innovation and art, and intersections across the disciplines of humanities, social sciences, and science. The fundamental idea of interdisciplinarity derives from an evolutionary necessity, namely, the need to confront and interpret complex systems. An entity that is studied can no longer be analyzed in terms of its singular objectivity but as a contending hierarchy of discourses emerging from multiple or variable branches of knowledge.

FORUM Postgraduate Journal
deadline for submissions: 
Sunday, April 6, 2025

Call for Papers (Issue 36): Family

The family as an ostensibly biological group has been naturalised as the fundamental unit of collective organisation. Yet, as feminist and queer theorists have endeavoured to show, the family is neither an innocent nor an immutable category. Protecting certain familial structures has long provided justification for the ongoing legal regulation of sex, marriage, and reproduction, making the family a contentious site for feminist, queer, and racially-marked subjects.

The Conference aims to investigate Byron’s perspectives on various forms of futurity– historical, political, personal, and spiritual, among others – as well as the place he and his works have held in culture and literature since 1824, both in Britain and overseas.

This panel will examine the ongoing catastrophe and accelerating devolution of medicine and its attendant practices in contemporary America. How late-stage America undermines health humanities keywords such as empathy, care, healing and the like are appreciated. What ways of "doing otherwise" are becoming evident in terms of medicine and health systems? What does this moment reveal in larger discussions of medicine, national affiliation, individual survival, and neoliberal, anti-democratic empire?

This roundtable responds to and anticipates the tactics of banning, censure, prohibition, and redaction deployed by conservative institutions of late. From the erasure of gender neutral pronouns by Argentine fascists to the elimination of "Latinx" by state officials in Arkansas, from the outlaw of DEI offices by the incoming Trump regime to Rodrigo Duterte’s genocidal “war on drugs” in the Philippines, it is clear that the right-wing believes deleting a signifier also deletes its referent.

The Affordances of Frustrating Narratives (proposed panel for MLA 2026 in Toronto)

To what ends do narratives fail? If narrative is our way of making sense of the world (Herman 2004), why frustrate sense-making? Well-known in experimental fiction and film (from Sterne, Stein and Rankine to Caché and The Stanley Parable), frustrated narratives also occur, intriguingly, in texts with more practical, didactic or ideological aims: documentaries, journalism, political discourse, advertising, etc. And despite our rich conceptual vocabulary of frustrating narratives—“weak narrativitiy” (McHale 2001), plot “perversion” (Roof 1996), “antinarrative” (Rose 2012), “unnarratability” (Abbott 2003; Warhol 2005)—much remains to be explored about the motivations, readerly dynamics and impacts of narrative frustration.
