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:
This collection seeks essays on paleontologists in film, literature, and contemporary media. The Jurassic Park franchise solidified the presence of paleontology in the pop cultural imagination, but there have been other media and portrayals that have captured the public's imagination. Topics can include, but are not limited to:
-Studies of specific films
-Studies of specific novels
-Studies of fictional and/or real-life paleontologists in modern media
Chapters will be due in September 2025. Chapters should be approximately 5,000 to 7,000 words, with Chicago-style endnotes and a bibliography page.
This collection seeks essays on dinosaurs in film, literature, and the arts. The Jurassic Park franchise solidified the presence of dinosaurs in the pop cultural imagination, but there have been other media and dinosaur portrayals that have captured the public's imagination. Topics can include, but are not limited to:
-Studies of specific films
-Studies of specific novels
-Studies of special effects renderings of dinosaurs
-Artwork with dinosaurs
Chapters will be due in September 2025. Chapters should be approximately 5,000 to 7,000 words, with Chicago-style endnotes and a bibliography page.

Rationale
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).

Guru Dutt’s films are integral to the golden age of Hindi cinema as they were both critical and commercial successes. In a short career spanning twenty years, Dutt has served as an actor, a director, and a producer. His versatility is testament to a deep understanding of every aspect of filmmaking. Critics contend that contradictory ideas coalesced in his movies. A prominent theme of nationalism is at the heart of Dutt’s oeuvre. While he set out to refashion Indian national identity, Dutt envisioned a utopia for the new nation. Ideologically, Dutt was influenced by Nehruvian socialism, which finds its expression in his selection of subjects and themes. His movies also critiqued the new nation’s failure to afford equal opportunities to every citizen.

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.

All significant concepts of the modern theory of the state are secularized theological concepts not only because of their historical development … but also because of their systematic structure, the recognition of which is necessary for sociological consideration of these concepts.

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.
