About the Book

Abstract

The concept of multiplicity has attained prominence largely through the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze (1925–1995). According to Sage Encyclopedia of Political Theory, “A multiplicity is an entity that originates from a folding or twisting of simple elements. Like a sand dune, a multiplicity is in constant flux, though it attains some consistency for a short or long duration. A multiplicity has porous boundaries and is defined provisionally by its variations and dimensions.” Deleuze and Guattari redefine multiplicities to revisit Western political theory and its conceptions of categories such as race, class, gender, language, state, society, person, and party.

This is a Call for Papers for a special issue of the online open-access double-blind peer-reviewed journal [Inter]sections, titled Laughing in the Face of Evil: Humorous Perspectives on Perpetrators in Contemporary American Literature and Popular Culture. We invite papers that ask what humor can contribute to our understanding of perpetrators by examining a selection of works from contemporary American literature and popular culture. Does humor help demythologize certain perpetrators whose international fame turned them into quasi-mythical figures? Can the ownership of humorous content about a traumatic situation or process endured by a specific marginalized community be transferred to other communities?

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.

In the year following the poet’s bicentenary, the 49th International Byron Association Conference will delve into the poet’s enduring and multifaceted legacy from the immediate aftermath of his death to the twenty-first century. 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.
