Theme and Scope:

CFP: Adaptations and Retellings 2025

https://pcaaca.org/ 

CONFERENCE IN NEW ORLEANS, LA - April 16-19, 2025

Adaptations and retellings, much like nostalgia, are deeply tied to the past. They confront the challenges of integrating past elements into the present and often engage with each other in this process. 

Call for Expressions of Interest.

In July of 2026 Punch magazine will be 185 years old!

The Punch’s Pocket Book Archive team are editing a special commemorative issue of Victorian Periodicals Review to celebrate Punch, both the magazine and the evolution of a clear brand identity that witnessed many imitations and adaptations across the world.

We would like to invite expressions of interest from scholars who are working on Punch, developing and enriching the field, to consider topics such as: global imitators of the magazine; the merchandise; the almanacks; the pocket-books; the reprinted bound volumes and thematic collections; the online digital resources and more.

Sponsored by the Center for Research & Study at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, this graduate student conference is organized by the joint effort of students within the Martin Scorsese Department of Cinema Studies, Department of Performance Studies, and Department of Art & Public Policy. Together, we seek to consider where camps and fires may operate as systems, symbols, and metaphors to allow ways of approaching history and nations as kempt and unkempt by time and space.

The Black Performing Arts Area provides a scholarly forum to share and disseminate research pertaining to the Black performing arts across expressive forms.  Broadly defined, the area focuses on all forms of performing and visual arts, including jazz, blues, gospel, hip-hop, rhythm and blues, Caribbean music, dance, poetry, drawing, painting, sculpture, ceramics, photography, and acting.  In all these contexts we are interested in investigating the merger of aesthetic technique and embodiment across Black diasporic expressivity.

Call for Papers: Film International: Journal of World Cinema

Aims & Scope

Film International is devoted to the study of world cinemas, focusing on films within international and transnational contexts. The Journal offers insights into the broader scope of cinema practices across the globe, both feature length and otherwise, including by way of cultural comparison. It not only encourages attention to underrepresented regions such as the Global South, small-nation and minor cinemas, but also to how aesthetic choices have been made in these contexts.

Dear Colleagues,

We are excited to announce the Call for Papers for Volume 23 of Young Scholars in Writing: Undergraduate Research in Writing and Rhetoric, an international peer-reviewed journal. We invite undergraduates from all majors and academic years to submit research and theoretical articles on topics related to rhetoric, writing, discourse, and language.

This year, we are also accepting multilingual submissions that explore Spanish-English bilingualism, translation studies, and writing across languages. Submissions fall into three categories:

How old are you? How do you feel about getting older? And how will you still be able to carry out your responsibilities as you age? Most people had reservations asking these questions of anyone but their closest friends and family members until the recent Presidential election season in the United States threw them into sharp relief.
