The 122nd annual conference of the Pacific Ancient and Modern Language Association (PAMLA 2025) will be held at InterContinental San Francisco in San Francisco, California. The conference will begin on Thursday, November 20, and continue through November 23, 2025.
Gothic writers embrace the genre for its inclusive and representational nature. The genre is, in effect, a palimpsest as it prominently features both the past and memory. The creators in the genre continue to create plots that center on women, queer, transgender, and racialized characters and create stories that address societal inequalities. The environment (the Ecogothic) also continues to be a prominent character in the genre.
This special issue of Horror Studies aims to address female empowerment (cis- and transgender women) in literary and cinematic horror from 2010 to the present. The issue will showcase horror media (literature, films, television, and gaming) created by women. An intersectional approach should be applied to analyses, stressing categories of race, gender, sexuality, class and/or age in submissions. While we are interested in submissions focused on various forms of horror media, we are eager to receive submissions that foreground literary texts.

This is a limited and urgent call for chapters in the Art Volume (part of the Routledge series Oceans, Seas, and Shorelines: Cultural, Environmental, and Natural Histories). Since some of the previous contributors were unable to complete their manuscripts, I am reaching out to those of you who have a fitting concept for a chapter within the already themed structure of the book and are able to complete the chapter by June 30. The volume is currently under contract with Routledge.
In the words of the series editors:
Space is not defined objectively, but in relation to bodies, as it is a manifestation of their needs, intentions, and desires. It is not a container in which objects exist but is intertwined with the body’s orientation in the world and its movements within the space. Human body, therefore, is at the centre of all spaces, which are more than a geometrical concept in abstraction. Individual bodies apprehend and appropriate space differently and give meaning to embedded systems and institutions through established and evolving associations. Any assumption of personalised space, whether private or public, is embedded with historical, cultural, and social meanings which help curate embodied experiences.
Social justice is the virtue which guides us in creating those organized human interactions we call institutions. In turn, social institutions, when justly organized, provide us with access to what is good for the person, both individually and in our associations with others. Social justice also imposes on each of us a personal responsibility to work with others to design and continually perfect our institutions as tools for personal and social development.

The second Issue of Volume 7 of LLIDS examines how structures of power constitute and shape urban spaces. It proposes to explore their influence in determining social values wherein varied social groups—marked by religion, class, race, gender, etc.—negotiate the power dynamics that constitute life in urban spaces. The modern, bustling city carries within itself a continuous sense of becoming. The urban dwellers, inhabiting segregated parts of the city, shape the lived experience of these spaces through their socio-cultural interactions and relationships.
For the first time in history, more than half of the world’s population now lives in urban areas in twenty-first century. Urbanization is understood as the mass movement of human population from rural to urban areas. The trend of urbanization is increasing at an unprecedented pace, especially in developing countries of the world. Now considered as an irreversible phenomenon, the imperative of urbanization necessitates a rethinking of how we imagine cities and rural areas of tomorrow to provide a meaningful and sustainable lifeworld. The challenges that come with such a dramatic shift are multifold and complex. It involves envisioning a way of life that is dignified, a society that is sustainable and equitable.

Many teachers of 21st century anglophone literature would agree that the field’s strength lies in how it has opened literary study to new authors, genres, mediums, and methods. But the field lacks unifying vocabularies, canons, and pedagogies. Among teachers themselves, there is bafflingly little deliberation about the goals of our teaching and what we expect our students to learn from the study of the literature of the present. So, what exactly is the job of teaching 21st century literature?
For at least the last fifty years, critics, commentators, and celebrity cognoscenti have repeatedly resounded the death knell of camp. First, facing the political crucibles of the queer civil rights and feminist protests of the 1960s and 1970s, gay men, lesbians, and trans folks were supposed to abandon the shameful practice and kill their darlings. Yet, twenty years later, they found camp coming gloriously back into vogue, striking a pose on the ironic drag stages of the queer 1990s. Now, come forward another twenty years, when self-conscious postmodern parody and biting double entendre are the fuel that makes meme culture go, and we are obliged to wonder at camp’s ubiquity and to question its possible utility.
Whether it is made an explicit mechanic via countdown clocks and quick-time events, or is simply a natural part of the narrative, games are always already inherently concerned with the passage of time. While it is easy to think of mechanics as being about player control, the relationship of input to output, and how a game’s particular physics engine is encoded, every game has a unique relationship with temporality that players must learn to navigate in order to play successfully, whether that is perfecting the timing of their jumps in a platformer or remembering to log in to complete daily tasks in an MMO.

REPUTATION: Influence, Power, and Capital
FSNNA Annual Conference 2025
Drawing on the theme “Underground,” this proposed panel considers the hidden, unearthed role of nineteenth-century forms of education. We think of education broadly here, including textbooks, expositions, World’s Fairs, newspapers, public history, and other print and material culture with didactic purpose. The panel will consider how these forms of education challenge or uphold prevailing nineteenth-century historiographies, as well as how they engage with counternarratives, reveal buried histories, reshape public memory, or critically construct belonging.
