In today’s rapidly changing global landscape, hospitality emerges as a pivotal focus in academic discourse, especially within Western geopolitical contexts. Hospitality, as a mode of conduct, garners both ardent enthusiasm and staunch opposition. As a concept, it presents both notable limitations and diverse modalities. This multidimensional notion encompasses a right, a privilege, an obligation, an act of sympathy, and an expression of charity. It shapes and is shaped by various environments, from tangible spaces and places to non-places and heterotopias (as articulated by Marc Augé). Its expansive research potential warrants a thorough, interdisciplinary exploration.

We are pleased to announce the International Conference on 21st Century English Literature, an engaging platform for scholars, researchers, and enthusiasts to explore and discuss the dynamic landscape of literature in the contemporary era. As we navigate the complexities of the 21st century, English literature continues to evolve, reflecting the multifaceted nature of our global society.
Conference Theme: "Digital Narratives: Shaping the Future of 21st Century English Literature"
Fantasy and the supernatural, broadly defined, shape many popular narratives and universes—from Lord of the Rings to Game of Thrones, from World of Warcraft to The Witcher, from classical and medieval tales of monsters and dragons to the worlds of N.K. Jemisin, Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman, Nnedi Okorafor, and Ursula K. Le Guin. As a genre, fantasy engages with questions of rhetoric, identity, and power in multiple ways, across media, subgenres, and cultural traditions; the enchantment of fantastic and supernatural narratives casts a persistent and global spell.

· Where and how do we see the gravity of popular music extended to the domain of other arts and media?
· How does popular music manifest the intertextual and intersectional realities of (post)modern life?
