In 1974, Françoise d’Eaubonne coined the term ecofeminism in Le féminisme ou la mort, foregrounding the intertwined domination of women and nature and calling for the liberation of both from systems of exploitation. Since its emergence, ecofeminism has inspired scholars and activists across disciplines and global contexts.

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

I am seeking short (3,500-word) chapters for The Works of Joan Didion and John Gregory Dunne, which will be an edited volume dedicated to Didion and Dunne’s lives in film.

The American couple were a prolific and popular screenwriting team despite being much better known for their respective novels, memoirs, and journalism. Accordingly, the volume will take into account both their produced and many unproduced screenplays—the latter of which are held in Didion and Dunne’s papers at the New York Public Library.

We are inviting contributions to our panel "Global Asias and Francosphères: Intersections, Exchanges, Tensions," proposed as a special session for the MLA convention in Los Angeles, CA (January 7-10, 2027).  We welcome papers that draw on conceptions of the global, the translocal, and/or the relational offered by the Global Asias and Francosphères frameworks to examine francophone Asian forms (textual, visual, etc.) and exchanges.

Opening Sequences: The Narrative Architecture of TV Titles

This edited volume proposes the first critical anthology devoted to television title sequences as a distinct and influential mode of visual storytelling. By treating opening titles as complex aesthetic and narrative artefacts, this volume seeks to establish a new interdisciplinary space for the study of title design, inviting scholars to rethink how beginnings shape meaning, memory, and emotional architecture in serial television.

It was a few years after the eve of Senegal’s independence that the first film made by an African was produced, as a way of offering an African account of Black struggles and living conditions. Ousmane Sembène viewed cinema as a more powerful medium for conveying African realities because it does not require literacy to grasp its message, making it a more effective tool for explaining the lived realities of Africa. A similar approach can be observed in the work of Alain Kassanda, especially in his documentary Colette and Justin, which not only revisits the historical context surrounding Patrice Lumumba and his death, but also dismantles claims often associated with Africans that are in fact inherited from colonialism, such as the non-schooling of girls.

CFP: The Body, Anatomy, and Aesthetics 

Special Issue: Art & the Public Sphere 

In an era marked by digital mediation, political polarization, and heightened ethical scrutiny, humour has become a high-stake cultural practice: jokes travel rapidly, provoke backlash, generate solidarity, and often become flashpoints for debates around offence, free speech, and accountability. In the twenty-first century, humour has emerged as one of the most powerful, contested, and ubiquitous modes of cultural expression. Circulating across literary texts, theatrical stages, digital platforms, popular media, and everyday social interactions, humour today functions not merely as entertainment but as a deeply performative, political, and ethical practice.

MLA 2027 Los Angeles

The last few years have seen growing interest in theorist Stuart Hall’s work and its relation to psychoanalysis. Jacqueline Rose devoted a lecture to the topic (later reprinted in The New York Review of Books as “The Analyst”). More attention has been given to what Hall had to say about psychoanalytic thought between the lines in his work, but also in more direct ways, such as in his 1987 paper “Psychoanalysis and Cultural Studies.” Further, psychosocial theorists like Stephen Frosh have commented on Rose’s reflections on Hall and offered their own takes on why thinking about Hall vis-à-vis psychoanalysis may be overdue and worthwhile.

The song lyric occupies little space in academia, where it is less studied, less appreciated, and perceived as less-than other kinds of writing. Despite music’s ubiquitous cultural presence, the song lyric—as creative work—suffers from what renown songwriter Jimmy Webb calls a “status problem”: songwriters do not enjoy the same standing as writers of other kinds of traditionally studied literature. The most common way that song lyrics have earned scholarly attention is by conflating the form with the poem. Goldstein’s (1969) The Poetry of Rock is one of the first books to attend to lyrics as poetry.

The conference Comics and Film: A Space Odyssey explores the intersection of cinema and comics through the multifaceted lens of spatial representation. We invite scholars, PhD students, artists, and practitioners to examine how these two visual media construct
and organize space in its broadest conceptual and material dimensions.

Disability, different ability and neurodiversity are concepts that traverse boundaries, challenging disciplines to rethink foundational assumptions about identity, culture and power. This interdisciplinary conference seeks to bring together scholars from different fields to critically examine the shifting narratives, representations and lived experiences surrounding ability and difference.

In the early stages of understanding the scope of the most horrifying criminal empire in American history, we are grappling with academia’s role in it. Several faculty members and institutions have been implicated. A few were genuinely innocent and ignored Epstein’s invitations, and some were willingly complicit in crimes against humanity. 

Epstein’s co-conspirators have fundamentally compromised the student-teacher relationship and the student-university relationship.
