Following on from the success of WOKE SHAKESPEARE: Rethinking Shakespeare for a New Era ...

This new edited volume aims to explore some of the most recent conversations about teaching and performing Shakespeare in the age of woke cultural politics, culture wars, and social justice debates.

In the context of media hostility and panic, what are the challenges faced by new scholars, audiences and learners?

How should Shakespeare be positioned in the twenty-first century cultural landscape?

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.

Mapping Body Space Continuum in Urbanscapes

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.

[EXTENDED DEADLINE] Humorous Perspectives on Perpetrators--special issue

Thursday, February 20, 2025

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?

A Hundred Years of Flannery O’Connor: Re-Visiting Her Legacy

Tuesday, January 21, 2025 - 5:08am
Universidad Complutense de Madrid
deadline for submissions: 
Friday, February 28, 2025

The year 2025 will mark the centennial of one of the most powerful voices in twentieth-century American Literature. Author of a reduced fictional production (two novels and three collections of short stories), Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964) remains among the most widely praised authors of the United States, to the extent that, shortly after her premature death, claims by, among others, Brainard Cheney, Robert Giroux, and Caroline Gordon were made about the country having lost their next Nobel Laureate for Literature. Alternative history aside, what is true is that the last century of American literature would have lost an enormous amount of its meaning without the existence of Flannery O’Connor’s writing.

Friday, January 31, 2025

Rupkatha (ISSN 0975-2935 | www.rupkatha.com | Indexed by Web of Science) is an International Open Access Journal on Interdisciplinary Studies in Humanities, publishing criticism of emerging literature, innovation and art, and intersections across the disciplines of humanities, social sciences, and science. The fundamental idea of interdisciplinarity derives from an evolutionary necessity, namely, the need to confront and interpret complex systems. An entity that is studied can no longer be analyzed in terms of its singular objectivity but as a contending hierarchy of discourses emerging from multiple or variable branches of knowledge.

FORUM Postgraduate Journal
deadline for submissions: 
Sunday, April 6, 2025

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.
