In July 2023, a tech startup called “Simulation Inc” released an AI technology that the company claims will make it possible to generate entire t.v. episodes—including dialogue, voice acting, animation, and editing—from nothing more than a two-sentence prompt. Somewhat oddly—and provoking suspicion that the project might be a hoax or internet prank—Simulation Inc’s website lists a fake address under their contact info: 500 Baudrillard Drive, San Francisco, CA.
Consent-Based Theatre Pedagogy: Anti-Oppressive Practices for Youth Performance
Consent-based performance practices have been widely discussed in recent years–specifically those practices related to the staging of intimacy in live performance and in film. While scholarship dedicated to the practices, theories, and politics of consent in theatrical and cinematic labor continues to accumulate, the use of consent-based practices in theatrical settings to impact the artistic and social-emotional learning of youth remains largely underexplored.

Dr. Nick Walker (2021) activates “neuroqueering” in her book Neuroqueer Heresies as “intentional noncompliance with the demands of normative performance” (p. 3). Inherently, the verb of neuroqueer resists the classification of neurotypical and heteronormative classification within our binary and colonized society. Queer, decolonization and story as verbs demand active participation in declassifying Euro-American definitions of what is normal and expected of us, our fields and our participation and compliance with(in) them. Hence, it is urgent that we not only discuss, but make intentional action of declassifying the borders and boundaries between identity, nation and embodiment.
The field of David Foster Wallace studies is now approaching two decades of scholarly and academic development. Stephen J. Burn’s guide to Infinite Jest appeared in 2003 and the first conference dedicated to Wallace Studies was organized by David Hering in Liverpool in 2009. In the ensuing years, hundreds of devoted scholars and readers have enriched and benefited from the field of work. Our annual conference is the showcase of this work—and the valuable opportunity to meet others in the field. For the 2024 conference in Austin, home of the Harry Ransom Center and Wallace’s archive, we invite papers commenting on any aspect of Wallace’s work, thought, influence, or context.
I am currently putting together the 2024 programme (January – June) of online talks for Romancing the Gothic: an online programme of talks on subjects related to horror, folklore, the supernatural, and more. We welcome talks from all disciplines and are particularly interested in showcasing the work of international scholars from around the world.
We hold talks every week at the weekend and run each talk twice (time zones permitting!) to make sure as many people from as many time-zones as possible can join us. You can find examples of previous talks here - https://romancingthegothic.com/class-schedules/

Cannibal Consumption: Culture, Capitalism, Critique
Keynote Speaker: Dr Xavier Aldana Reyes
Reproductive justice was developed as an international human-rights framework by activists and scholars in the 1990s and has become a cornerstone of intersectional feminist theory and practice within social sciences. Yet, it is only recently that researchers in arts and humanities have begun to tap the rich interdisciplinary potential this framework offers for bringing together reproductive rights, social justice, and cultural representation. In a contemporary moment shaken by ecological and economic crises, rises in far-right nationalisms across the globe, and the rolling back of hard-fought sexual rights in the USA, attention to questions of reproductive justice across the disciplinary spectrum is more urgent than ever.

If ‘space’ is understood as an area that can be objectively measured or at least conceptualised, the construction of ‘place’ depends on a range of affective and cultural meanings at any given moment.

CFP: The Global South (Journal): “Toxic Ecologies of the Global South”—Deadline December 31st, 2023
Shouldn’t the World Bank be encouraging more migration of the dirty industries to the LDCs (less developed countries)? … I think the economic logic behind dumping a load of toxic waste in the lowest wage country is impeccable and we should face up to that… I’ve always thought that under-populated countries in Africa are vastly under-polluted. (Lawrence Summers, chief economic advisor to the IMF, 1991).

Cinephile 18.1 – (Un)recovering Lost Futures
The late cultural theorist Mark Fisher asks, “how long can a culture persist without the new?” For Fisher, the postmodern future under capitalist realism, “harbours only reiteration and re-permutation” (6-7). In capitalism’s inability to look beyond itself, media culture has become excessively nostalgic and “incapable of generating any authentic novelty” (63). Accordingly, one can observe a certain malaise surrounding media’s inability to imagine new and alternative futures.
