Dear Colleagues and Friends,
A Duel Between Memories: (Special Session) at the Pacific Ancient and Modern Language Association (PAMLA) Conference 2025
Jewish Israelis and Palestinian Arabs have, through literature, songs, poetry, film, and other media, constructed two very different understandings of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict's history. This session invites papers that address any aspect of the role that literature and/or other media have played in creating, maintaining, and disseminating two distinct narratives. Proposals related to the conference theme of "Palimpsests: Memory and Oblivion" are preferred but not required.
Potential topics include:
CFP: “The Companies We Keep – Figurations, Narratives, and Practices of Co-Living in Common Spaces in 21st-Century British and Anglophone Literatures”
Workshop, 31. October – 1. November 2025, Goethe University, Frankfurt am Main
Confirmed Keynote speaker: Ben Highmore (University of Sussex)
Humanities Bulletin Journal - Call for papers
Submission Deadline: April 25, 2025
Vol. 8, No. 1 - May, 2025
ISSN 2517-4266
Humanities Bulletin is a multidisciplinary peer-reviewed Journal which features original studies and reviews in the various branches of Humanities, including History, Literature, Philosophy, Arts.
This journal is not allied with any specific school of thinking or cultural tradition; instead, it encourages dialogue between ideas and people with different points of view. Our aim is to bring together different international scholars, in order to promote the dialogue between cultures, ideas and new academic researches.
The Journal is hosted by London Academic Publishing, London, UK.
Welcome to POSTCOLONIAL FUTURES AND NEW FUTURISMS.
Registration is now open for the second edition of the International Summer School ENTANGLEMENTS, hosted by the University of Padua from July 7 to 11, 2025.
The Department of Linguistic and Literary Studies is inviting undergraduate and master’s students, PhD candidates and young researchers to take part in an immersive cultural experience focused on post- and decolonial futures and the latest literary futurisms (Afrofuturism, Africanfuturism, Indigenous futurisms, Latin American futurisms), and featuring dialogues with exceptional international guests.
“Violence is man recreating himself,” psychiatrist and critic Frantz Franon wrote in 1961 in The Wretched of the Earth as he witnessed postcolonial destruction in the wake of the Algerian War. The violence he underscored in his seminal work was not the centuries-long decimation of the land and culture of the oppressed, but rather the revolution of the colonized against hegemony to reclaim a national and racial identity.

Call for Papers: Willa Cather and the Nineteenth Century at C19 2026
The term ‘Global South’ has become a new agency in the changing world today as it has been an evolving space for resistance, innovation and transformation. Although the very emergence of Global South has been often quoted as a reaction to the cultural and political imposition by ‘the dominant force’ that determines and regulates world politics and media discourses in many ways, Global South still seeks to assert its right of self-determination, economic cooperation and continual resistance to neo-colonialism. The countries, communities and societies which are located within the broader spectrum of ‘Global South’ continue to contribute and attempt to shape and alter the public discourse on equity, sustainability and justice.

We are seeking proposals for papers that explore Octavia E. Butler’s oeuvre for a special session at the PAMLA 2025 Conference in San Francisco.
The session format is a seminar: Four to seven participants will share their paper ahead of time and then present a brief (five to seven minute) summary of their paper during the seminar, allowing time for an extended question and discussion period.
All submissions are welcome, but because Butler’s literature evidently lives in the past, present, and future—within the fictional worlds she builds and in our world as her readers—we are particularly interested in papers that engage with her work in relation to the 2025 PAMLA conference theme, “Palimpsests: Memory and Oblivion.”

In this special issue of the BFS (British Fantasy Society) Journal we take a hard look at War in Fantasy. Conflict, from skirmishes to mass battles, tavern brawls to planet-wide apocalypses, is a staple of Fantasy: The Battle of the Five Armies in The Hobbit, The Last Battle in Narnia, The War in Heaven by Charles Williams, and Lyra Belacqua’s fight against death and the consciousness-stifling strictures of the Magisterium, are a few examples.

ABSTRACT
Since the end of direct colonization, African literature has remained anchored in a new direction of consciousness-raising and awakening for black people. This literature, which has always served as a means of expression and protest in the face of social challenges, has since served as a tool for learning and education.
