Call for chapters.
This is a call for any scholar and Early Career Researcher interested in taking part in a project whose final aim is to publish an edited book about Romanticism and art in Latin America.
This project intends to reappraise the development of Romanticism in Latin America from a critical perspective incorporating feminism, decolonial thinking, Marxism, LGBTI studies, Queer theory, among others, in the analysis of this phenomenon’s main topics. Thereby, those proposals with a particular emphasis on the impact of issues such as class, gender, and race on the visual representation of landscape, nature and people will be very well received.

Global South: Incarceration and Resistance
In recent decades, research has repeatedly demonstrated the overrepresentation of boys and men in children’s media (tv and movies, literature, and games). This field of research has, justifiably, focused primarily on the impact of this inequality on girls and women and has grown to consider not only the quantity of representations but also their content.
CFP: Space, Place, and Locus: Mapping the New Europe (Online)
Conference Date: 2-4th June 2021
One year later, a “return to normal” remains the pandemic’s most enduring political promise, a token of hope to hedge against continued death and precarity. Held within this recursive promise, however, is a prima facie condition that deserves interrogation. What, exactly, is the “normal” to which we will return? Will capitalism and its attendant crises no longer demand our attention absent a continual state of emergency? The coherence and stability of the “normal” eludes us; Georges Canguilhem sees the normal as itself a chimeric category, one which, from the perspective of medicine and science, is not so distant from the “pathological” it is meant to foil.

Cities of Sound: Podcasting as Public Texts, Media, and Performances
Dear Colleagues,
Much of the Western world has a rising problem with white nationalists. These white supremacists often co-opt fields like Classics, medievalism, and Norse mythology to support their racist ideologies—twisting these disciplines and repressing or ignoring evidence for the multicultural and multiracial realities of the ancient and medieval world. In terms of Classics, these distortions and appropriations have been documented by an emerging generation of scholars like Donna Zuckerberg, Dan-el Padilla Peralta, Curtis Dozier, Sarah Bond, and others. Ancient myth, literature, and symbols continue to pervade modern culture.

The English theatre culture from the early Restoration to the early 18th century witnessed a marked shift towards increased commercialization and popularization of theatre. Gone were the post-1660 close association with the court, royalist productions, and prominently elite (well-off and upper-class) audiences. Instead, the experimentation with new genres, opening of new theatres, and a growing differentiation of the theatre programme into mainpieces, entr’acte entertainments and afterpieces revolutionized the established cultural hierarchies of the period.
