The depiction of dancing has been a part of animated image’s history since the beginnings of cinema with e.g. Eadweard Muybridge’s zoopraxiscope glass disks from 1893 with one of them showing “a couple waltzing”. In 1929, Walt Disney created The Skeleton Dance as part of the company's Silly Symphonies series. More experimental approaches to dance and animation resulted in Norman McLaren and Grant Munro’s playful animated short Two Bagatelles (1952), as well as the expressive images of Denis Poulin and Martine Époque’s CODA (2014). Not to forget “The Dancing Baby” from the very early days of the internet in 1996 by Michael Girard, Robert Lurye and John Chadwick.

In recent years, the landscape of Italian postcolonial literature has been profoundly shaped by prominent authors whose works illuminate a reality that diverges from traditional representations of Italian identity. These narratives offer a groundbreaking re-examination of Italy's colonial past from the perspective of the oppressed, highlighting the enduring socio-economic and cultural repercussions on former colonies and their inhabitants.

In an age marked with conflict and strife, humanity is still searching for solutions to oppression and marginalization. In order to better understand the factors leading to these problems, Kimberlé Crenshaw first introduced the term “intersectionality” in 1989 to explain how a person’s intersecting identities such as gender, race, ethnicity, sexuality, age, ability, nationality and religion affect their access to opportunities and privileges. In literary and linguistic studies, intersectionality is used as a framework of analysis that helps scholars examine how these factors fuel various issues, ranging from health inequity to climate change and how they are expressed, negotiated and at times resolved through texts.

Plí: The Warwick Journal of Philosophy, is pleased to announce a Call for Papers for its upcoming special issue on “Continental Philosophy and Global South Perspectives”.

           The vibe shift among the Democratic base since President Biden announced he would not seek reelection has been remarkable: apathy and anxiety have morphed into enthusiasm and a newfound pugnacious spirit. Stumping for Vice-President Kamala Harris, Minnesota governor Tim Walz, Harris’ vice-presidential pick, launched the verbal missile which has revitalized the campaign’s messaging and sought to define Republicans in succinct, yet devastating terms: they’re weird.

Double Helix invites submissions of research articles, reports from the field, experimental essays, scholarly notes, and book reviews on critical thinking and writing pedagogy. October 15 is the recommended deadline for work to be considered for Volume 12 (2024).

Call for Proposals for Online Symposium: Crude Representations: BP and the Cultural Imagination of Oil

Online Symposium Friday 24th January 2025

Keynote Speaker: Mona Damluji, Assistant Professor of Film & Media Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara

Oil is a cultural as well as material product. It is now pervasive in every aspect of modern life: transport, energy, communications and media, pharmaceuticals, farming, food ingredients and packaging, homes. As many scholars in the energy and environmental humanities have demonstrated, to understand our current dependence on oil and enact decarbonisation we need to contend with its cultural dimensions.
