The Journal of Languages, Texts and Society welcomes, on an ongoing basis, proposals for:

Philosophy and its Form

Throughout its history, philosophy has appeared in myriad forms: Plato’s dialogues; Montaigne’s Essais; Nietzsche’s aphorisms; Rosa Luxemburg’s Public Lectures; Simone de Beauvoir’s journalism, travelogs, and novels; Aimé Césaire’s dramas; and Fred Moten’s poetry collections. This is before we recognize the variety of styles employed by philosophers within more traditional essay forms: Benjamin’s critical biographies of Baudelaire, Deleuze’s Plateaus, and W. E. B. DuBois’ interpolation of musical passages in The Souls of Black Folk.

Book proposals are invited for a series called Gender and Culture in the Romantic Era, published by Anthem Press (http://www.anthempress.com/). Gender and Culture in the Romantic Era is a series of scholarly monographs and edited collections devoted to the topics of gender and culture in British poetry, fiction, and drama from roughly 1780 to 1830. In terms of gender, the series encompasses scholarship related to the lives and works of women writers but also includes studies that address broader constructions of gender identity and sexuality.

Romance, Revolution and Reform, Issue 8Play in the Long Nineteenth Century Call for Submissions

The scholarly research on Comfort Women studies has grown significantly over the past three decades, focusing on the experiences of women who were forced into sexual slavery by the Japanese military during World War II. Early works primarily centered on the historical and legal aspects, analyzing the testimonies of survivors and the geopolitical ramifications of Japan's wartime actions. Studies such as Yoshimi Yoshiaki's Comfort Women (1995) and the testimonies collected by organizations like the Korean Council for the Women Drafted for Military Sexual Slavery highlighted the widespread nature of the system and the ongoing struggles for justice.

As the upcoming 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence drives increased interest in the founding of the United States, this conference, co-hosted by the American Philosophical Society’s Library & Museum and the Science History Institute aims to widen the scope of such conversations. Inspired in part by the APS’s 2025 exhibition, Philadelphia: The Revolutionary City and “America’s Scientific Revolutionaries,” a multiyear project funded by the Lounsbery Foundation we invite proposals from scholars from all disciplines whose research illuminates the intersections of science and society in the Atlantic World between 1764 and 1804. Potential topics include (but are not limited to):

The Sixteenth IASEMS Conference

Tuscia University (Viterbo), 29-30 September 2025 Convenors: Alba Graziano and the IASEMS Executive Board

The issue’s topic revolves around Education and will challenge our anthropogenic philosophies.

It will be an exploration into what education actually means and what alternative philosophies could replace the current, education is for getting a good job and becoming a productive worker, expanding the economy, to something more holistic, more socially beneficial and more forward thinking.

All of this can be answered with fictional stories, philosophical papers, poems or personal essays.

The Anthropocene has a deficit of philosophy that looks at the world from a different point of view, instead of the one prescribed, centralised, accepted narrative.

Are Greek myths, as Charlotte Higgins argued for The Guardian in 2021, ‘relevant for all time’? This question relates to the widespread influence of ancient Greek myth in contemporary culture, especially in areas such as literature. The classical stories of Homer and Sophocles, amongst others, are frequently being revised to offer a modern entry point to ancient myth. In recent years, publishing has seen a sharp rise in re-imaginings of Greek myth, and works by Pat Barker, Margaret Atwood, Madeline Miller, Natalie Haynes, Jennifer Saint, Bea Fitzgerald, and Jessie Burton, have all appeared on bestseller lists.
