Williams Wells Brown: A Man of Letters
This panel seeks works investigating the tug between progressive and conservative ideals and influences on the Gothic genre, especially as they are expressed through the ways Nature and the environment are used and described.
Tracing its roots to a long history of philosophical discourse, identity stands as one of the most intricate and ubiquitous concepts within the large debates of human and social sciences. It is taken for granted in everyday life and assumed to be an all-inclusive determinant of empirical and virtual entities; yet, obscure when it comes to marking out its essence as a referential determinant and delineating the shaping politics of its concretizations. The ambiguity and paradox of identity stem from the contradictory dimensions it encompasses, entailing at the same time a sense of similitude yet difference, uniqueness yet commonness, and independence yet reliance.

Roger Corman’s Horror Movies: collected essays
edited by Sue Matheson
Part of theLexington Books Horror Studiesseries edited by Carl Sederholm
We are bringing out an edited collection of essays with the working title Time is Power: Temporality and Caste. Time is an ontological phenomenon organized around humans’ need for social interaction and collective life, often compelling individuals to be chrono-normative or abide by a rigid clock. Currently little scholarship exists which examines the power of time and temporal agency in an environment organized by systems of caste and other intersecting identities.
