Submission details:

We are seeking speakers to fill up a panel at the APL Conference “Borders/Freedom/Civility” at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, June 12-15, 2024, on the question of how science fiction aesthetics, the experience of science fiction, and the experience of otherness in science fiction relate. Science Fiction is one of the foremost genres exploring the relation between the alien other as a way of thinking through interhuman relations across borders, but, as a liminally “high” literary form, it is often excluded from discussions of the aesthetic experience of literature as a driving force of intellectual engagement.

Impost: A Journal of Creative and Critical Work, a peer-reviewed journal published by the English Association of Pennsylvania State Universities, welcomes submissions of creative writing (poetry, fiction, nonfiction, short dramatic pieces, and literary journalism), as well as scholarly essays in all fields of English studies.

Colour Turn invites abstracts on all areas of colour research and colour science. This includes research in the humanities and natural sciences. Interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary papers are also welcome.

Please send a 250-word abstract to submission[at]colourturn.net by Monday, April 8.
Please be sure to include your name, contact details and the title of the paper in your abstract.
