Hobhouse's career was ultimately marked by his election as a Fellow of the British Academy a hundred years ago, in 1925.Leonard Trelawny Hobhouse (1864-1929) was an extremely dynamic scholar and journalist, who wrote prolifically on a wide variety of subjects that were invariably closely related to the political and social reality of his time. Politics and sociology were, in fact, the two great fields that inspired most of the author's writings. Besides being a vigorous political thinker, Hobhouse was also one of the founding fathers of sociology in England and held the first Professorship of this discipline in the country. In fact, within the ideological sphere, L. T.

We invite chapters for a multi-disciplinary edited collection exploring heavy metal and rock bands that use concealed identities, stage personas and masks as a substantial part of their performance and aesthetic. Hidden identities are not a new phenomenon in either popular music generally or heavy metal/hard rock music more narrowly, as performers obscuring their identity through face paint, masks, and wigs goes back over half a century and encompasses bands including Kiss, Slipknot, and Gwar. New masked bands, including Sleep Token and Ghost, have recently risen to widespread popularity.

“Time and Disability in Literature”
Guest Edited by Adam Barrows, Professor of English, Carleton University (Ottawa, Canda)
Rooted in the ancient tradition of fabula, the concept of fabulation (or fonction fabulatrice) was perhaps most explicitly introduced to the modern philosophical lexicon by Henri Bergson, who described it as a “special faculty of voluntary hallucination.” It was later revisited by Gilles Deleuze, both with and without Félix Guattari, as a “speech act, an act of speech” that transgresses the boundary between the personal and the political, producing “collective utterances.”
The ‘No Kings’ protests on June 14, 2025, incited millions of people across the United States to oppose the policies of Donald Trump’s second presidency, manifesting an outspoken resistance against forms of autocracy. While the fervor and visibility of protesting has wavered throughout US history, sites and moments of resistance (against the government, specific policies, businesses, individuals, etc.) dominate the nation’s collective memory: from the anti-monarchist sentiment linking ‘No Kings’ to the Boston Tea Party, from the abolitionist movement to demonstrations against the Vietnam War, from the Stonewall uprising to Occupy Wall Street or the #MeToo movement.

Hemingway in Toronto
July 22-27, 2026 | Toronto, Canada
The Hemingway Society invites proposals for the 21st International Hemingway Conference, exploring Hemingway’s ties to Toronto and his broader literary legacy.
Toronto was a pivotal stop in Hemingway’s early career—a place where he honed his craft as a journalist, earned his first bylines at The Toronto Star, and briefly settled to welcome his first child in 1923. The 2026 conference offers an opportunity to revisit these formative years and discuss Hemingway’s impact from multiple perspectives.
Photography / Intensity / Measure
Call for Book Chapters

This has been provoked by the development and consolidation of digital networked imaging technologies, the massive expansion of social media, advances in machine learning, the sheer scale of image datasets, and the development of AI imaging platforms. Novel forms such as Point Cloud, Giga-pixel and Light-Field imaging, to mention just a few, have challenged accepted ideas of measure and how they structure the visual.
