Call for Papers (Issue 36): Family

The family as an ostensibly biological group has been naturalised as the fundamental unit of collective organisation.

Protecting certain familial structures has long provided justification for the ongoing legal regulation of sex, marriage, and reproduction, making the family a contentious site for feminist, queer, and racially-marked subjects.

In the year following the poet’s bicentenary, the 49th International Byron Association Conference will delve into the poet’s enduring and multifaceted legacy from the immediate aftermath of his death to the twenty-first century. The Conference aims to investigate Byron’s perspectives on various forms of futurity– historical, political, personal, and spiritual, among others – as well as the place he and his works have held in culture and literature since 1824, both in Britain and overseas.
