Special Issue Call for Papers Bandung: Journal of the Global South Brutalism, Remaindered Life and World-making in the Precarious Global South: Representations in Fiction and Film

Objective

This special issue focuses on the critical practices that give rise to the notion of ‘brutalism’ and ‘remaindered life’ in the global South. Tied centrally to the militarized nature of neoliberalism, the concept of brutalism and remaindered life will be analyzed to understand how the divisive nature of neoliberalism is not only exploitative but aims to retain, even heighten the cultural supremacy, economic superstructure, and political power of the global North.

Following the inaugural Henri Nouwen Lectureship, the Henri Nouwen Society, in partnership with the Oblate School of Theology, is pleased to announce an Academic Symposium dedicated to the life, work, and enduring influence of Henri Nouwen, a profound thinker and writer whose contributions to theology, spirituality, and pastoral care have inspired countless individuals and communities. This symposium aims to bring together scholars and practitioners to explore and critically engage with Nouwen’s rich body of work.

1. Transmedia Explorations of Cannibalism: Dehumanizing Accusations and Empowering Rebuttals

This transmedia monograph takes the theoretical perspective of “cannibalism as discourse.” It includes ten chapters that focus on an accusation of cannibalism and then a counter-culture pushback that uses cannibalism as a source of contemplation, empowerment, and/or returns the accusation of cannibalism back to the hegemonic culture. 

The Rupkatha Journal on Interdisciplinary Studies in Humanities (indexed by Web of Science) invites submissions for its 60th issue on "Transforming Humanities Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, and Human-Computer Interaction". As we approach the completion of the first quarter of the current century, the intervention of digital technologies in the Humanities is all set to transform how we study and understand human culture, history, and society. This technological convergence offers new methodologies and insights that can impact the humanities immensely.
