A "melange" is a term denoting works of art and literature that combine multiple forms, genres, and/or media. 

The new Princeton publication Melange: A Journal of Prose Poetry and the Arts accepts creative melanges, melanges in translation, and critical essays about melanges. Anyone may submit to Melange - professors, students, and independent scholars alike. 

In Spring 2025, we are publishing both a regular issue and a special issue. For the regular issue, we are looking for prose poetry, essays, visual art, translations, and combinations of the above. For the Special Issue Fantasy Dictionary, we are publishing entries from the Fantasy Dictionary Contest. 

In some ways, war does not change. In others, it is constantly in flux. Contemporary warfare is aided, disrupted, and mediated by ever-developing digital technologies, semi-autonomous and autonomous weapons and equipment, deepfake AI propaganda, mediation through social media, and much more. These shifts suggest that contemporary warfare is in some sense a ‘new’ modality of conflict, or at least that it has new and distinctive characteristics that are in urgent need of analysis and critique. What is clear is that we must scrutinize the utility of the central binaries that structure our knowledge of war—wartime and peacetime, battlefield and safe zone, innocence and complicity—in order to understand the state of contemporary armed conflict.

The first Canadian conference on agri-food and rural advisory, extension, and education (CAREE) will be held at the University of Guelph, 29-31 October 2025. The conference theme is extension 4.0: disruption and transformation in agri-food and rural development. It highlights the growing recognition of the Canadian approach to agri-food development. The conference addresses an overarching scholarly and policy discussion, both globally and regionally, that has long been captivated by a compelling question: Does Canada have an effective agri-food and rural extension and advisory service?

This accepted PAMLA special session panel explores memory and oblivion as they relate to queer culture and literature of the modern Hispanic world. Focusing on Latin America, Spain, and the global Hispanophone in the eighteenth through twentieth centuries, the panel explores practices of remembrance, commemoration, censorship, and forgetting both in queer culture (i.e., as practiced by queer individuals and groups) and of queer culture (in a broader cultural ecosystem). How have queer people sought to memorialize their predecessors and bequeath their legacy to future generations? How have these practices interacted with more expansive societal forces that alternately commemorate, silence or marginalize queer culture?

Eighteenth-century global history is a history of seas and oceans. International trade and migration stretched across all continents. Britain’s colonial empire, and the trades on which it thrived – not least the Slave Trade – was driven by its domination of the world’s waterways. The port city of Liverpool was a major gateway for Britain’s contact with the wider world through maritime routes. This complemented the complex network of domestic waterways – rivers, canals – which played a significant part in Britain’s industrial revolution.

Held previously in renowned locations like Beirut, Almeria, Barcelona, and Tenerife, MIFS is now set to take place at the University of Catania, Italy. The conference fosters academic networking and critical thinking through the presentation of research articles across various social sciences and humanities disciplines. Over the years, hundreds of papers have been presented and published in open-access format after undergoing a rigorous peer-review process.

MIFS welcomes scholars from a wide range of fields to participate in this vibrant intellectual exchange. Join us at the upcoming conference and contribute to the ongoing discourse in the social sciences and humanities!

PUBLICATION :

Throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, popular culture increasingly served as an intermediary to present and, in some cases, reimagine academia and the academy for mass audiences. This mediation results from an assembly of narratives from various media forms and contexts, both by those inside and outside the academy. The result is a vision of the academy in Western popular culture that is exciting and inviting at turns, but is more frequently shark-like, insular, and intimidating.

Concept Note

In recent decades, the term Global South has come to signify the distinctions between the industrialised nations of the “North” and the comparatively less developed nations of the “South.” The Global North-South designation, however, is not strictly geographical but instead reflects various geopolitical, economic, and ecological commonalities between countries.
