Journal Overview
Latinx Fandoms
Editor: Frederick Luis Aldama
Despite the recent boom in fan studies scholarship—a field that has traditionally provided space for those deemed academically undisciplined—significant gaps remain in our understanding of the cultural impact of Latinx fan communities and scenes. With Latinx Fandoms I hope to address this by bringing together the work of extraordinary scholars to highlight Latinx practices, knowledges, and cultural innovations as fans, fandoms, and collective shapers of scenes.
“Teaching Women Writers’ Edited Texts:
New Pedagogical Approaches to Feminist, Anti-Racist Recovery Work”
sponsored by the Margaret Fuller Society
American Literature Association Conference | May 21–24, 2025, Boston
The history of the Black Atlantic is rife with narratives of leaving and returns that can prove destabilizing factors, regarding identity and culture. Yet, it is in these stories, that a more complete image of the complexities of the lives of the people who traverse(d) the Black Atlantic becomes clearer. The literature of the men and women whose texts engage the 500-year history of the Black Atlantic narrative work to form a more nuanced image of Black life in the US, Caribbean, and Europe. In doing so, many of these works demonstrate the influence of African culture on members of the Diaspora through the inclusion of African spirituality in the texts.

Coined by Marianne Hirsch in the 1990s, the term postmemory by now entered various disciplines who search to understand how memory form our identity and how we position, articulate or just make sense of our place in the society and our relations with it. The term postmemory problematizes the concept of memory by bringing attention to the memories that are not exactly personal but that keep on shaping one’s life and one’s way of seeing the world.

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.

The concept of subalternity, rooted in Antonio Gramsci’s theoretical framework and later expanded in postcolonial studies by thinkers like Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, has been central to understanding the dynamics of power, representation, and marginalization. Subalternity refers to those groups and individuals excluded from hegemonic structures of power, whose voices are systematically silenced by dominant discourses. In contemporary literature, the subaltern is no more a passive subject of marginalization but an active agent of resistance, contestation, and self-articulation. Contemporary literature has become a critical space for the articulation of subaltern experiences, foregrounding the voices of those who have historically been denied agency.

Theatre Topics Special Issue Call for Papers: Whose Story? Resisting and Reimagining Master Narratives
Theatre tells stories; and theatre historically have been telling certain stories more than others. Examining several larger factors such as classicization, canonization, colonialism, racism and sexism, this special issue of Theatre Topics invites inquiries into ways in which theatre classics and canons may have formed historically, and the ways in which we are grappling with epistemic violence of erasure in our contemporary relationship with master narratives across the world.
