Critical Plant Studies, a book series published by Lexington Books, an imprint of Bloomsbury Books, an imprint of Rowman & Littlefield, calls us to re-examine in fundamental ways our understanding of and engagement with plants, drawing on diverse disciplinary perspectives. A sampling of topics appropriate for this series includes but is not limited to:
Ecocritical Theory and Practice, a book series published by Lexington Books, an imprint of Bloomsbury Books, is seeking proposals at the interface of literary/cultural studies and the environment.
Against the backdrop of a 21st century addicted to ‘origins’ and ‘ends,’ this ACLA seminar uses the work of Gillian Rose (1947-1995) to explore the possibilities of the ‘broken middle’. Contemporary politics and literature too often eschew the middle in favour of posited utopias: perceiving in the crisis of the present an imminent transcendence towards redemption (the nation-state made great again) or catastrophe (climate apocalypse); attempting to circumvent social institutions and the media in favour of direct relationships with the other; believing fervently in materiality, affect or corporeality ‘beyond’ the mediation of language (even as its residue).

CALL FOR PROPOSALS

I am excited to invite submissions for a new volume titled Transmedia Storytelling in K-Pop, which is under contract with Lexington Books—an imprint of Bloomsbury Books.
Renascence: Essays on Literature and Ethics, Spirituality, and Religion continues to publish scholarship on a wide range of time periods, traditions, and perspectives. While welcoming essays on our longstanding concerns such as T S Eliot, Flannery O’Connor, and Graham Greene, we call attention to our recent interventions into contemporary writers like Marilynne Robinson and Carolyn Forché, into Dante studies and Shakespeare studies, and into non-Western areas of inquiry.
Chapters are needed for an edited collection entitled Monsters with Minds of Their Own in Western and Global Literatures and Media. This collection seeks to contribute to a series on the non-human in literature and culture. It aims at examining (the intersections between) the notions of monstrosity and evil in the literary and artistic depictions of non-human and hybrid (or post-human) intelligence in different cultural and historical contexts. It focuses on the representation of monsters and creatures that have cognitive abilities as well as on the demonizing and vilification of artificially or magically enhanced human intelligence.
A ghost, Avery Gordon writes, “has a real presence and demands its due, your attention” (2008, Ghostly Matters). To answer this demand, our seminar invites submissions that turn their attention to literary and artistic ghosts. After all, ghosts are profoundly literary figures; like poetics, they are defined by their repetitions and returns, and constantly referring to something else, though failing to fully represent it. However, ghosts are not any literary figures. They are haunting, and although they have a strong presence they come into life in place of something absent. Moreover, in their haunting presence, they are signalling “repressed or unresolved social violence” (Gordon, 2008).
Our Special Section for Transfers: Interdisciplinary Journal of Mobility Studies seeks articles that are situated at the intersection of Black/ African/ Afrodiasporic aeromobilities and studies in literature and culture. Concentrating on “the study of various complex systems, assemblages and practices of mobility” (Sheller 2014, 45), mobilities research is often associated with the social sciences. Yet the field is also firmly rooted in the humanities (Aguiar et al. 2019, 4–5; Merriman and Pearce 2017, 493–494), and representations of mobilities are increasingly being studied in diverse cultural products.
Dear Scholars and Researchers
We are delighted to announce a Call for Book Chapters for an upcoming edited book titled “Creative Disruption: Impact of AI on English Language and Literature Studies.” This volume aims to explore the transformative influence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on the study, interpretation, and teaching of English Language and literature Studies. We invite contributions from scholars, researchers, and educators who are interested in examining how AI is reshaping the literary landscape, from literary analysis and criticism to pedagogy and linguistic studies.
Located at the juncture of philosophy and the arts, mimesis is one of the most ancient concepts of literary theory and may not initially appear new, let alone original. It was indeed marginalized and forgotten in the Romantic and modernist periods, haunted by the myth of originality. Yet, in recent years, scholars across the humanities, social sciences, and even the neurosciences, have returned to the ancient, yet strikingly contemporary, realization that humans are an imitative species, or homo mimeticus (www.homomimeticus.eu).
The Emerging Scholars Organization (ESO), an affiliate of the Society of the Study of Southern Literature, invites current students and/or beginning faculty to submit abstracts for an upcoming guaranteed panel on envisioning the future of the South for SAMLA 96 this November 15th-17th in Jacksonville, Florida. This year’s conference theme, “Seen and Unseen,” looks to parts of stories that are untold.

Infrastructures, both visible and invisible, are all around us and they permeate our lives in various ways. Larkin defines infrastructures as “built networks that facilitate the flow of goods, people, or ideas and allow for their exchange over space” (327). Though most commonly associated with its physical manifestations, the term infrastructurealso encompasses intangible elements that play a crucial role in society. Thus, infrastructures are not merely "limited to pipes, roads, and wires" but should, instead, be understood as “interdependent networks of materials, people, and nature that enable the functioning of modern life” (Lockrem 529).
The family can be a place of hidden and haunted spaces, and in these spaces they bring to mind the uncanny, often moving deftly from the ordinary to the extraordinary or supernatural. Families are also notorious receptacles for trauma and are frequently explored in writing from Isabel Allende’s La casa de los espíritus/House of the Spirits to Tara Westover’s Educated.
After working in alternative or hybrid spaces throughout the pandemic, the return of educators and students to the “traditional” classroom has brought its own unique challenges and frustrations both for students and instructors. Learners who previously participated in fully remote classes are expected to integrate smoothly into synchronous in-person courses with little guidance or preparation. Instructors are offered little guidance in easing the transition for students and are often already stretched thin themselves. In light of these circumstances, educators must reevaluate what teaching methods and structures might best serve students and instructors in a technological and AI-driven era.

In his seminal work, Encountering Development, Arturo Escobar traces a history of development that begins with the Truman Doctrine and unfolds as a western plot to control and contain the so-called “Third World.” Here, development is something undertaken by western financial institutions and imposed on the economies of Asia, Africa, and Latin America. It is counter-revolutionary, intended to curtail the radical economic visions that emerged with decolonization and the formal end of empire.
