MultiPlay is delighted to announce that we are working on a new edited collection – Video Game Monsters: A Compendium

Monsters have been the foundation of the video game industry. They’ve been the bosses to beat, the enemies to avoid, the NPCs we’ve sometimes forged unlikely bonds with. Monsters are the true avatar of video games, and there has been an increase of work and attention in this area, such as Player v.s Monster (Svelch, 2023). MultiPlay feels the time is right for a special collection examining monsters in all of their video game forms, creating a thorough compendium of the monstrous history of video games. As Martin points out, video games studies has barely began to reckon with monsters (2023, np)

Expanding Perspectives on Hoccleve and Gender

A Session of Papers at the 2025 International Congress of Medieval Studies, Kalamazoo, sponsored by the International Hoccleve Society

In his notoriously laddish introduction to The Minor Poems,Frederick Furnivall wishes that Thomas Hoccleve had been “a manlier fellow.” Furnivall’s judgment reflects straitened Victorian gender norms that have little to do with medieval reality. But Hoccleve’s relationship to masculinity, femininity, and the gender politics of his own era remains an open question in criticism.

FASHION’S FIBRES AS PLANETARY FLOWSFashion Highlight journal, call for papers- issue 4

Guest Editors: Alice Payne and Anneke Smelik

Fibre, the basis of fashion’s materiality, is experiencing rising demand year on year, reflecting the insatiable desire for ‘more’ that defines the dominant fashion system. With an annual consumption of 116 million tonnes in 2022, close to a doubling in 20 years (Textile Exchange 2023), humanity’s appetite for fibre has never been more voracious. 

Sankofa: A Journal of African Children’s and Young Adult Literature is accepting scholarly article submissions for its Summer 2025 (Vol. 15) publication. This issue will focus on the theme “Gender and Sexuality in African and African Diaspora Children’s and Young Adult Literature.”

The anthology, Compton: Reflections on Art and the City, aims to analyze the intellectual and creative contributions of Compton artists and their works and explore the city of Compton as an important site of artistic and historical production.
