Book Details:

We invite chapter proposals for an edited collection titled Metafictional Horror Cinema: The Screen as Mirror, to be submitted to the UWP Horror Studies series. The volume explores how horror cinema reflects on its own formal strategies, lays bare its narrative and technological mechanisms, and confronts viewers with unsettling modes of self-awareness.

The volume will explore the role of metafiction within horror cinema, from postmodern genre revisions and reflexive found-footage films to avant-garde and hybrid works that fracture narrative logic, collapse diegetic boundaries, break the fourth wall, or explicitly implicate the viewer in acts of spectatorship and violence.

University of Florence (Italy), 26th-27th October 2026

Seeking on papers about opacity in contemporary literature and art for a panel at ASAP (Association for the Study of Arts of the Present) 2026 Convention. Please send an abstract and a short bio to Sané Bhattarai (bhattsan@gvsu.edu) or Moya (Moyang) Li (moyang.li@csulb.edu) by April 24.

Session Abstract: The genre of African American poetry has a long legacy of both preserving tradition and evolving to suit current times and places. This session invites discussion of the defining features that have been maintained over time as well as patterns of bold experimentation. Rather than seeing tradition and innovation as opposing aesthetic directions, this session hopes to examine ways they have co-existed in this genre and been mutually fruitful.

Archives are not neutral: they tell stories about who counts, whose experiences are remembered, and whose are erased. For centuries, racial hierarchies have shaped the preservation of knowledge, leaving silences where Black, Indigenous, and other marginalized voices should be. The Antiracism Permanent Section of the MMLA invites submissions that move beyond critique, asking how we can reimagine, rebuild, and transform the archive to reflect justice, equity, and shared humanity.We are especially interested in work that explores:

The figure of the witch (both real and imagined) is inherently political and potentially contentious. Each wave of feminism has reflected on shifting considerations of the witch as evocative of issues around gender, power and, more recently, intersectional aspects of identity. More recent critical engagement with witches and witchcraft reflects a transition, transcending disciplinary boundaries and positioning the witch in line with shifting contemporary debates. This shift moves the witch beyond the symbolic or the individual to consider both the interconnected and disparate nature of the witch. We can, instead, see the witch as a key component in movements of political change, as activist alongside the spiritual expl

Though getting it together may signal a practice of spontaneous collectivity, “get it together” is also a gendered command—one which affiliates a performance of femininity with certain aesthetic expectations and demands the unbounded work of love, care, and social reproduction. How do we understand the aesthetics of femininity in a moment where feminism has been defanged of its oppositionality, when it functions as an alibi for the tide of fascism in the form of TERFs and girlbosses? Everyday injunctions toward norms of femininity appear in the form of “Get Ready With Me” videos, Planned Parenthood’s decision to offer Botox, ceaseless trend cycles, and the normalization of weight loss medication, with Serena Williams as its icon.

Exploring the overlapping cultural and literary impacts of Taylor Swift, this session considers her songs, legacy, political endeavors, friendships, feuds, collaborations, and fandom especially through this year's themes of culture, power, and conflict.

This special issue brings together innovative and interdisciplinary comics scholarship that rethinks the epistemic, aesthetic, political, material, and decolonial aspects of comics across the Global South. These forms prompt renewed reflection and inquiry into what it means to draw knowledge, memory, community, dissent, and futurity, while simultaneously interrogating the foundational categories of representation, authorship, narrative form, and colonial epistemology.

Information, Medium & Society: Twenty-Fifth International Conference on Publishing Studies, University of Split, Croatia, 30 June - 2 July 2027

Information, Medium & Society: The Publishing Studies Research Network was founded in 2003 with the inaugural International Conference on the Future of the Book. Since then, the Research Network has expanded its scope in two phases. The first was in 2009 when it became the Books, Publishing, and Libraries Research. In this iteration, the Research Network began to look beyond the book as the primary site of investigation. In 2019 the network underwent another change, to become Information, Medium & Society - The Publishing Studies Research Network.
