Performance and Migration in the Nordic and Baltic Regions
A special journal issue of Nordic Theatre Studies
Edited by Rebecca Brinch and Dirk Gindt
We kindly invite Authors to submit proposals to a special issue of The Polish Journal of Aesthetics- "The Beauty of Storytelling and the Story of Beauty", Vol. 75 (2/2025), edited by Joanna Szczepanik (Faculty of Architecture, West Pomeranian Technological University in Szczecin, Poland) and Kalina Kukiełko (Institute of Sociology, University of Szczecin, Poland)
Submission deadline: 31 March, 2025
The Cultural History panel seeks to revivify the political or social intersections that exist between text and context, including interdisciplinary aspects of culture. While papers that explore the continuities between history and film, history and literature, or history as it interweaves with marginalized aesthetic traditions would receive preference, excerpts of longer, ongoing projects that examine how cultural formations are “translated” or subsumed into historical trajectories would be particularly welcome. Submissions that not only practice cultural history by invoking the liminality of borderlands, but also critically reflect upon that practice are also encouraged.

What is the Young Rhetoricians' Conference?
The Young Rhetoricians’ Conference (YRC) began in 1985 at San Jose State University. From its inception, YRC has been a place for those who teach rhetoric at the university level to share research about teaching rhetoric and techniques for teaching rhetoric. “Young” refers not to the age of the rhetoricians but refers instead to rhetors with a willingness, in the mind, to dance whenever possible. You can learn more about YRC at our website.

In today’s rapidly changing global landscape, hospitality emerges as a pivotal focus in academic discourse, especially within Western geopolitical contexts. Hospitality, as a mode of conduct, garners both ardent enthusiasm and staunch opposition. As a concept, it presents both notable limitations and diverse modalities. This multidimensional notion encompasses a right, a privilege, an obligation, an act of sympathy, and an expression of charity. It shapes and is shaped by various environments, from tangible spaces and places to non-places and heterotopias (as articulated by Marc Augé). Its expansive research potential warrants a thorough, interdisciplinary exploration.
Steeped in the wide-flung diaspora of the Gothic mode, the Southern Gothic is one of the most prominent ways the South is represented in media and culture. Represented in the works of writers as varied as Carson McCullers, Flannery O’Connor, and William Faulkner to Cormac McCarthy, Cherie Priest, and Jesmyn Ward, whether categorized as a form, a style, or a genre, the Southern Gothic is bound up with the specificity of regional cultural anxieties about race, class, gender, sexuality, history, and geographic identity itself. From its most stereotypical depictions to more nuanced, complex interpretations, the Southern Gothic shapes the wider perception of regional identities in ways that invite our contemporary scholarly engagement.
