We would like to invite you to join and contribute to the 2nd Shapeshifters Symposium: Plasticity – Here, There, and Everywhere. This symposium brings together people interested in plasticity from a broad range of perspectives, from the natural and formal sciences to the social sciences, humanities, and art. During the symposium, we hope to further expand the concept of plasticity across disciplines.

Who are we? We are a group of interdisciplinary researchers working on the concept of plasticity, sponsored by the DutchCentre for Unusual Collaborations.

A Writer’s Palette: Colour in Late Modernist Literature 

Special Issue CfP for Textual Practice 

In the 2000s and 2010s, social networking facilitated citizen-based activism of enormous significance like #BlackLivesMatter and #MeToo. But in the 2020s, corporate enshittification and government surveillance have restricted the reach of social networking tools. For example, Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter meant that many users left X rather than adapt their activist practices to the restrictive corporate environment (Tenbarge & Collier 2024). Instances such as the Trump administration’s use of social media posts to target international students during the Gaza protests caused many users to avoid social media altogether (Lonas Cochran 2025).

Third Culture: Studies in Global Childhoods and Cosmopolitan Identities is a new peer-reviewed journal dedicated to the study of cultural and social issues related to complex cosmopolitan identities arising from mobile global childhoods which transcend conventional categories of migrancy and diaspora.

Storyworlds is an interdisciplinary journal of narrative studies. We publish cutting-edge research on storytelling practices across times, cultures, and media. The journal foregrounds research questions that cut across established disciplines and seeks to promote the understanding of narrative and storytelling as worldmaking—and worldbreaking—practices. 

We currently have a number of books available or forthcoming for review. 

This peer-reviewed fast-track collection seeks to publish innovative approaches to teaching Aphra Behn’s work, building on existing critical and pedagogical scholarship.

We do invite essays on Behn’s most-taught work, Oroonoko, but we aim particularly to give sustained attention to the full range of her literary life, and are especially interested in proposals about works that have been shown to be amenable to modern undergraduate teaching: the plays, the shorter fiction, the poems.

Postcolonial Interventions invites scholarly articles for the January 2027 issue on the theme of Popular Culture and the Rise of the Right.

This is the second call for papers for the edited volume tentatively titled ‘Visual Propaganda in an Era of Instability’. Based on distinct case studies explored in a wide range of book chapters, the main objective of the volume is to analyse the role of the image in driving public opinion and perception. The first call for papers generated a strong response and resulted in a number of high-quality contributions. During the review process, however, it became clear that several important dimensions of contemporary visual propaganda remained underrepresented. To address these gaps, we are issuing a second call for papers and expanding the historical timeframe under consideration from 2020 onwards to 2014 onwards.
