Palgrave Studies in Global Literatures and Religions Series

Series Editor: Heather Ostman

The Palgrave Studies in Global Literatures and Religion Series invites book proposals for essay collections or monographs that align with the Series’s intention:

Archives are valuable sites of memory and knowledge, as well as sites of violence and power. In a hyper-saturated world of post-truth and fake news, archives provide a powerful tool to understand the past, interpret the present and imagine better futures. Following Walter Benjamin’s saying, scholars have a responsibility to “brush history against the grain” when delving into archival documents, to find what is absent or hidden and make it speak again. This conference presents scholars with the opportunity to explore various questions that arise when facing archives as dynamic sites of memory: How do we challenge and deal with archives as sites of power? How can queer and marginal subjects be found or salvaged in archives that erase their presence?

Seeking presentations on literatures, theories, and pedagogies conducive to fostering metalinguistic appreciation and awareness in an age of disappearing foreign language requirements. 300-word abstract and short CV.

The American Association of Australasian Literary Studies (AAALS) invites paper proposals for its 2025 Annual Conference, to be held in Honolulu, Hawai`i from 14–18 May 2025. We invite papers addressing any aspect of literature, film, and other cultural narratives of Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand.

In light of this year’s conference location, we are also inviting papers on literature, film, and cultural narratives of the Pacific Islands. We are especially interested in papers examining transnational or oceanic intersections of literatures and cultures, as well as papers on Aboriginal, Māori, or other Indigenous topics.

Call for Papers: 2nd James Bond Studies Conference

11th July 2025

Virtual/Online

In association with the International Journal of James Bond Studies and the Centre for Society, Culture, and Social Change in the School of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences, the University of Roehampton will host a 1-day virtual conference on Friday 11th July 2025.

In a book chapter published in 2015, Professor Emma Smith reflected that while “only the writing partnership with John Fletcher at the end of Shakespeare’s career is known to have lasted beyond a single play ... [Thomas] Middleton may yet emerge as a more significant collaborator. In addition, Middleton’s own plays show him to be a creative and responsive early reader and reviser of the older playwright’s work” (297).

The Educators' Alliance Caucus is sponsoring two guaranteed panels for the upcoming American Studies Association Annual Meeting in San Juan, Puerto Rico, November 20-22, 2025. 

1. Roundtable: Recent Research on Social Justice Pedagogy and Teaching

 Women in German ConferenceNovember 6-9, 2025University of Massachusetts Amherst – Amherst, MA As part of the 50th anniversary of Women in German, this panel is interested in how the material of the past can be transformed into an unexpected, whimsical, and radical future(s) by feminist intervention. It is about past things created anew with revolutionary consequences. We are interested in papers discussing literary adaptations from, between, and into film, television, theater, and other ‘modern’ media which provide a feminist or queer lens to the source text. Feminist and queer adaptations can both enrich an existing text while rejecting to utilize heteronormative, patriarchal, colonial languages that uphold oppressive institutions.

Fifty years ago Hélène Cixous inspired women to be courageous, expressive, and vocal. Since the publication of her groundbreaking article, ‘The Laugh of Medusa,’ we have undoubtedly made great strides in encouraging women from around the globe to tell their stories in literature, art, academia, film, television, and via a great many of new media. Women’s writing has blossomed, challenged, rebelled, and gained much more visibility as a form of expression, a creative force, and a field of research, giving us many reasons to celebrate this moment in history, even if the current political climate sometimes limits our feelings of hope.
