Methodological Approaches to Digital Spaces (MADS)

MADS (Methodological Approaches to Digital Spaces) is a FREE interdisciplinary symposium launched under the guidance and funding of NWCDTP to promote methodological and ontological advancements in the studies of digital spaces. MADS aims to explore diverse academic approaches to increasingly complex digital spaces, specifically focused on:

• new methods for exploring and preserving digital archives

• novel approaches to the collection and analysis of digital data

In a significant portion of feminist criticism in its populist interpretation, there is an ongoing sense of wanting to shape feminine characters from legends, folklore, and history into models for a kind of feminism and perceived empowerment more closely associated with twenty-first-century understandings of the feminine than those directly connected to social, historical, or cultural sources. This backcasting and interpretation changes these characters into ones that would better suit a modern set of beliefs through syncretism and the creation not of folkloric or cultural beliefs but of a folkloresque sense of the subject.

Great Writing International Creative Writing Conference

Saturday July 12 – Sunday July 13, 2025

University College London

This is the 28th Annual Great Writing International Creative Writing Conference.

Closing Date for Submissions: Sunday January 19, 2025*
Send proposals to: conference@greatwriting.org.uk

The conference will be held in person. 

For sign-up forms, consult: https://beyondtrauma.yolasite.com/ 

The Beyond Trauma Conference (June 9, 10, & 11, 2025; Nice, France) aims to gather an international and interdisciplinary group of scholars to share their research (ethnographies, theories, and clinical practice) on post-traumatic states from resistance and resilience to retribution and growth. More specifically, we propose to focus less on trauma and PTSD and more on modes of healing that so often involve the arts for trauma survivors. 

The twentieth anniversary of Ridley Scott’s Gladiator (2000) was an important moment in film history, for it not only marked a great film and work of art, but it also reminded audiences how peplum and historical epics still mattered. The edited collection “A Hero Will Endure”: Essays at the Twentieth Anniversary of ‘Gladiator’ (2023) provided insights on the film two decades after its release.

Yet now there is a sequel with a November 2024 release. This CFP therefore serves to build on the work done in the 2023 essays and provide a further avenue of exploration for connections between the two films as well as innovative readings of Gladiator 2 on its own.

Topics include, but are not limited to:
