Nintendo was founded just three years after the beginning of the Meiji era in 1889; 100 years later, the company dominated the global game market, having rescued the U.S. video game market in the wake of the 1983 crash. Considering Japanese cultural identity as isolated from a global context misunderstands a long history of active construction of that identity as global and globalizing. Yet, Video Game Studies has often come from a decidedly Euro-centric perspective that regularly frames Japan as an isolated monoculture rather than acknowledging the global existence of Japan and its cultural products.

Call for Papers for the inaugural event of CHASE's newly established Refugee Justice Network for a Borderless World: Borders proliferate and refugeehood expands at the present time. Borders follow us everywhere, they are not just physical; they are as much digital, institutional, social,  imaginative. Bordering methods that exert their force on human lives and experiences by ordering statehood, stagnation and citizenship regimes have for long been in discussion. However, the nuances and challenges of the problem are yet to be re-evaluated and re-thought. While discussions of certain geographical areas and lives affected by borders have been in the spotlight, many remained unanalysed and, as a result, invisible.

Cultural Circulations, Global Mobilities, and Knowledge Translations: Turning Points in the Nineteenth Century

The nineteenth century witnessed an unprecedented acceleration and densification of human movements that generated, perhaps for the first time, cultural circulations on a global scale. With the world more interconnected than it had ever been, the need to classify, translate and hierarchise knowledge became more pressing than ever.

ASALH Conference Panel - Death and Grief Among Black Communities

Robin Brooks
deadline for submissions: 
Friday, March 7, 2025

The proposed panel dovetails with this year’s conference theme for ASALH "African American labor." While it is true that “Black labor has been central to political, economic, social, cultural, and technological transformations,” the hardships of that labor and the intricacies of Black lived experiences have also led to all types of death. As people of African descent continue to be accosted on multiple fronts, examining both our historical and present-day experiences around the subject of death is an undertaking worth engaging. In recent years, conversations about the uncomfortable subject of death were facilitated by the pandemic, and several studies have documented the disproportionate mortality rate from COVID-19 for Black people in the United States.

ASAP-16 (2025) -- Rethinking Justice “Where Life is Precious…”

updated: 
Sunday, February 9, 2025 - 12:37pm
Jennie Snow
deadline for submissions: 
Friday, March 14, 2025

In recounting how she introduces prison abolition work to skeptics, Ruth Wilson Gilmore shares the principle, “where life is precious, life is precious.” This life-affirming axiom grounds a praxis that is about changing everything, breaking with oppressive power systems and making worlds that reduce harm by investing in care. At the same time, the ongoing climate crisis reinforces a horizon of extinction that reorients the relationships between more-than-human and human lives, demanding more radical conceptions of our collective world(s). A. Naomi Paik, for instance, develops the idea of “abolitionist sanctuary” out of the movement for immigrant rights.

Thursday, May 15, 2025

This call for papers seeks contributions examining the relationship between narratives and ecological issues, focusing on the ways storytelling addresses ecological challenges. Narratives – whether literary, cinematic, or multimodal – have the potential to critique environmental exploitation, envision sustainable futures, and explore human and non-human interconnections. The intersection of ecocriticism and storytelling offers fertile ground for discussions about the role of culture in shaping ecological consciousness and practices.

Modern Language Association
deadline for submissions: 
Thursday, March 20, 2025

The 2026 Modern Language Association (MLA) Convention will be held from January 8 to January 11 in Toronto. The past few years have highlighted death and the value of health, but there still remains a lack of knowledge and studies concerning the reality of these experiences for some people, especially marginalized groups. This panel session is open to all perspectives and seeks to explore death, health, and/or their intersections in the humanities and beyond. It also draws attention to health humanities. Some questions the panel addresses include: what are some ways literary and cultural texts broaden our understanding of health, mortality, grief, and wellness or living life well?

CFP: ‘My Wild Heart Bleeds: Exploring Sheridan Le Fanu’s ‘Carmilla’and its legacy’

 

Sheridan Le Fanu published his sapphic vampire tale ‘Carmilla’ in 1872, reworking the vampire genre, and creating a figure who has inspired subsequent original works and reimaginings. This collection focuses on new explorations and readings of ‘Carmilla’ and its ongoing legacy, from adaptations and reimaginings to more subtle influences on the figure of the female vampire and the vampiric tradition more broadly.
