The Elizabeth Bowen Review is an open access online journal, publishing essays on all aspects of Elizabeth Bowen’s work and life.  The Editors are now accepting submissions for Volume Eight. The focus for the volume is ‘Why Bowen Matters’, the title of the symposium organised by the Irish Writers’ Centre in June 2026, but essays on any area of her life and work will also be welcome. Completed essays should be submitted by 30th September 2026. Essays should be no more than 6,000 words in length excluding bibliography and footnotes, and use the Harvard referencing system. All essays are subject to double blind peer review.

This panel considers the often overlooked presence of flora and fauna in early modern print, whether they appear as marginalia, within printers’ ornaments, or as materially integral to books. Animals and plants always carry symbolic value—a single image sometimes carrying diametrically opposed values—and participate in a broader network of signification through emblems, printers’ ornaments, marginalia, and engraven images. Do those values come into tension with each other via the margin, the marginal, and the marginalized? In what ways do peripheral plants and animals comment on questions of identity, like gender, race, or disability?

*Call for Chapters* for our upcoming edited volume, Adaptive Learning and AI: Global Socio-Technical Discourses, co edited with Dr. Debanjali Roy , Dr. N P Subheesh, and Dr. Sobin C.C.The book has already received a Letter of Intent (LOI) from Peter Lang and, upon publication, will be submitted for indexing in Scopus.This volume brings together interdisciplinary perspectives on AI-driven adaptive learning, moving beyond technocentric frameworks to engage with its epistemological, pedagogical, and socio-political implications.

The Hispanic Caribbean literary canon of the 19th and 21st centuries—spanning Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic—frequently wrestles with the complex dynamics of narrative erasure and authorial control. While these vibrant traditions offer profound insights into regional identity, certain texts replicate systemic marginalization by silencing minoritized characters or speaking entirely for them or over them. Whether rendering Afro-Caribbean, Indigenous, queer, or working-class figures completely voiceless, or problematically assuming their perspectives through a privileged lens, authors within this geographic sphere can inadvertently reinforce colonial and class hierarchies.

The Artificial Mind: Art and Philosophy after AI

24-25 September 2026

National Gallery of Art

22 Konstitucijos Ave. 

Vilnius, Lithuania

The title “Artificial Mind” references Claude Lévi-Strauss’ The Savage Mind (La Pensée sauvage (1962), a foundational work in anthropology, in which he argues that “savage” and “civilized” thought share the same epistemological architecture – differing not in structure but in mode of operations. While the “civilized” engineer works with purpose-built concepts and tools toward a specific end, the “savage” bricoleur thinks with whatever is at hand, constructing new meanings from fragments.

We invite original book chapter proposals for the upcoming edited volume“Emergence of New World Imagination in the 20th Century Asia:Understanding the Asian Colonial Countries through the Lens of Travelogues, Memoirs, Testimonies and Archival Documents" to be published with an International publishing house. This edited book aims to provide a multidisciplinary platform for advanced doctoral students, researchers, academicians and faculty members to publish their original works with us.

Brief Synopsis :

Mediapolis – International Journal of Humanities, Art and Social Studies y open access online journal, drawing a connection between culture and the built environment – understood in the broadest sense. We publish research in different forms, from research articles to Q&A interviews and readings list, and across different academic fields, including but not limited to media studies, urban studies, geography, architecture and art history as well as digital humanities. 

In this CFP, we are looking for essays that take up the issues of the Speculative Genre (you can interpret this in many ways, though the sciences, technologies, and alternative social structures are usually instrumental in these realms) as it is manifest in the literary production of the Czechs and Slovaks, whether this was during the 1800s or it is a current manifestation.

We are interested in review essays, literary scholarship, and in translations of original works from Czech or Slovak.

You can submit essays and reviews for consideration here: https://astralcourier.subfolios.com/submit/578/essays-reviews

As the section editor for The Queer Experience, I invite you to submit a chapter proposal for consideration to be included in The American Research Handbook on Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, an edited scholarly volume that examines the evolving role of diversity, equity, and inclusion within American democracy and educational institutions.

The Queer Experience Section Seeks:

• Well-researched and evidence-based analyses that examine gender identity, sexuality, intersectionality, and/or the evolving role(s) of queer people in society at the present moment.

The twenty-first century has seen a world-wide immigration crisis to which Children and YA authors have responded with a wonderful explosion of literature capturing immigrant  and refugee experiences. From picture books to YA novels, authors present stories about immigrants from South America, the Caribbean,  Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and Europe. Each author explores the reasons for leaving “Home” (politics, economics, religious oppression, adoption, etc.) and youths’ experiences adjusting in their new “homes.”  These writers present readers with stories concerning the joys and sorrows that immigrants experience, challenge dehumanization, and deepen reader empathy. 

Occulture as Method Symposium

This panel examines how Germans have claimed, imagined, and narrated the Pacific from the nineteenth century to the present. From the colonial administration of Samoa, New Guinea, and Micronesia to missionary encounters, ethnographic expeditions, settler migration along the Pacific coast, and contemporary literary reckonings with colonial pasts, German engagements with the Pacific raise questions about imperial ambition, cultural fantasy, and the politics of memory.

We invite chapter proposals for an edited collection of essays based upon our split-panel session, Adventures in Ecocriticism, at SAMLA 97. We plan to propose this collection for the Bloomsbury Ecocritical Theory and Practice Series, at the encouragement of the series editor, Douglas Vakoch.

This panel explores archives beyond the traditional frame and instead as embodied spaces of cultural memory and histories inscribed on skin. Building upon Hortense Spillers’ important essay Mama’s Baby, Papa’s Maybe (1987), we seek papers from humanities scholars in the French and Francophone worlds that reframe the body not as a passive victim but as a living text, a site of memory, and an alternative space that rescripts official records. By retracing histories through the reading of the body, we can activate affect, unleash unexpected memories, and create generative spaces for art that centres on cultural knowledge to empower communities.

CFP: Special Issue of The Australasian Journal of Popular Culture (15.2 2026) on K-Pop, deadline 15th June 2026.

Postgraduate English, Durham University’s online peer-reviewed literary journal, has been publishing postgraduate research biannually since the year 2000 and is one of the longest-running online postgraduate literary journals in the world. In recent years the journal has received reprint requests from academic publishers.

The journal aims to provide a space for postgraduate students and early-career researchers (including those currently institutionally unaffiliated) to showcase their work and receive feedback from established academics. While the journal is based in the UK, we seek to cultivate an international range of contributors and judge submissions primarily for strength of argument and fresh insight over a fixed writing style.
