Felicity A. Nussbaum suggests that we need to formulate new critical framings about the widened eighteenth century as well as a long one. In what ways can we widen the breadth, scale, and scope of eighteenth-century studies from a global and planetary perspective? How might we come up with ways to think about the interconnectivity among ideas, cultures, and texts that “move” beyond the boundaries of the metrapole and the margin, near and distant?

The Semiotics of Animation. From TraditionalForms to Contemporary Innovations
Special issue of Punctum. International Journal of Semiotics 10:1 (2024)
GUEST EDITORS: Maria Ilia Katsaridou & Loukia Kostopoulou
The study of animation as a semiotic system has gained significant scholarly attention
in recent years. From traditional hand-drawn animation to contemporary computergenerated
imagery (CGI) and experimental forms, animation has become a dynamic
field that offers valuable insights into how meaning is constructed and communicated.
Animation as a medium of communication relies on the manipulation of movement
Over the last number of years, Indian classical dance traditions have seen major shifts in terms of practice, pedagogy, and performance, both ‘at home’ in India and in diaspora contexts. These changes have been intensified most recently by two primary and co-related phenomena; the global adoption of specific algorithmic social media and streaming platforms, and lockdown restrictions imposed in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. What happens to the embodied physical presence on virtual platforms? How has the format of the art form been modified to fit in digital spaces? What do these transformations mean for the future of the dance forms? How are socio-political issues embedded and addressed in such spaces?

Fantastical Constellations After Magical Realism research group (formerly known as Post-Magical Realist Worlds research group) of the Canadian Comparative Literature Association (CCLA) invites submissions to our session in the coming CCLA 2024 conference at the Canadian Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences.
The editors of this important volume are putting together a collection of essays on Dark (2017-2020) for publication which is currently entitled Dark Reflections. Created by Baran bo Odar and Jantje Friese, Netflix's groundbreaking German original series, Dark, premiered in 2017, and spanned three thought-provoking seasons. Set in the small town of Winden, the series revolves around the mysterious disappearance of a child and the subsequent unraveling of family secrets spanning several generations. As the story unfolds, intricate time loops and paradoxes emerge, propelling the characters into a tangled web of interconnected destinies.

Concept Note
The Righteous Gemstones is a dark comedy about a world-famous megachurch pastor; his three children, who assist with the ministry; and various associates, extended family members, and antagonists. Each season (2019, 2022, 2023) is self-contained and intricately structured, inviting scene by scene and even frame by frame analysis. Typically the family faces two interconnected outside threats; parallel father-son crises featuring patriarch Eli, his eldest son, and his grandchildren; parallel relationship crises involving the other children and their partners; and a disruptive force.

ECOLOGY AND INTEGRATIVE DISCOURSE: A REFLECTIVE ANALYSIS
CONCEPT NOTE
The word eco comes from the Greek word oikos, which etymologically implies household or earth and logy from logos implies rational discourse. Together they mean criticism of the house- the earth as represented in writing. It is therefore defined in general, as the study of literature and the physical environment put together. However, in larger context, it incorporates numerous variants of human life.
