In an age marked with conflict and strife, humanity is still searching for solutions to oppression and marginalization. In order to better understand the factors leading to these problems, Kimberlé Crenshaw first introduced the term “intersectionality” in 1989 to explain how a person’s intersecting identities such as gender, race, ethnicity, sexuality, age, ability, nationality and religion affect their access to opportunities and privileges. In literary and linguistic studies, intersectionality is used as a framework of analysis that helps scholars examine how these factors fuel various issues, ranging from health inequity to climate change and how they are expressed, negotiated and at times resolved through texts.

           The vibe shift among the Democratic base since President Biden announced he would not seek reelection has been remarkable: apathy and anxiety have morphed into enthusiasm and a newfound pugnacious spirit. Stumping for Vice-President Kamala Harris, Minnesota governor Tim Walz, Harris’ vice-presidential pick, launched the verbal missile which has revitalized the campaign’s messaging and sought to define Republicans in succinct, yet devastating terms: they’re weird.

Double Helix invites submissions of research articles, reports from the field, experimental essays, scholarly notes, and book reviews on critical thinking and writing pedagogy. October 15 is the recommended deadline for work to be considered for Volume 12 (2024).

Call for Proposals for Online Symposium: Crude Representations: BP and the Cultural Imagination of Oil

Online Symposium Friday 24th January 2025

Keynote Speaker: Mona Damluji, Assistant Professor of Film & Media Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara

Oil is a cultural as well as material product. It is now pervasive in every aspect of modern life: transport, energy, communications and media, pharmaceuticals, farming, food ingredients and packaging, homes. As many scholars in the energy and environmental humanities have demonstrated, to understand our current dependence on oil and enact decarbonisation we need to contend with its cultural dimensions.

"Suble Modernist Revolutions: 1925 as Annus Mirablis" invites abstract submissions for our panel at NeMLA 2025 (March 6-9, Philadelphia). A centennial has passed since 1925, a watershed year of subtle Modernist revolution. If we look to 1925 as a year of subtle Modernist revolution, where Modernist literature found its footing as a revolutionary art movement, what symbols, patterns, or commentaries emerge through the exercise of Modernist techniques? Moreover, where has this revolutionary movement engendered revolutions–the cycling and recycling of certain formal interventions? What writing practices still echo through contemporary literature today and what are their implications?

Scholars of postmodern philosophy have developed a notion that “narration constitutes an act of forming identity further and suggests that a human being needs a life story in order to develop fully as a person” (Meyers 2018). Postmodern literature challenges traditional narrative conventions by embracing a more fragmented, non-linear, and self-referential narrative style (Zaidi & Khurram (2020). This shift can be viewed as a revolutionary dissent against modernism's emphasis on coherence and narrative closure or evolving narrative forms to reflect changing temporal experiences.
