Hosted by the Irish Association for American Studies
Date: 24th and 25th April 2026
Location: Ulster University, Coleraine Campus, Northern Ireland
Miloš Forman: Between Europe and Hollywood
Symposium organized by the Department of Theatre and Film Studies, Palacký University Olomouc, Czech Republic
Friday, April 24, 2026
Univerzitní 3, Olomouc, Czech Republic
Our conference theme, “All Things Made New: Creation, Re-creation, and Redemption,” aims to explore the multifaceted dimensions of the creative and re-creative acts embedded in our discipline practices and the works we study. As a number of Christian scholars have pointed out, reading and writing literature is one way we can carry out our responsibility to establish a world that pleases and praises God by cultivating its potential. Just as Adam and Eve cultivated the fruits of the Garden of Eden, so are we to cultivate the talents and abilities God has given us in all areas: technology, literature, art, music, science, social and political structures, etc.

CFP: Special Issue on Appalachian Animal Studies
To be published in Spring 2027, co-edited by Drs. Kathryn Kirkpatrick and Jessica Cory
Whether it’s the relationships we have with our animal companions, the meat we (may not) eat, or the countless more-than-human species with whom we share this region, animals are important to our lives and to Appalachian spaces.
Wallace Stevens’s poetry abounds with animals, from the bucks and firecat of “Earthy Anecdote” to the “gold-feathered bird” of “Of Mere Being.” This session invites papers on Stevens’s animals and animal imagery across his oeuvre. How do animals in Stevens’s poems reflect or complicate his sense of human perception, subjectivity, and the environment? In what ways do they trouble distinctions between the human and the nonhuman, the domestic and the wild, the material and the symbolic?
Proposals might consider individual poems or sequences, the wider bestiary of The Collected Poems, or Stevens’s animals in relation to earlier, contemporaneous, or later writers.
Possible topics include but are not limited to:
This is a CFP for an edited collection on Vestron horror.

Slaughter High

Little Monsters
Chopping Mall
The Gate
The Unholy
Chud II: Bud the Chud
Sundown the Vampire in Retreat
A chapter dedicated to thrillers made by Vestron.

CFP “A Vision for Liberating Our Democracy” Conference, February 27–28, 2026
The conference builds on a growing body of research that examines the theological, cultural, and political intersections of democracy, citizenship, and power. Participants will investigate how worldviews and faith traditions have informed concepts of governance, belonging, and personhood from the founding era to the present. The conference will highlight not only the Haudenosaunee Influence on American Democracy but also the historic and present contributions to Democratic thought by Black, Indigenous, and Latine communities, contributions which are often forgotten and ignored.

Special thematic dossier 8.1 | Digital Projections and Screened Identities in US American Culture
Editors: Laura Álvarez Trigo (Universidad de Valladolid) and Anna Marta Marini (Freie Universität Berlin)
Osgood Perkins is emerging as one of the most significant directors of horror in the 21st century. His films are wildly diverse and have elicited an equally wild diversity of response from viewers and critics. Perkins has thought a lot about horror, has frequently spoken about its larger meanings in interviews, and is committed to its centrality as a genre – something he articulates in this 2025 conversation with Interview Magazine:
“Meaning emerges in the encounter — in the relations between bodies, images, and the world,” wrote Vivian Sobchack in her Carnal Thoughts (68); and it is precisely these shifting relations that shape contemporary — digital — American identity. In the digital environment, such relations do not stabilise; they reconfigure themselves, recalibrate, and adjust across platforms, archives, sensors, and interfaces.
The paradigmatic scene in a Western – witnessed in numerous movies, such as High Noon (1952), The Gunfight at the OK Corral (1957), or Tombstone (1993), as well as in classic western novels, such as Louis L’Amour’s The Lonesome Gods (1983) or Larry McMurtry’s Lonesome Dove (1985) – is that of a confrontation between a sheriff and a bandit: it suggests the forces of civilization taking hold on the frontier, even if tentatively, and ultimately a triumph of the order imposed to protect those in need of protection.
