deadline for submissions: 
Friday, December 22, 2023

The No Limit Reader draws inspiration from the entrepreneurial spirit of Percy Miller’s No Limit Records, but it also recognizes the cultural influence of Louisiana and its musical traditions that extend well beyond the borders of New Orleans. The collection also capitalizes on the rich cultural history of New Orleans and its recent musical resurgence as seen in Juvenile’s Tiny Desk concert for NPR, Master P’s performance at the BET Awards, and Beyoncé’s continued references to her Louisiana roots (i.e. “My Daddy Alabama, Mama Louisiana; You mix that Negro with that Creole, make a Texas bama” ).

[Call for Chapters] “Problematic” Punk: NOFX's Forty Years of Punk Provocations

updated: 
Thursday, October 26, 2023 - 1:11pm
Ellen Bernhard, Stefano Morello, David Pearson
deadline for submissions: 
Monday, January 1, 2024

For forty years, NOFX’s brand of (depending who you ask) witty, offensive, humorous, juvenile, intelligent, existential, political, anti-PC, and/or philosophically probing punk has reared several generations in punk attitude and ethos, for better or worse (again, depending who you ask). The band got its start in the early-1980s Los Angeles punk scene, was among the pioneers of the melodic yet hardcore So-Cal punk style, rode the wave of 1990s punk popularity without signing to a major record label, took a political turn during the Bush era, and continued their punk provocations until retiring in 2023.

updated: 
Wednesday, October 18, 2023 - 1:33pm
The School of English and Drama at Queen Mary University of London
deadline for submissions: 
Friday, December 1, 2023

We find ourselves in a landscape of failure. We have failed to reach every climate goal we have set, and there is no returning to an unpolluted world. Institutions have failed their workers, resulting in a resurgence of industrial action and defiance. On the international stage, governments have failed migrants and refugees, leading to unprecedented levels of displacement. 

 

Can something productive be drawn from failing? How have past failures – of revolution, of technology, of selfhood – been put to constructive ends? And how might failure be mobilised as a new site of resistance?

 

Jordan Peele's Generic Renovations

updated: 
Wednesday, October 18, 2023 - 1:33pm
ACCUTE, Congress 2024
deadline for submissions: 
Friday, November 17, 2023

With 2017’s Get Out, Jordan Peele burst out of the confines of sketch comedy and announced himself as one of the most original voices in contemporary cinema. Part and parcel of Peele’s success was his undeniable mastery of–and facility with–generic conventions. Get Out has been ascribed a range of genre labels, from psychological thriller to political horror, black comedy to sci-fi, zombie movie to horror verité. Peele himself has added fuel to the fire by musing that his film is a “social thriller” and a “documentary” that “subverts the idea of all genres.” Since the success of his first film, Peele has released a pair of even more generically ambitious and ambiguous films: Us (2019) and Nope (2022).
