The history of "rights" as a concept is mired in complications. Regarded as the moral or legal recognition of interests or entitlements of individuals and communities, rights have been present in history in a variety of ways - both justiciable and not. This history of rights, and the securing of rights, is long and arduous, and has taken various forms along the way - with sudden victories and abrupt revocations all the same - resulting in the present that we find ourselves in now.

Gothic writers embrace the genre for its inclusive and representational nature. The genre is, in effect, a palimpsest as it prominently features both the past and memory. The creators in the genre continue to create plots that center on women, queer, transgender, and racialized characters and create stories that address societal inequalities. The environment (the Ecogothic) also continues to be a prominent character in the genre.

This is a limited and urgent call for chapters in the Art Volume (part of the Routledge series Oceans, Seas, and Shorelines: Cultural, Environmental, and Natural Histories).

The volume is currently under contract with Routledge.

Mapping Body Space Continuum in Urbanscapes

updated: 
Thursday, May 8, 2025 - 1:49am
Language, Literature, and Interdisciplinary Studies
deadline for submissions: 
Sunday, May 18, 2025

Space is not defined objectively, but in relation to bodies, as it is a manifestation of their needs, intentions, and desires. It is not a container in which objects exist but is intertwined with the body’s orientation in the world and its movements within the space. Human body, therefore, is at the centre of all spaces, which are more than a geometrical concept in abstraction. Individual bodies apprehend and appropriate space differently and give meaning to embedded systems and institutions through established and evolving associations. Any assumption of personalised space, whether private or public, is embedded with historical, cultural, and social meanings which help curate embodied experiences.

The Problem of Social Justice: Global Perspectives and Personal Narratives

updated: 
Thursday, May 8, 2025 - 1:49am

deadline for submissions: 
Sunday, May 18, 2025

Social justice is the virtue which guides us in creating those organized human interactions we call institutions. In turn, social institutions, when justly organized, provide us with access to what is good for the person, both individually and in our associations with others. Social justice also imposes on each of us a personal responsibility to work with others to design and continually perfect our institutions as tools for personal and social development.

Aesthetics of Fluidity

deadline for submissions: 
Friday, June 6, 2025

Fluidity is a complex state of being in the world that exists in the realm of the aesthetic. To be fluid means to be continuously shifting and morphing, calling attention to embodiment and its materiality in relation to spaces and each other. As an identitarian characteristic, fluidity challenges the spatio-temporal logics that impose rigid taxonomy through the hetero-patriarchy and, instead, offers resistance. As a spatial condition, fluidity may offer malleable or blurry boundaries to help form alternative ways of being and connecting in the world. As a process, fluidity means to reimagine bodies and spaces as watery.

Call for Papers: Variations 28 – Environment, Science, Memory

The balsam fir tree also remembers. If caterpillars or moose browse its needles, the nibbling assault lodges itself in the chemical makeup of the tree, in a manner analogous to the changes in a chickadee’s nerve cells after a near miss with a predator. The tree’s subsequent growth is more heavily defended by unpalatable resins, like a bird turned jumpy by its bad experience with a hawk. The fir also remembers air temperatures dating back nearly a year, a memory that helps the tree to know when to winterize its cells. […]

Roots and twigs have memories of light, gravity, heat, and minerals. (Haskell 2017: 37)

In Blue Ecocriticism, Sydney I. Dobrin provocatively calls for viewing “oceanic deficit” as form of “disciplinary critique” (9) in order to open up the epistemic realm of ecocriticism which primarily deals with the representation of ecological substance in literary and cultural works.
