YOUNG ADULT MEDIA ADAPTATIONS, SOCIAL JUSTICE, AND EMPATHETIC AUDIENCES

updated:

Amanda Firestone and Leisa A. Clark
deadline for submissions: 
Sunday, June 25, 2023

(Deadline Extended)

In 2022, about 35.04 million printed books were sold that classified as Young Adult Literature (Curcic 2023). In fact, it’s the fastest growing category since 2018, with almost a 50% increase in sales to date (Curcic 2023). And, if trends hold, the numbers will continue to rise, making the YA category a multibillion dollar opportunity for publishers. It’s also no surprise that media adaptations of popular Young Adult novels have become big business, raking in millions of dollars, skyrocketing actors to celebrity status, and providing another mediated experience for fans to embrace.

Science and Technology in Popular Culture

Northeast Popular Culture Association (NEPCA)
deadline for submissions: 
Tuesday, August 1, 2023

The Science and Technology area of NEPCA encourages proposals for presentations that explore the relation of science and technology (broadly defined) to popular culture and to American culture. We are particularly interested in putting science, technology, culture, and the humanities in conversation with one another. How are science and technology represented in popular culture? How do we use popular culture to understand science and technology? And how do we use science and technology to understand narratives, art, and culture? What do we gain, what do we risk by approaching science and technology from the lens of the humanities, the humanities from the lens of science, by putting these disciplines in conversation with each other?

deadline for submissions: 
Sunday, October 1, 2023

This special edition of Interdisciplinary Humanities will investigate how performance shapes our experience of the humanities. In the four decades since NYU offered the first degree in “Performance Studies,” the advent of the internet and social media has changed the way we study, create, teach, learn, and identify ourselves. Performance forms and platforms have multiplied and facilitated one of the most contentious political cycles in American history, public upheavals demanding social justice, and new thresholds of mis and disinformation. How are these performance platforms shaping our experience and understanding of the world?

Transformative Works and Cultures
deadline for submissions: 
Monday, January 1, 2024

Due in part to well-publicised advancements in generative AI technologies such as GPT-4, there has been a recent explosion of interest in – and hype around – Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies. Whether this hype cycle continues to grow or fades away, AI is anticipated to have significant repercussions for fandom (Lamerichs 2018), and is already inspiring polarised reactions. Fan artists have been candid about using creative AI tools like Midjourney and DALL-E to generate fan art, while fanfiction writers have been using ChatGPT to generate stories and share them online (there are 470 works citing the use of these tools on AO3 and 20 on FanFiction.net at the time of writing).

2 to 3 Chapters Needed: Mythological Equines in Film

updated: 
Wednesday, May 24, 2023 - 1:14am
St. Thomas University
deadline for submissions: 
Friday, June 16, 2023

I am finishing a volume on Mythological Equines in Film (Series: Equine Creations: Imagining Horses in Literature and Film). I am almost finished reviewing all the chapters already submitted, with most already finalized and in the first draft of the full manuscript. However, two chapters were recently withdrawn, so I am looking for 2-3 more essays to round out the film collection. Harry Potter, Legend, and Narnia are well covered. Please send an inquiry about the potential topic to ensure that it has not already been covered.

My aim is to submit the draft of the manuscript by the end of August, so I am looking for chapters that can be written, revised, and completed within this timeframe.
