Issue VI: Unthemed Issue
Deadline for abstracts and pitches: 25th July 2026
‘You cannot adapt to extinction’. —Vanessa Nakate
‘The development of ecocriticism itself can been read as a type of Gothic story. If imagined figuratively as if it were a horror film, the field of ecocriticism is at a point where it is confronting the monster that has been hidden in the basement’. —Tom J. Hillard

The foundations of Latin American animation are often traced, building on historical and biographical accounts by Giannalberto Bendazzi, to a single figure and place: Quirino Cristiani in Argentina, creator and director of the world’s first animated feature film El Apóstol, (1917). The current state of Latin American animation, however, resists such singularity. Today, Latin American animation unfolds as a dynamic, if asymmetrical, constellation of production and distribution practices across local studios, transnational co-productions, diasporic labor, commercial projects, festival circuits, and global streaming platforms.

Actors, Acting, and Activism: Performing Eugene O’Neill’s Plays
Mike Flanagan has emerged over the past fifteen years as one of the most prolific and recognizable horror creators in film and television, working across low-budget independent cinema, studio-backed films, and prestige limited series. Yet despite his prominence, versatility, and authorial trademarks, especially his collaborations with recurring actors and other artistic partners, he has received little sustained scholarly attention.
The annual graduate student conference organized by the Division of Cinema and Media Studies at the University of Southern California is now accepting applications. Submission deadline is June 1, 2026.
This year’s conference invites proposals that engage broadly with the theme, Delirium.
It will take place on October 23–24, 2026, at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, with Professor Eugenie Brinkema joining for the Keynote.
We welcome submissions from a wide range of disciplines and methodological approaches, including creative works.
2027 marks the 50th anniversary of the film now generally known as Episode IV: A New Hope, the first instalment in the hugely successful Star Wars franchise created by George Lucas. As beloved as it is divisive, Star Wars now straddles multiple decades and generations while proliferating across narrative media (novels, comics, games, animation, TV). It provides a series of compelling case studies in the relationship between creativity and commerce, from the foundation of Lucasfilm during the New Hollywood period to the 21st century Disney-era, and it has developed via a complex interplay between cutting-edge technological innovation, nostalgia, and mythmaking.
SPECTATOR 47.1 — SPEED - CALL FOR PAPERS/BOOK REVIEWS
DIVISION OF CINEMA AND MEDIA STUDIES

Spectator is seeking papers and reviews for issue 47.1, Speed, themed around USC’s 2025 First Forum Conference on the same topic organized by Minji Kim and Tanushree Sharma. Their call for submissions on this theme is copied below:
The contemporary moment is often thought of synonymously with the idea of speed. The 20th
and 21st centuries were marked by rapidly ascending rates of movement: the movement of
"Let Us Tell An Old Story Anew": Revising / Reinventing / Reimagining Disney
Disney’s Maleficent (2014), a live-action retelling of their animated classic, Sleeping Beauty (1957), begins with a narrator challenging us to re-see the stories we’ve been told before. The entire movie, in fact, revolves around correcting past perceptions, ones that Disney originally shaped and is now choosing to reshape. Maleficent is just one example of a spate of live-action remakes and other ways Disney has reimagined itself in the twenty-first century. Such reimaginings invite research into how and why Disney feels the need to make us see them anew.
We invite proposals for a small number of additional chapters for an edited volume on animal adaptations, edited by Justyna Włodarczyk (University of Warsaw) and Michael Fuchs (University of Innsbruck).

Spring 2026 'Theory Today' Workshop w. Prof. Eugenie Brinkema.
Eugenie Brinkema’s research in film and critical theory focuses on violence, affect, sexuality, aesthetics, and ethics in texts ranging from the horror film to gonzo pornography, from the body of films dubbed “New European Extremism” to works of literature and continental philosophy. She is the author of The Forms of Affect (2014) and Life-Destroying Diagrams (2022), among many other essays and articles.

In our current postdigital condition, digital technology is so deeply embedded in everyday life that the distinction between technical and natural is becoming increasingly blurred and images have become mere byproducts of our embodied co-existence with digital media. At the same time, we see that visual forms are continuously rendered obsolete by the rapidly evolving algorithmic processes. In new media, we are no longer even looking at “the image” any more, but rather always only at a version of an image that can be infinitely modified. Cameras are regularly used to connect the eye and the machine in a way that serves no aesthetic goal, creating purely “operational images” (Harun Farocki).
We’re delighted to announce a new online event to mark Dickens’s passing. On this occasion, our theme does not dwell on the Inimitable’s death, but focuses instead on his ever-expanding life on the big and small screen. Dickens was first adapted for silent cinema in 1901, and since then his work has appeared countless times on film and television. Since Dickens’s Bicentenary in 2012, a number of significant screen adaptations have appeared, including Armando Iannucci’s Personal History of David Copperfield (2019), Steven Knight’s Great Expectations (2023), two Artful Dodger character adaptations, and multiple versions of A Christmas Carol.
