interdisciplinary

Throughout its consolidation as an academic discipline, museum studies have tended to gravitate around major national and international museums, their emblematic collections, and the management models they have established as standards. These institutions, mostly located in urban centers and supported by solid structures of funding, research, and public outreach, have shaped a “canon” that has influenced not only academic agendas but also collective imaginaries about what a museum is (and what it should be).

Over the past decade, and with heightened urgency in the post-Covid period, fashion has undergone a profound digital realignment. No longer confined to discrete tools or isolated innovations, digitalisation has become a structuring condition of contemporary fashion practice. From 3D modeling suites and configurators to generative AI for modeling and product development, digital twins of avatars and garments for production and archival purposes, virtual showrooms, digital fashion for gaming, and platform-based retail infrastructures, digital technologies mediate the conception, production, circulation, and experience of garments.

FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS

“When shall we three meet again?
In thunder, lightning, or in rain?”

(Shakespeare, Macbeth, 1.1: 1-2)

In the last fifteen years, a new generation of African female and nonbinary authors have made major interventions in the field of African Literatures, from Akwaeke Emezi to NoViolet Bulawayo, Djaïli Amadou Amal to Kopano Matlwa. In parallel, women writers from earlier generations, such as Tsitsi Dangarembga (winner of a Windham-Campbell Literature Prize in 2021), Paulina Chiziane or Ana Paula Tavares (who were both awarded with the Camões Prize in 2021 and 2025 respectively) have received major literary distinctions, celebrating their contributions to African postcolonial literatures in particular, and literature in general.

The Association for the Study of Law, Culture, and the Humanities (LCH) is accepting submissions for the 2026 Julien Mezey Dissertation Award. This annual prize is awarded to the dissertation that most promises to enrich and advance interdisciplinary scholarship at the intersection of law, culture, and the humanities.
