ReFocus: The International Directors Series, published by Edinburgh University Press invites scholars, researchers, and practitioners to submit papers for a title dedicated to the influential works of Dariush Mehrjui (1939-2023), a seminal figure in Iranian cinema. Known for his profound impact on the New Wave of Iranian cinema, Mehrjui’s films blend social commentary, philosophical inquiry, and aesthetic innovation. This title aims to explore the multifaceted dimensions of Mehrjui’s oeuvre, examining his contributions to film art and his role in shaping Iranian and global cinema.

Topics of Interest

Eco-environmental criticism has now become a staple presence in the interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary landscape, calling for ongoing reflections on the human impact on the environment. A distinct aspect of these conversations has been the growing focus on the concern of ecological destruction for the planet, with all the inevitable consequences that this entails.  Within changing contexts that feel increasingly more precarious, conceptualisations of the ‘eco-futures’ have become central to our cultural discourses,  from film to television series, from literature to comics, from animation and video games to digital narratives, from architecture to design, from socio-ecology to animal studies.
