Our goal is to bring together multi-disciplinary perspectives to examine parks across time and space, across fact and fiction.

Forum for Contemporary Issues in Language and Literature (e-ISSN: 2719-8111) is an international multidisciplinary periodical that welcomes for review any innovative and challenging research article encroaching upon the fields of literature, linguistics, philosophy and cultural studies.
The editorial board encourages researchers and young scholars to submit their article proposals that comprise with the profile of the journal. The proposals can be sent in English, German, French, Spanish, Catalan and Polish. The manuscript submitted for publication is to be original and unpublished. It should not have been simultaneously submitted for review in any other journal.
In athletics, athletes are often described as ‘throwing down the gauntlet’ when they record a particularly impressive jump, race, throw, indicating a raise in the competition stakes, a nod to their fellow competitors that they are the champion to beat. In the 2001 movie A Knight’s Tale, jousting enthusiasts are depicted like modern day sports fans, with Ulrich’s friends even singing a football chant in the pub.
The song lyric occupies little space in academia, where it is less studied, less appreciated, and perceived as less-than other kinds of writing. Despite music’s ubiquitous cultural presence, the song lyric—as creative work—suffers from what renown songwriter Jimmy Webb calls a “status problem”: songwriters do not enjoy the same standing as writers of other kinds of traditionally studied literature. The most common way that song lyrics have earned scholarly attention is by conflating the form with the poem. Goldstein’s (1969) The Poetry of Rock is one of the first books to attend to lyrics as poetry.

Postcolonial Interventions invites scholarly articles for an OPEN ISSUE to be published in June 2026. As the journal enters its eleventh year, we are hoping to continue critical exploration of emerging voices and recent literary creations while remaining mindful of the various threats associated with older imperial aggressions, re-appearing across the globe, fissures within nation states, multiple forms of exclusionary violence and widening inequality and precarity. The next issue of Postcolonial Interventions seeks to explore such issues and more based on postcolonial experiences across the world.

LORETO COLLEGE, KOLKATA
Call for Book Chapters
Theme: Marginalized Identities: Dimensions, Perspectives and Problems
The Research and Development Cell of Loreto College is pleased to announce a call for chapter contributions for an upcoming book publication. The theme of the proposed volume is:
‘Marginalized Identities: Dimensions, Perspectives and Problems’
This publication aims to present interdisciplinary insights into the lived realities, challenges, and representations of marginalized identities across various contexts.
The Journal of Global Postcolonial Studies publishes interdisciplinary and cross-cultural articles and interviews on literature, history, politics, and art whose focus, settings, or subjects involve colonialism and its aftermath, with an emphasis on the former British Empire.
“We are here to begin to achieve the American Revolution.”
– James Baldwin, Foley Square, 1963
Did Baldwin mean it? Do we, who take him down from the shelf, mean it? What would it mean to pick up the idea again, with or against Baldwin? Is it too late, for America, for revolution, for both? Or is the time now finally ripe?
For the American Studies Association convention in Chicago in 2026, James Baldwin Review invites proposals for a roundtable that takes this starting point as an occasion to leap into the unknown.
Please send abstracts of 250 words to jbr@wustl.edu by February 20, 2026.
James Baldwin ends his “Open Letter to My Sister, Angela Y. Davis” about her imprisonment, the health of the country, and the responsibility of intellectuals, with the assertion that:
If we know, and do nothing, we are worse than the murderers hired in our name. If we know, then we must fight for your life as though it were our own—which it is—and render impassable with our bodies the corridor to the gas chamber. For, if they take you in the morning, they will be coming for us that night.
How might scholarship today render such corridors impassable? What is our responsibility, and what are we willing to risk?

Jason Lives – essays on the Friday the 13th franchise
In 1980, inspired by the success of John Carpenter’s Halloween two years prior, Sean S. Cunningham wanted to create a horror film that would serve as a ‘roller coaster ride’ – that film, Friday the 13th, would launch one of the key horror franchises of the 20th century, comprising twelve films, a TV series, a selection of books, games and merchandise, and the establishment of hockey mask-wearing killer Jason Voorhees as a cultural phenomenon.

The intersection of Rhetoric and Communication continues to attract the interest of many scholars, particularly within the fields of the Humanities and Social Sciences. The scope of analysis is wide-ranging, encompassing literature and culture, language studies and advertising, communication studies and politics, among other domains.
The history of work and labour has long occupied a central place within European social history, offering a key lens through which to examine social relations, hierarchies, forms of power, and economic formations across the longue durée. Rather than approaching work solely as an economic function, historical scholarship has increasingly foregrounded work as a lived social experience –one that has shaped identities, values, and modes of belonging.

Personhood is having a cultural moment. The ambiguous status of agency and rights animates compelling and diverse critical responses: from studies of animals, AI, and fetal protection laws (Kurki and Pietrzykowski, 2017), to Frankenstein as a model for corporate personhood (Atkinson, 2022), to anthropocentric ideas of personhood versus the environment (Rochford, 2024), to studies of “potential people” including chatbots and embryos (Kalantry 2025).
