New World Critical Theory on the Occasion of the Centenary of Frankfurt School Critical Theory 4-
5 December, 2023
Could the normative constructionist approach of critical theory as argued by the Frankfurt School
– which marks its one hundred years in 2023 – be enriched by accommodating other world views
which believe in more empirical, immanentist, and polyphonic methodologies? Could critical theory
itself, in the spirit of the Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s Weltliteratur project, be elevated to, or even

CALL FOR PAPERS FRAME 37.1 “Get Lit: A Celebration Issue”
What cultural objects and phenomena are designated to be ugly, bad, unacceptable, and monstrous, especially in relation to gender, sexuality, disability, race, class, and caste? Whose histories are marginalized or overlooked because of their perceived bad taste, abject existence, and the taint they leave on supposedly beautiful, grand narratives of nationhood, well-being, or progress? How do kitsch, camp, and excess function in the realms of activism in contemporary politics? How do nasty, revulsive art, literature, and performances act as sites that engender questions that push boundaries of societal mores and cultural hierarchies?

Dr. Nick Walker (2021) activates “neuroqueering” in her book Neuroqueer Heresies as “intentional noncompliance with the demands of normative performance” (p. 3). Inherently, the verb of neuroqueer resists the classification of neurotypical and heteronormative classification within our binary and colonized society. Queer, decolonization and story as verbs demand active participation in declassifying Euro-American definitions of what is normal and expected of us, our fields and our participation and compliance with(in) them. Hence, it is urgent that we not only discuss, but make intentional action of declassifying the borders and boundaries between identity, nation and embodiment.
I am currently putting together the 2024 programme (January – June) of online talks for Romancing the Gothic: an online programme of talks on subjects related to horror, folklore, the supernatural, and more. We welcome talks from all disciplines and are particularly interested in showcasing the work of international scholars from around the world.
We hold talks every week at the weekend and run each talk twice (time zones permitting!) to make sure as many people from as many time-zones as possible can join us. You can find examples of previous talks here - https://romancingthegothic.com/class-schedules/
The Lonely Londoners (1956); Things Fall Apart (1958); Wide Sargasso Sea (1967); Midnight’s Children (1981); A Small Place (1988); The God of Small Things (1997); Half of a Yellow Sun (2006)...
Reproductive justice was developed as an international human-rights framework by activists and scholars in the 1990s and has become a cornerstone of intersectional feminist theory and practice within social sciences. Yet, it is only recently that researchers in arts and humanities have begun to tap the rich interdisciplinary potential this framework offers for bringing together reproductive rights, social justice, and cultural representation. In a contemporary moment shaken by ecological and economic crises, rises in far-right nationalisms across the globe, and the rolling back of hard-fought sexual rights in the USA, attention to questions of reproductive justice across the disciplinary spectrum is more urgent than ever.

CFP: The Global South (Journal): “Toxic Ecologies of the Global South”—Deadline December 31st, 2023
Shouldn’t the World Bank be encouraging more migration of the dirty industries to the LDCs (less developed countries)? … I think the economic logic behind dumping a load of toxic waste in the lowest wage country is impeccable and we should face up to that… I’ve always thought that under-populated countries in Africa are vastly under-polluted. (Lawrence Summers, chief economic advisor to the IMF, 1991).
