Essays are invited for a special issue of CR: The New Centennial Review, that consider the relation of comedy and theory, especially in relation to the contemporary phenomenon of stand-up comedy.
The Humanities Review seeks to analyze the ways in which disparate dialectical poles (such as Nature and Culture) are mediated, and in which disparate fields of knowledge conjoin.
To this end, we are seeking scholarly articles that examine the way supposed distinctions are constructed and maintained between authentically linked, contiguous, or identical concepts; the consequences of such distinctions; and the implications of their removal.
In a similar and related vein, we are interested in cross-pollination between academic fields which are capable of illuminating both the strengths and oversights of one or both disciplines and shedding new light on new or stagnating issues.
Since the Cold War, the West has undergone significant changes in its perception of the future, from Fukuyama's "End of History" to DeLillo's "In the Ruins of the Future." For instance, after 9/11, the eminent SF writer William Gibson published his first book NOT set in the future. When asked about the choice, he remarked, "I may not be done with the future but I have to figure out what it means to try to write about the future at a time when we are all living in the shadow of at least half a dozen wildly science fiction scenarios."
CFP: Kubrick and Adaptation. Deadline: 1 December 2014
Proposals are invited for a special issue (late 2015) of Adaptation journal (OUP) on Stanley Kubrick and any aspect of adaptation. We are looking for 6-8 articles that, rather than evaluative novel-to-film comparisons, offer original perspectives on Kubrick in relation to adaptation, intertextuality, and appropriation.
Contact Ian Hunter either at iqhunter@dmu.ac.uk if you are interested in submitting. The deadline for complete 6 - 7000 word articles, which will then undergo full peer-review, is 1 December 2014.
