Dear Colleagues,

Dr. Sarah Richards

Guest Editor

The intersection of childhood with multiple social and political institutions can provide insight into how childhood and children have historically been positioned and how such genealogical positioning continues to inform childhood and the lives of children today. We seek papers that highlight changed and changing ideas about children and childhood not only within formal and informal institutions where childhood is situated such as school and the family, but also in relation to certain themes such as technology, sexuality, migration and war.

CRITICAL CONVERSATIONS IN HORROR STUDIES 

Series editor: Dawn Keetley

Lehigh University Press's book series Critical Conversations in Horror Studies, edited by Dawn Keetley, Professor of English and Film at Lehigh University, is seeking manuscripts in all areas of horror studies, broadly defined.

This call is to solicit chapter proposals for an edited volume of scholarship about Frank Herbert’s Dune saga.

Project description

The aim of the conference is to create a forum for the exchange of experience, to present research findings, and for discussion relating to widely conceived linguistic and cultural issues on local and global levels. Our invitation is especially directed towards modern language specialists, who are particularly concerned with the above-mentioned issues. Due to the wide scope of the conference, we will also be enthusiastically welcoming to our college representatives of other related academic disciplines.  Languages of the conference: English, German, French, Polish (possibly others, depending on the organized panel in a given language).

This special issue of NANO will explore the significance of the recently released third season of the seminal television show, Twin Peaks. Controversial from the outset and divisive to fans and critics alike, the new Twin Peaks (2017) is emerging as perhaps even more radical and important than the original series (1990-1991). The original Twin Peaks is often considered the first cult television show that spawned intensive fan followings in the emergent world of the web, and the immense catalogue of paratexts and influences the series has inspired since has never been fully tabulated. As a central work of American surrealism, a universe of oddities continues to find Twin Peaks’s orbit.

Apollon intends to publish superior examples of undergraduate humanities research from a variety of disciplines as well as intellectual approaches.
