Journal of Perpetrator Research Special Issue: Complicit Testimonies
The Journal of Perpetrator Research is seeking submissions for a special issue on the theme of Complicit Testimonies, scheduled for publication in Spring 2025, and guest-edited by Ivan Stacy (Beijing Normal University).
Introduction
The deadline for submissions to Ink and Imagination has been extended to January 8th, 2024.
The Graduate Comics Organization (GCO) at the University of Florida now invites proposals to our 20th annual conference: "Ink and Imagination: Exploring Children's Comics." The conference will be held April 5-7, 2024. We welcome applicants from all stages of their careers to submit papers addressing any aspect of the conference topic. Independent scholars, as well as creative and community practitioners, are especially encouraged to apply.
We find ourselves in a landscape of failure. We have failed to reach every climate goal we have set, and there is no returning to an unpolluted world. Institutions have failed their workers, resulting in a resurgence of industrial action and defiance. On the international stage, governments have failed migrants and refugees, leading to unprecedented levels of displacement.
Can something productive be drawn from failing? How have past failures – of revolution, of technology, of selfhood – been put to constructive ends? And how might failure be mobilised as a new site of resistance?
With 2017’s Get Out, Jordan Peele burst out of the confines of sketch comedy and announced himself as one of the most original voices in contemporary cinema. Part and parcel of Peele’s success was his undeniable mastery of–and facility with–generic conventions. Get Out has been ascribed a range of genre labels, from psychological thriller to political horror, black comedy to sci-fi, zombie movie to horror verité. Peele himself has added fuel to the fire by musing that his film is a “social thriller” and a “documentary” that “subverts the idea of all genres.” Since the success of his first film, Peele has released a pair of even more generically ambitious and ambiguous films: Us (2019) and Nope (2022).
Proposals on any aspect of men, men’s studies, and/or masculinities are welcome; however, the following topics are of particular interest:
“Modern?” CFP
Saint Louis University—Madrid, June 7-8, 2024
The OED defines “modern” as “being in existence at this time; current, present,” but also as something that is “opposed to the remote past.” Given that the concepts of “past,” “present” and “future” are not fixed, but, to paraphrase Einstein, illusory, the meaning of “modern” itself is hard to pin down.
LITERATURE AND ECOLOGY
Concept Note
We are looking for new chapters for our first year composition textbook Digitally Mediated Composing and You: A Beginners Guide to Understanding Rhetoric and Writing in an Interconnected World
We are looking for writers to contribute four new chapters in Digitally Mediated Composing and You. Because these chapters are filling gaps in an existing text, the topic and direction of each chapter is predetermined, as is the format, but each chapter should be written in the unique voice of the author, and there is a lot of room for experimentation and play within the format!
As countries of the Global North continue to reshape their immigration policies to tighten the
legal/illegal movement of Global Southerners into and through their borders, globalization
announces itself as doubly edged, having positive economic benefits and undesirable
consequences on both sides of the global divide. Yet, with the twentieth-century surge in
migration, a noticeable trend in African migrant fiction like Mbue’s How Beautiful We Were and
Indian diasporic novels, such as Sahota’s The Year of the Runaways, including films like Amata’s
Black November, is that while much of global migration remains north-directed, with the Global
