updated:

Pacific Ancient and Modern Language Association
deadline for submissions: 
Saturday, June 15, 2024

This session will explore various representations of neurodivergence (autism, ADHD, personality disorders, anxiety, and depression, etc.) in literature, film, and rhetorical narratives. We are interested in proposals where depictions of neurodivergence are demystified, challenged, or elaborated upon: these discussions can explore uplifting, renewed, and positive depictions of neurodivergence, as well as discourses on problematized and stereotypical depictions. We ask that you highlight the strengths, setbacks, and possibilities associated with neurodivergence as depicted in literature, film, and other media.

Some examples of topics of interest include:

· Ableism and discrimination

Rachel L. Carazo
deadline for submissions: 
Saturday, November 30, 2024

This call for papers seeks two specific chapters on Medusa for a volume intended for the series, Villains and Creatures.

Each chapter of the volume is intended to be an overview of depictions of Medusa in specific kinds of media; nevertheless, the arguments/theses of each chapter should still be original, using past works and research to develop a current (new) perspective on Medusa.

The chapters needed include one on Ancient Drama and another on Modern Drama.

Chapters will be due in May 2025. Chapters should be approximately 5,000 to 7,000 words, with Chicago-style endnotes and a bibliography page.
