The Belvedere Research Journal (BRJ), a peer-reviewed, open-access e-journal, invites new submissions. We are interested in articles that shed light on the visual culture of the former Habsburg Empire and Central Europe broadly defined from the medieval period to the present. Contributions that position Austrian art practices within a wider international framework are particularly welcome. We value innovative art historical approaches, such as challenging established narratives or exploring transnational exchanges that highlight the interconnected and cross-cultural nature of the art world.
Scholarly Collection: Call for Contributors
Working Title: Calling it by its Name: Analyses of White U.S. Literature
This proposal is for the Palgrave Studies in Global Literatures and Religion Series, edited by Heather Ostman and devoted to the literary examination of religion. The series intends to look into how literature has depicted and transformed the role of religion and divinity. However, this proposed book aims to contribute to the series by looking at how literary texts engage with religious ideology and their implications for surveillance.
This ACLA 2025 virtual seminar convenes scholars working in philosophy and literature, broadly construed. It harnesses the frisson between global modernist literature and global philosophies of mind. Seemingly remote from reality, how might the philosophy of mind illuminate the modern global metropolis? Do idealist theories of reality—German, French, or Indian—have a place in accounts of modernity that are so often dominated by Marxian materialism? How might philosophy reconcile, or extricate us from, the impasse between singular and multiple theories of modernity? How does non-European philosophy complicate our extant understanding of this concept?
Abstract:
What role do the genres autoethnography and/or memoir play in the revolution and evolution of Black women in the academy? How can they help instigate radical change and encourage sustainable practices for Black women who seek to thrive in higher education?
In a roundtable format, "Write Smack In the Middle: Black Women, Autoethnography, Memoir, and the Academy" will shift the conversation from studying others to reflecting on oneself. This interactive session aims to create an intentional space for Black women who serve in academia to reflect and center on their daily experiences in their own words.

Authors mean different things at different times and in different contexts. For example, the authoritative Oxford English Dictionary conceives it as ‘[a] writer, and senses relating to literature’ and ‘[a] creator, cause, or source’. In 2004, Andrew Bennett suggested that ‘questioning the nature of authorship’ can be a hallmark of crises and turning points in literature.

Williams Wells Brown: A Man of Letters
From the Indian boarding schools of North America to the English curriculum mandate of the British empire, formal education, and the various guises it assumed, was an important instrument for colonial powers to exert dominance over its colonized subjects. The afterlives of such an education continue today through dominant knowledge systems that benefit the few at the expense of the many. This panel seeks papers that aim to disentangle and liberate education from colonial control, so that education can be a vehicle for vital knowledge production and empowerment.
