CFP: Shoreline Shakespeares:
6th Conference of the Asian Shakespeare Association (Iloilo, 4-6 December 2024)

A shoreline is a dynamic border, being created, erased, and reshaped by the eternal dance of tide and time. It separates yet connects ecosystems, identities, and civilizations. Shorelines set boundaries but also open gateways to different experiences and perspectives. The shoreline serves as a focal point for exploration, transition, and adaptation. “Shoreline Shakespeares” welcomes papers that examine the literal and metaphorical meanings of the shoreline in Shakespeare and his afterlife. Topics may include, but are not restricted to:

The U.S. South is often a forgotten space within ecocritical discussions, yet it provides fruitful ground for thinking about environmental issues. In 2019, in the first edited collection of essays on the topic, Zachary Vernon notes that focusing attention on this bioregion might help “provide a way out of the limitations of thinking too locally or too globally,” and it might inspire a group of stakeholders to come to the table as well (7). One problem with ecocritical approaches is the long history of representing the U.S. South as an “internal other in the national imagination: colonized, subordinate, primitive, developmentally arrested, or even regressive” (Watson 254).

The Editors of Vestron Horror Films are looking for four additional chapters about films not taken yet for other contributors. We want to produce a book with analysis on most of Vestron horror’s catalogue and, thus, we need chapters on:

-Communion (Philippe Mora, 1989)

-Amsterdamned (Dick Mass, 1989)

-Dolls (Stuart Gordon, 1986)

-Gothic (Ken Russell, 1986)

-Chopping Mall (Jim Wynorski, 1986)

-The Company of Wolves (Neil Jordan 1984)

-The Gate (Tibor Takács,1987)

-Revenge of the Living Dead Part 3 (Brian Yuzna, 1993), 

-Blue Steel (Kathryn Bigelow, 1990)

2027 would mark 80 years of the Partition of the Indian subcontinent of 1947. For South Asia, independence from over two centuries of British rule in 1947 was accompanied by a violent and bloody partition - a territorial division of two provinces of British India, Punjab and Bengal  - on the basis of religious majority, which led to a million people dead in bloody communal riots and fifteen million people uprooted and displaced across the newly-formed borders.
