The Animal In The Anthropocene: Narratives Of Non-Human Survival
deadline for submissions: 
Friday, November 22, 2024

Within Cli-Fi, Anthropocene Literature, Speculative Futurism, and visual cultures of the Anthropocene, increasing attention and sympathy have been given to the non-humans in narratives of climate crisis. From films like 20th Century Fox’s Planet of the Apes reboot to texts such as Ted Chaing’s Parrots of The Great Silence, The Strange Bird of Jeff VanderMeer’s same-named Novella, and the Elk-Headed Woman of Stephen Graham Jones’ The Only Good Indians, to visual works like Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg’s The Substitute, Animal perspectives have never been more prevalent in narratives of human-driven climate catastrophe.

Mapping Body Space Continuum in Urbanscapes

updated: 
Thursday, May 8, 2025 - 1:49am
Language, Literature, and Interdisciplinary Studies
deadline for submissions: 
Sunday, May 18, 2025

Space is not defined objectively, but in relation to bodies, as it is a manifestation of their needs, intentions, and desires. It is not a container in which objects exist but is intertwined with the body’s orientation in the world and its movements within the space. Human body, therefore, is at the centre of all spaces, which are more than a geometrical concept in abstraction. Individual bodies apprehend and appropriate space differently and give meaning to embedded systems and institutions through established and evolving associations. Any assumption of personalised space, whether private or public, is embedded with historical, cultural, and social meanings which help curate embodied experiences.

In 2008, the International Federation of Film Archives (FIAF) released its 70th anniversary manifesto reaffirming film’s status as the “optimal archival storage” of the moving image. “Don’t throw film away!” they urged, for unlike its digital successors, film elements tangibly embody traces of their own material history alongside a bygone cultural heritage. “No matter what technologies may emerge,” they write, existing film elements “connect us to the certainties of the past.”
