This is a Call for Papers for a special issue of the online open-access double-blind peer-reviewed journal [Inter]sections,titled Laughing in the Face of Evil: Humorous Perspectives on Perpetrators in Contemporary American Literature and Popular Culture. We invite papers that ask what humor can contribute to our understanding of perpetrators by examining a selection of works from contemporary American literature and popular culture. Does humor help demythologize certain perpetrators whose international fame turned them into quasi-mythical figures? Can the ownership of humorous content about a traumatic situation or process endured by a specific marginalized community be transferred to other communities?

(What’s the story) Reunion glory?

Assessing Oasis’s legacy as Morning Glory turns 30.

 

Université Rennes 2 (France), 27 November 2025

 

Organisation committee: Aurore Caignet, Guillaume Clément, David Haigron

 

It is estimated that nearly 14 million people tried to get tickets for this year’s Oasis’s UK tour following the announcement of their reunion in 2024. This staggering figure echoes the band’s one-off concert at Knebworth in 1996, when 4% of the British population had applied for tickets. Such statistics confirm Oasis’s special status within British popular culture and the band’s ability to allow people to come together.
