How Soon is Now? Co-Constructing Hope for the Collective Present
Ekphrasis, the verbal representation of visual representation, is one of art’s oldest preoccupations. Over the past decade, we have seen a rise in British and Irish innovative ekphrastic poetry and visual art that responds to poetry. Concurrently, there has been a new wave of interest in the efficacy and function of ekphrasis, that focuses on its role as a type of creative practice and a way of thinking through aesthetic judgement. Despite all this activity, no formal consideration of the field of ekphrasis itself has emerged. Ekphrasis underwent a paradigmatic shift in which it was no longer defined by its ‘paragonal’ energy.
As the section editor for The Queer Experience, I invite you to submit a chapter proposal for consideration to be included in The American Research Handbook on Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, an edited scholarly volume that examines the evolving role of diversity, equity, and inclusion within American democracy and educational institutions.
The Queer Experience section seeks rigorous, thoughtful, and evidence-based analyses that examine gender identity, sexuality, intersectionality, and the evolving role(s) of queer people in society at the present moment.
This special issue aims to cultivate greater convergence and contribute to the broader discourse on cross-cultural exchange, particularly in contexts beyond the Euro-American center. We encourage investigations into how cultural values, ideological frameworks, and aesthetic sensibilities shape the translation and reception of children’s literature across diverse cultural contexts. We also encourage the integration of new theoretical lenses and trends, such as transcreation, affect theory, audiovisual translation, cognitive translation studies, and interdisciplinary approaches to gender and ecology, and the impact of AI, in the discussion of translational convergences and divergences in global children’s literature.
