Call for Abstracts/Proposals for Essays for an Edited Collection SCREEN STORYTELLERS: The Works of Steven Moffat Edited by William Rabkin This edited volume on the works of Steven Moffat will be the second book in a new series to be published by Bloomsbury Academic.

Edited by Dr Noel Brown (Liverpool Hope University) Deadline for proposals: 30 April 2023 I am seeking chapter proposals for possible inclusion in a forthcoming volume exploring radical children’s film and television. This edited collection is intended as an inaugural volume in the new ‘Children’s Film and Television’ book series, published by Edinburgh University Press.

Editors: Professor Anna Backman Rogers, University of Gothenburg, Sweden, and Dr Houman Sadri, University of South-Eastern Norway Since their publication in 1865 and 1871 respectively, Lewis Carroll’s Alice novels have inspired a wealth of academic and artistic interpretations and re-interpretations.

This collection initially examines cinematic, televisual, literary, visual and poetic representations of body parts who are vitalized, autonomized, individuated and animated. They become independent entities with a mind of their own.

Nuns have a presence in cinema as longstanding as the medium itself, including the 1922 horror film Haxan . 2021’s Benedetta , a controversial but successful Paul Verhoeven film, is a recent restatement of the capacity for stories about women religious, or women in vocation normally called nuns, to be the source of powerful and successful works across all conceivable genres.

Chapter contributions are welcomed for an edited scholarly volume on the global impact of streaming services, crucially Netflix. The American company Netflix has, owing to its pioneering role, become synonymous with the world of streaming. The growing list of “Netflix Nations” (to invoke the title of Ramon Lobato’s 2019 book) means that there are only a few territories such as China, Iran, North Korea, and Syria that remain outside its purview.

You are invited to submit a pitch for the inaugural edition of Reflections: A TV Foundation Review , the new publication produced in collaboration with The TV Foundation, the Edinburgh Television Festival charity, and Film and Television Studies at the University of Glasgow. The Review aims to develop a new space for thoughtful, creative responses to the year of television.

CfP: edited collection on Utopian Fictions Essays Dismantling Popular Myths about Utopia and Dystopia in Literature, Film, and Television Utopia has an image problem. In today’s political discourse, utopianism is often read in two competing directions.

Tales of explorers and adventurers often blur the line between science and fiction, with chronicles of the exotic and the unknown becoming the stuff of legends and the building blocks of history. Explorer’s tales spin heroic stories of adventures that cross borders, shatter boundaries, develop new knowledge, and, in so doing, depict the causes and consequences of seeking dominion over people and places.

Deadline for submissions: 1 December 2022 Lorna Piatti-Farnell and Carl Wilson In answer to the evolutionary portrayals of superheroes in our cultures, histories, and narratives, the editors welcome chapter proposals for selection and inclusion into The Routledge Companion to Superhero Studies , for which a contract has already been signed.
