CFP: ZOMBIES OF THE FUTURE: THE UNDEAD IN THE 21ST CENTURY AND BEYOND


Zombies of the Future:

The Undead in the 21st Century and Beyond. 


Zombies seemed to have shambled into something of a literal “dead end.” With something of an eternal return to similar tropes and similar readings on their way to inevitable apocalypse. But this collection wants to “breath” new life into old undead bodies and focus solely on texts from the past 10 years or those that have used the zombie in unusual and previously unconsidered ways. Consequently this collection will be focused on 4 specific areas:

  • The zombie beyond the zombie (post-zombie zombies)
  • Zombies and new media, e.g. Tik Tok, streaming, gaming etc.
  • Cross cultural zombies—Indigenous, Aboriginal, Indian, African, South Korea etc.
  • Futuristic zombies—zombie bodies in fantasy, sci-fi and visions of what’s to come.

This concerns popular culture in its widest interpretation books, films, games, comics, music, theatre, ballet, performance, art, fashion, etc.

Send 300 words abstracts or expressions of interest to Simon Bacon (baconetti@googlemail.com) by February 28th 2021, with final essays of 6-7,000 words required mid-2023. Bloomsbury Academic has expressed interest in the collection.

CFP: CONFLICT AND THE SENSES IN THE GLOBAL COLD WAR: FROM PROPAGANDA TO SENSORY WARFARE



Conflict and the Senses in the Global Cold War: From Propaganda to Sensory Warfare

October 15-16, 2020. Berlin, Germany

Although a conflict in which military strategies and weapons of mass destruction were always on the “horizon of expectation”, the Cold War was to a large degree carried out by non-lethal methods. It was also a war of culture, politics, and (visual and sonic) propaganda. Therefore, it can be understood to a great extent as a war not only on the senses, but as a war through the senses. In recent times, sensory aspects of domestic and international conflicts have become a field of interest in both sensory studies and conflict studies, with their methods and questionnaires intertwining in fruitful cooperation. (1) Historiographical approaches include the study of conflicts from the American Civil War to the Russian Revolution to both World Wars, and these examine how wars as the most extreme form of conflict were perceived—and how war changed contemporary perception. (2) The central conflict of the second half of the 20th century, though, is still a blatantly unexplored area in terms of sensory approaches. (3)
