Title: East Asian War Films
Concept: This seminar invites paper proposals that explore any aspects of war films
produced in China, South Korea, Japan, and other East Asian regions. The term “war film” here can be construed in its broad sense: war drama, war anime, and war documentary.

- Calls for Journal and Book Publishing:
Title: Special Issue: ‘Sounding South Asia: From Silence to Noise’
Concept: Through this special journal edition, we wish to study the constitutive roles of
sonic imaginations and how they ‘rework culture through the development of new narratives, new histories, new technologies and new narratives’ (Sterne). The larger context of this effort is the recent social and cultural transformations in South Asia, reflected in its emerging spaces, its continuously negotiated and redefined spatialities, and the soundscapes that have come to characterise such dynamics.
Deadline: 31 October 2022
Requirements: Abstracts of 300 words
Contact: Shweta Khilnani soundtrackspecialedition@gmail.com
Title: Lizards, Illuminati & Deepfakes: Conspiracy Theories at Play in Popular Culture
Concept: As part of the Routledge Advances in Popular Culture Series, this collection of
short and accessible essays (5,000 words each) will focus on: a) how conspiracy beliefs have invaded the popular culture mindset; b) how media representations (film, paper, transmedia) of conspiracy thinking have normalized and popularized fringe thoughts; and c) how conspiracy theories may be interpreted as contemporary mythmaking and storytelling.
Deadline: November 7, 2022 (Contributors selected: November 30, 2022)
Requirements: 500 words maximum & Bio Guidelines: One page C.V.
