In light of the affective turn that has shaped the humanities and social sciences since the late 20th century, it is essential to consider Elizabeth Cowie’s insights on the relationship between nonfiction works and audiences. Cowie highlights the deep connection between affect, emotion, and the dissemination and reception of knowledge—an aspect often overlooked in documentary film studies.
Within the specific field of Latin/o American documentary, scholars such as Laura Po

Silent Epic Film from Literary Adaptation to Contemporary Epic Narratives
Though epic cinema is most commonly associated with the mid-century triumphs of Hollywood, its origins extend far deeper into the history of the medium, reaching back to the earliest days of film, long before the advent of sound. The first documented uses of the term "epic" in relation to film stem from the nascent Ital
Rationale: Often referred to as the “Second Cold War or even the “Third World War, the RussianUkrainian conflict is undoubtedly not only one of the major events of our time, but one that looks set to profoundly influence history for decades to come. Yet, the military and economic conflict is only the flip side of an ideological and informational conflict that has already polarized the entire planet. How to detect the truth beyond the propagandas and

Edited by Michele Cometa, and Margherita Fontana
So I call it the Paleocybernetic Age: an image of a hairy, buck-skinned, barefooted atomic physicist with a brain full of mescaline and logarithms, working out the heuristics of computer-generated holograms or krypton laser interferometry. It’s the dawn of man: for the first time in history we’ll soon be free e
We are seeking submissions for a special issue (titled: Queer Cripping, Art, and Resistance) for the peer-reviewed journal, Canadian Journal of Disability Studies.
As disability scholar Tobin Siebers states, “Disability is properly speaking an aesthetic value, which is to say, it participates in a system of knowledge that provides materials for and increases critical consciousness about the way that some bodies make other bodi
CFP: Media Affection and Collection The Velvet Light Trap, Issue 97 (To be published Spring 2026)
Affection plays a crucial role in how individuals and communities form emotional attachments to media. Theories of affect help us understand how feelings like love, nostalgia, or obsession influence our relationships with media objects, whether they're digital, physical, or ephemeral. Fandoms often become sites of intense emotional investment, and the act of preserving or colle
The ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine has not only heightened the global focus on the region but has also intensified the exploration of the diverse and dynamic ways in which the war reshapes various sectors of Ukraine’s society — its economy, state, culture and the sciences, to name just a few. A focus on organizations and institutions allows to study e.g. organizational behaviour across different sectors or processes of institutionalization, de-institutionalization and re-inst

For the last 100 years, from Nosferatu to Nosferatu, vampires have graced screens large and small, dressed in clothing that has become part and parcel of their appeal. From drab gray and black German frock coats to full formal tuxes, from diaphanous gowns to sleek, form-hugging dresses, from haute couture to jeans and leather jackets, and from wing-collared capes to Middle Eastern chadors, vampire fashion is varied and exciting, yet has, to date, received little a

The symposium is aimed at analyzing the momentous contributions of the First Council of Nicaea, with an emphasis on the council’s historical context. Of particular interest is the tentative transition from local to universal forms of synodal legislation, as initiated at Nicaea.
Also, we shall examine the interweaving of the religious and the political dimensions within the Council’s articulation, the aspiration for an ecumenical solution to the tension between localism and
