CFP: An Extraordinary Substance: A History of Demons and Blood Across Time

CFP: An Extraordinary Substance: A History of Demons and Blood Across Time

The history of demonic possession in various cultures and religions since antiquity seems to suggest a deep physiological connection that humans and demons share with blood.

Abstract: This special issue brings together innovative and interdisciplinary comics scholarship that rethinks the epistemic, aesthetic, political, material, and decolonial aspects of comics across the Global South.

Part of this larger cultural trend, creative writers have increasingly turned to quotation, collage, erasure and other creative reuses of other texts.

This roundtable seeks to explore moments when time seems to slow down, when our thinking minds blur into our feeling bodies, when some combination of words, phrases, colors, lines, figures, etc. in a poem, story, or artwork stuns us simply by the fact of its being there. These moments are not quite epiphanies (Joyce) nor instances of defamiliarization (Shklovsky). Our worlds are not shattered, but nevertheless we wonder: What just happened? How did the work or the poet or the artist do that?
