CALL FOR PAPERS: Reconfiguring Identity and Power in Contemporary Humanities: Postcolonial, Gendered, and Digital Perspectives
2026-03-08
- Rationale and Scholarly Significance
Over the past two decades, the humanities have undergone profound epistemological and methodological transformations driven by globalization, migration, digitalization, ideological polarization, and renewed debates surrounding identity and belonging. Questions of nationalism, diaspora, gender, disability, xenophobia, religious discourse, and artificial intelligence are increasingly reshaping literary production, cultural representation, and pedagogical practice.
In contemporary contexts, identity is no longer a stable construct but a contested site negotiated through narrative, discourse, performance, and digital mediation. Literary texts, political and religious rhetoric, media narratives, and educational technologies have become central arenas where power structures are challenged, reproduced, and reimagined.
This Special Issue seeks to examine how identity, authority, representation, and discourse are being reconfigured across literary, sociolinguistic, cultural, and digital domains. By bringing together interdisciplinary scholarship, the issue aims to contribute to emerging global debates within contemporary humanities research.
The proposed theme aligns closely with the journal’s interdisciplinary scope and its commitment to advancing critical, globally relevant scholarship in advanced humanities.
