We are seeking submissions for the April 2021 special issue on robots
and labor in pop culture.
Much of the conversation about robots and Artificial Intelligence for
the past 100 years has focused on whether robots could/should replace human
workers. With this in mind, we are
interested in a broad examination of how pop culture has imagined robots in the
workforce, from classics like the Hanna-Barbera cartoon The Jetsons to more
recent works such as C. Robert Cargill’s 2017 novel Sea of Rust.
Considerations of all genres, media, and critical lenses are welcome, and we
are particularly interested in stretching the boundaries of how labor is
defined.
The Popular Culture Studies Journal is an open-access academic,
peer-reviewed, refereed journal for scholars, academics, and students from the
many disciplines that study popular culture, as well as the fans and general
public with an interest in popular culture texts, practices, and industries.
The journal serves the MPCA/ACA membership, as well as scholars globally who
recognize and support its mission based on expanding the way we view popular
culture as a fundamental component within the contemporary world.
To be considered for this special issue, please send a proposal of no
more than 250-300 words to the guest editor, Liz W Faber, at
Elizabeth.Faber@mville.edu. Proposals must be received by Friday, January 24,
2020. Full essays will be due in August,
2020, and final drafts will be due December, 2020.
Questions and topic inquiries for this special issue can be directed to
the guest editor, Liz W Faber (Elizabeth.Faber@mville.edu).
