Extended deadline for our virtual conference Neo/noir and Thriller Imaginaries in US American Culture, which will be held as usual on Zoom on the days September 6–7, 2024. The call spans from the origins of noir to true crime, including tech-noir and cyberpunk iterations across media.
The conference invites reflections on the representations of US identity, focusing on the diversity of identities, liminality, and disenfranchised experiences of US Americanness, as well as the construction of boundaries—both material and metaphorical—as means to define the US national imaginary.
Registration is now open for the SHAW 2024 conference at the Rothermere American Institute
