We are pleased to announce the Call for Papers for the 3rd issue of our upcoming Journal of Global Pop Cultures on the subject of:

Death of Pop / Death in Pop

We invite theoreticians and artistic researchers to submit papers on death in Pop as well as the death of Pop for the peer-reviewed section of the Journal of Global Pop Cultures or its open, experimental magazine part. Contributions to this issue may relate to, but are not limited to, the following questions:

  • How is death represented in historical and contemporary pop artifacts?
  • Which pop genres are particularly concerned with death and how do they approach the topic?
  • How has the contemporary polycrisis, with its implications of death, suffering, and extinction, influenced pop culture(s)?
  • What future scenarios of dying and death can be observed in pop culture(s)?
  • How do subcultures and countercultures address dying and death in comparison to mainstream pop culture(s)?
  • What new and up-coming styles, genres or communities that make death the subject of creative debate can be currently observed?
  • How do pop cultures muse about their own (metaphorical) life and death?

We are looking forward to receiving your contributions!
