<br>
We are pleased to share the Call for Papers for a special issue of <i><a href="https://www.loffredoeditore.com/it/riviste/onlineriviste/contactzone">ContactZone</a></i> (ISSN: 2723-8881), titled "Unruly Bodies and Astral Corporealities in Science Fiction Cinema
and Television Series", edited by Giuseppe Balirano (University of Naples L'Orientale) and Oriana Palusci.<br>
<br>
This special issue explores how science fiction films and television series stage non-normative embodiments - both terrestrial and astral - to challenge conventional narratives about gender, sexuality, ability, and monstrosity. Contributions are invited on
the ways in which sci-fi narratives construct, critique, and celebrate bodies that resist classification, disturb comfort zones, and gesture toward new forms of being in the universe.<br>
<br>
<b>Key Dates:</b><br>
- Abstracts (300 words) and bio-note (100 words) due: 30 October 2025<br>
- Notification of acceptance: 10 November 2025<br>
- Full papers due: 20 January 2026<br>
- Publication: May 2026<br>
<br>
