The Lincoln Humanities Journal is requesting submissions for its 7th special issue, to be published in December 2019, on the topic of Ab/uses of Power and Violence: Villains, Bullies and Tyrants. Contributors are invited to examine critically (a) the making of the villain, the bully and the tyrant: myths and realities; (b) the various incarnations of the villain in art, literature, history, film, folktale, television, political life, international relations, and the media; (c) the mis/use of power, from bullying, harassment, sexual assault, to random violence and unprovoked wars; (d) the diversity of interpretations and perspectives: from heroes to villains, and vice versa; (e) the collective fascination with the figure of the ‘bad guy’; (f) the evil political power against the rule of law and justice.

 

We welcome approaches across a broad range of disciplines such as literature, history, political science, religion, popular culture, philosophy, visual arts, and social media.

Topics may include but are not limited to:

  • Villains, supervillains, tragic villains, sympathetic villains
  • Monstrous monarchs and imperial tyrants
  • Tyrannical bosses and mobsters
  • Bandits and gangsters
  • The bully: abuse of power

  • Bullying in international relations, terrorism and the rogue nation
  • Cruelty and violence in film, theater, literature, and television
  • Forces of evil (in wars, famine, environmental disasters, etc.)
  • Evil political power against the rule of law and justice
  • Mad scientists and pirates as celebrated and despised figures  
  • Evil women, women and power: the femme fatale, the w/bitch
