The intersection of crisis, addiction, and disability in German and English narratives remains an underexplored yet highly relevant field within literary, translation, and cultural studies. While literary representations of addiction often engage with individual and societal crises, questions of identity, social exclusion, and medical pathologization, the intersectional aspect of addiction and disability is frequently overlooked. At the same time, the translation of such narratives plays a crucial role in shaping their reception and interpretation across different linguistic and cultural contexts. Translation studies can make a significant contribution by examining how addiction and disability are interpreted, adapted, or even transformed in intercultural transmission.

Narratives – whether literary, cinematic, or multimodal – have the potential to critique environmental exploitation, envision sustainable futures, and explore human and non-human interconnections. The intersection of ecocriticism and storytelling offers fertile ground for discussions about the role of culture in shaping ecological consciousness and practices. We invite contributions that critically engage with the concept of ecology and storytelling, exploring the cultural, ethical, and aesthetic dimensions in the topics, including, but not limited to,    Ecocriticism, Ecofeminism Ecological narratives Sustainability narratives Climate Crisis & Climate fiction Ecopoetics Utopian/Dystopian narratives (Post-)Apocalyptic narratives Nautical Fiction Plant Studies / Narratives Animal Studies / Narratives Gender Equality and Ecology  Ecology and Science Fiction Ecology and Fantasy Fiction Ecolinguistics Ecosemiotics   Submission Guidelines Manuscripts: 6,000–8,000 words (including references) Manuscript language: English Abstracts: 250–300 words.
