The Journal of the Short Story in English: Special Issue on Henry Roth.

Although Jewish American writer Henry Roth is best known as a novelist, he
also left behind a rich store of short stories, both published and
unpublished, at his death in 1995. The majority of published pieces,
collected together in the 1987 volume, Shifting Landscape, were written
during the 60-year period between his first novel, Call It Sleep and his
second Mercy of a Rude Stream.

The Journal of the Short Story in English (JSSE) invites contributions on
Henry Roth's short stories, either published or, for those who have had
access to the archive of Roth's papers in New York, unpublished.
Articles comparing Roth's short fiction with his novels are also
encouraged. It is planned that articles will be thematically grouped -
for example on his 1940s commercial pieces, on his later allegories of
writing, or on stories which enabled him to 'limber up' for his later
projects. However, contributions that take a different approach are very
welcome.

Contributors should submit either a 400-word proposal for an article by
January 30, 2004, or finished articles of up to 5,000 words by June 30,
2004. Please email proposals or articles, as a Word attachment, to
aaxawrg_at_nottingham.ac.uk.

The JSSE is published semi-annually in December and June by the University
Press of Angers (France), under the auspices of the Department of English
Language and Literature and the CRILA.

The JSSE's standard style guidelines are set out below:

The JSSE publishes articles on short stories and novellas in the form of
essays (not exceeding 5,000 words), reviews and notes (not exceeding 1,500
words). Manuscripts must be submitted in duplicate. Documentation should
conform to the endnote style of The MLA Style Manual. Upon acceptance the
author should be prepared to submit his/her article, a 200-word French and
English abstract and a Contributor's note in English on diskette
preferably in Microsoft Word format.

The Interdisciplinary Humanities M.A. in Interpretation and Values at
Laurentian University invites 300-500 word proposals for contributions
to an edited collection with a projected publication date in late 2004.

Cultural appropriation has in recent years been a subject of debate
internationally, both in arts communities and in the academy. In
addition to the theft of artifacts and voice appropriation,
multiculturalism itself can appear to be an ideological mask
dissimulating the appropriation of the Other into the One.
Notwithstanding the critique of official multiculturalism, perhaps it
can be argued that in Canada, where translation between English and
French is already a two-way street and where aboriginal cultures
increasingly assert their presence, there is still room for a
non-reductionist and creative exchange among cultures, even where the
relations of force among them are uneven (as is nearly always the case).
This optimistic hypothesis is the one we propose for a series of
interventions that would explore its potential and/or its limits.

Neil Besner (U. of Winnipeg) has contributed a paper on translating
from Brazilian Portuguese into Canadian English. George Elliott Clarke
(U. of Toronto) has written for this book on his project to "repatriate"
Arthur Nortje into the Afro-Canadian literary canon. Submissions, in
English or French, will deal with translation and/or transculturation,
either within Canada or in a context involving Canada. Possible areas of
intervention may include:

1) Translation of cultural products between English or French and other
languages;
2) The creative interaction between First Nations cultural production
and that of Anglophone, Francophone and/or Allophone cultures;
3) Appropriation across borders in canon formation;
4) The interaction of immigrant cultural production with that of
hegemonic cultures in Quebec or English Canada;
5) Triangulation of cultural interaction between French, English and
another culture;
6) The ethics of cultural interaction within Canada or between Canada
and other countries;
7) Theoretical considerations of Canada as a site of postcolonial
cultural exchange.

Please send your 300-500 word abstract by January 31, 2004 in Word or
Word Perfect to ncheadle_at_laurentian.ca. Invitations for complete papers
will be sent out by February 20. Completed papers of 3000-7000 words,

Hungry Words: Images of Famine in the Irish Canon

    Abstracts of 500 words or original papers of 25-35 pages are being
solicited for Hungry Words, an anthology which will examine representations
of hunger or famine in the works of canonical Irish authors. The terms
³famine² and ³canonical² are, of course, loaded ones in Irish studies, and
it is my particular desire to collect essays which question the various
manifestations of these terms in recent literary scholarship.

            In the past few years, numerous scholars have challenged the
myth that Irish literature as a whole has ignored or repressed the cultural
legacy of the Great Famine. As works such as Christopher Morash¹s Writing
the Irish Famine(1996) demonstrate, representations of the Famine have
indeed existed in Irish literature since the 1840¹s and continue into the
present. However, nearly all of the scholarship published in this area has
emphasized the rediscovery of authors and texts largely forgotten by
contemporary critics and readers. Few projects, if any, have sought to
reevaluate the authors and texts generally recognized as the ³canon² of
Irish literature in the light of the newly identified Famine discourse.

            Hungry Words will provide just such a reevaluation. Each essay
will focus on the ways individual Irish authors with varying claims to
canonical status affect and are affected by the literary discourse which
emerged from the Great Famine. Through these essays, the anthology as a
whole will further illuminate not only the cultural impact of the Famine,
but the nature of the canon itself and the ideologies that have been used to
determine which authors and texts represent Ireland¹s cultural identity.

Abstracts will be accepted until January 15, 2004 and essays will be
accepted until February 15, 2004. Projects which focus on a single author
are preferred, but comparative projects will be considered. Please include
a CV or professional biography with your submission. Send submissions to:

We invite essays and/or proposals for an edited collection on
interconnections between Philosemitism and Antisemitism in
twentieth-century American and British literature and culture. This volume
will focus on the use of the figure of the Jew and Jewishness in such
cultural expressions as literary and non-literary writing, art and museum
exhibitions, film, music, and theater. We expect these essays to question,
challenge, and redefine the terms philosemitism and antisemitism and to
complicate what are commonly assumed to be inherent tensions between them.
Essays might consider historical, political, or cultural intersections
between the terms, discuss the impact of antisemitic thinking on the
development of philosemitism, reevaluate earlier theories of antisemitism
and philosemitism, or examine the theoretical and political effects of
reassessing each term. Possible topics include: the development of
Holocaust monuments and their reception, Jews' affiliations with Socialism
and/or right-wing political platforms, Jewish jokes, messianic myths about
Jewish migration, the impact of new technologies on the dissemination of
antisemitism, and/or the role of antisemitism and philosemitism in
postmodern narratives and culture. We encourage essays that engage with
Gender Studies, Diaspora Studies, Postcolonial Studies, Intellectual
history, and newer cultural theories such as Cosmopolitanism. Other
approaches are also welcome. Three page proposals and/or essays in hard
copy (no email submissions accepted) of no more than 20 double-spaced
pages, including endnotes and bibliography, in 12 pt. font, should be
submitted to both editors by May 15th, 2004: Lara Trubowitz, 308 EPB,

Contested Again: Cultural, Historical, and Pedagogical Implications of Race
Call for Papers for a Critical Collection, by Valerie Kinloch and Jia-Yi
Cheng-Levine

In this critical collection of essays, we seek submissions from passionately
engaged individuals to provide the academic and the public with new ways of
reading, understanding, teaching, or theorizing pedagogy on race. As Edward
Said points out, any form of intellectual work is always situated in the
world. Therefore, we are more interested in essays that aim at changing the
world instead of merely interpreting it. We welcome articles that present
unique and unconventional analytical parameters and critical angles,
especially those that localize race issues, transgress the rigid boundaries
of academic disciplines, and approach race from interdisciplinary
perspectives, as well as scholarship that pushes the focus of race issues
beyond the U. S. geo-political boundaries.

Possible topics, with no special preference in the listed order, can
include:
* A literary and political space in which national culture, identity,
and hegemony are contested by the history and definition of race
* How the convergence of race with national culture and identity
impacts the existence of and the challenge to the canon
* How racial memory and history function as narrative strategies
* How racial conflict, embedded in national history, is socialized in
the context of the nation's cultural values
* How to engage race issues in the classroom that are not merely
re-producing an intellectual class whose expertise, as Edward Said points
out, "has usually been a service rendered, and sold, to the central
authority of society"
* What makes a (racial) experience historical and how race has been
essentialized and commodified in the academy, and what approaches can be
employed to challenge such construction and build a new paradigm in
addressing and teaching race
* Pedagogical approaches that help students position their
subjectivities in relation to their racial and ethnic communities through
racial memory and history, and in the context of U.S. cultural history
* Pedagogical approaches to addressing race issues with immigrant and
other-national histories
* A historically and culturally informed reading and teaching of race
or works that address race issues
* New Historical approaches in teaching race by discussing how social
conditions impinge on the texts addressing race
* The danger of addressing race in the political realm and/or in the
classroom and possible solutions
* Struggles with confronting the silences involved with teaching,
living, and/or talking about racial diversity in academic and nonacademic
spaces
* Ways of engaging in conversations with language as an agency of
power through issues of race

Please submit, in electronic format in MS Word, a 500-word proposal/abstract
and a two-page CV to both Dr. Valerie Kinloch of Teachers College, Columbia
University at Kinloch_at_tc.edu <mailto:Kinloch_at_tc.edu> and Dr. Jia-Yi
Cheng-Levine of the University of Houston-Downtown at chenglevinej_at_uhd.edu
<mailto:levinej_at_uhd.edu> . The deadline for proposals is December 20, 2003.

CALL FOR PAPERS (Deadline Extended: 12/29/03)

SARGASSO, a Journal of Caribbean Literature, Language, and Culture
Edited at the University of Puerto Rico, Río Piedras; Department of English
Deadline: December 29, 2003

SARGASSO is now accepting submissions and book reviews for an upcoming issue
to be entitled “Creolistics and Creole Exceptionalism: Linguistics and
Caribbean Languages.”

Research on the languages of the Greater Caribbean is a field of inquiry
that has always been and continues to be shaped by knowledge production in
other areas. One of the most provocative assertions made in recent years
concerning the study of Caribbean languages is the notion of Creole
Exceptionalism (cf. DeGraff). This concept exposes the ideological
environment from which the idea of a Creole emerges. It is a concept that
has potential implications for virtually every line of research within
Creolistics.

The SARGASSO editorial committee is seeking submissions which, either
explicitly or implicitly, engage the idea of Creole Exceptionalism. We
welcome work by anyone interested in linguistics: graduate students, junior
scholars, senior scholars and other researchers. One of the goals of this
issue is to encourage, bring together, and promote new and fresh
perspectives.

We invite contributions on a variety of topics; these include but are not
limited to:

Language Acquisition, Creole Genesis, Perceptual Dialectology, Substrate &
Superstrate Influences, Formalism vs. Functionalism, Pragmatics, Discourse
Analysis, TMA, Phonology, Syntax, Creole in Caribbean Literary Discourse,
Postcolonial Approaches to Language, Sociolinguistics, The History of
Creolistics,
Language Planning, Language Shift, Creole & Popular Culture, Language &
Power

Essay submissions should be 10-15 pages in length and double-spaced. With
essays, please include an abstract of 120 words or less. Reviews should be
approximately 1,000 words. Books for review need not focus specifically on
the Caribbean but should be published in 2001 or later and be pertinent to
the study of Creoles and / or other Caribbean languages. Submissions are
accepted in English, French, Papiamentu, or Spanish.

Essays and reviews should conform to APA guidelines or to the MLA style
guide. Electronic submissions as attachments in Word, WordPerfect or Rich
Text Format are appreciated. Papers sent through the postal system should
include a SASE and a copy in RTF format on diskette.

Electronic submissions, inquiries, and other questions should be mailed to:
uprcreolistics_at_yahoo.com. Please indicate ‘Sargasso Submission’ in the
subject line. Secondary email contact address: walicek_at_alumni.utexas.net

CFP: Rage, Resistance, and Representation: Women in U. S. Race Riots

Atlanta, GA. Washington, DC. Wilmington, NC. Chicago, Philadelphia,
Ocoee, New York, Tulsa: cities – among many others – that have been home
to race riots in the United States over the nineteenth and twentieth
centuries. This collection of essays will investigate the various active
roles women, and particularly minority women, played in such riots,
paying specific attention to exposing the cultural fallacy of women’s
passivity in the public realm of violence, especially in relation to the
construction of racial identity and cultural race relations.

This project proceeds from the assumption that our historical
representations and interpretations of race riots have constructed
active resistance to or participation in (usually white) mob violence as
primarily masculine: whenever possible, men fought to defend (reputedly
or actually) their cultures, communities, and families. Women’s roles,
in comparison, are remembered as primarily passive on both sides of “the
color line”: women’s bodies were protected, defended, raped, beaten,
mutilated, or ignored. These dual constructions, while often accurate
and productive for highlighting the gendered and sexualized violence of
race riots, leave a yawning void in both our understanding of minority
communities’ resistance to national, racialized forms of terrorism, and
our cultural memory of white women’s role in the public domain and their
engagement in “the race question.” This project will begin to fill those
voids by investigating how women participated more actively, through
both rhetoric and action, in race riots. While the essays in this
collection should not ignore the ways that women – or men – were victims
to (usually white) mob violence in race riots, they should primarily
highlight how women actively participated in those riots.

Essays may deal with the historical archive itself, or they may deal
with fictional representations of riots in order to emphasize how
women’s roles have been proscribed, lauded, condemned, etc. in the
cultural imagination at different historical moments by different
voices. Essays should explore the theoretical and ideological constructs
(such as the lingering myth of separate spheres, perceived biological
racial and/or gender difference, or the “cult of true womanhood”) that
proscribe and silence our cultural memory of women’s participation in
violent public acts in relation to race. While essays should note the
precipitating causes of the respective riots, the essays should more
importantly explore the underlying cultural issues such as the control
of property, the attempt to exercise various rights (such as freedom of
speech or the franchise), political power or definition of the nation,
etc. that ultimately fuel race riots.

The collection aims to be interdisciplinary and will tentatively include
12-14 essays, organized both chronologically and thematically. Although
the project will emphasize non-white women’s participation in race
riots, some articles addressing white women's involvement will also be
included. The collection also actively seeks to include various
non-white groups such as Native, Asian, Latino, Jewish, and/or
historically liminal European peoples (such as Italian, Irish, Spanish,
etc.); thus, submissions of essays dealing with such groups are
particularly encouraged. The essays should, however, focus on race riots
rather than spectacle lynchings, as the socio-cultural dynamics of the
two types of events are significantly different. Finished papers should
be approximately 8,000 - 10,000 words and will be tentatively due in
August 2004.

CALL FOR PAPERS

COLLECTION OF ESSAYS ON HANIF KUREISHI

Contributors are sought for a collection of original essays on Hanif
Kureishi's writing and filmmaking. The deadline for 500-word abstracts is
10th November 2003. It is intended that the volume should explore each of
the genres within which Kureishi works (novels, plays, screenplays, films,
short stories, essays and music criticism). I am particularly interested
in receiving contributions that take new approaches to his best-known
works and that explore facets of his oeuvre that have, as yet, received
little critical scrutiny.

Contributors should note that although no critical/theoretical approach is
discouraged, essays should appeal to good undergraduate and postgraduate
students as well as scholars in the field. The collection will be
published by a North American academic press. A final selection of 15
essays will be submitted to the press for publication in Spring 2005.

Essays should be 7-8,000 words in length.
Please forward this call for papers to interested colleagues.

Please send abstracts or completed essays as Microsoft word attachment to:

    All contributions (in French or English) should be submitted by March 15, 2004. Illustrations can be provided on the express condition that no copyrights are to be paid. Proposed contributions to this project will be examined by at least two reviewers and may be accepted only on the understanding that the materials have not been submitted to and accepted by another journal.

     This theme of reflection focuses on the value and authenticity of historical testimony when it is conveyed by any kind of subjective literary form, whether it be the autobiographical genre stemming from personal experience or the subjective interpretation of this testimony through fictional literary works. The field of study discussed is that of American XIXth and XXth century cultural studies, directly linked with minorities and written testimonies coming from ethnic groups. In
this domain, more than in any other, memory and individual testimony are the only warrants for the permanency of historical knowledge as well as the protection and perpetuation of a cultural identity.

I. We will first concentrate on the XIXth century. It will be interesting to observe how these minorities express, in a direct or indirect way, their intimate historical traumas, and how their voice can be conveyed - or even betrayed, and we shall see why and how - often by the fictional voice of a third person, detached from the group. Using a
comparative analysis, we may wonder - though it is just one example among others - in what way the slave narratives, when used as a basis
for the writing of abolitionist texts, actually offer an illustration of this interplay between authentic testimony and "reported" testimony. We may also consider the biographical or autobiographical texts produced by some Indian Chiefs testifying to the realities of their political and
economic situation at the end of the XIXth century, but also about the interpretation given by some biographers who rewrote those oral testimonies to turn them into books destined to be sold as autobiographies . Is this "reported" voice, once transcribed, the same testimony, and does it have the same "value" as direct expression?

>II. The theme of "minority" groups expressing themselves - and the words "minority" and "minor" should be defined in the context of the United States and put into perspective - whether it be in a direct or indirect way, is still valid in the XXth century. The writers descending from minority groups have inherited the memory/ies of their ancestors: fiction thus becomes the ideal medium for many Black or Indian writers (we may also consider other minorities) willing to pass on this preserved Memory. Once again, the intimate relationship between "direct" and "indirect" testimony - inside the same community this time - is at work. Its aim, however, is different : it might be the survival of an ancestral and timeless cultural patrimony (the memory of Africa, of slavery, of the original tribal life, of the Great Plains, the transmission of the oral tradition and so on). We will then try to unveil the mechanisms used to ensure this transition between past and future and the literary modes which seem to be effectiv
e in the preservation of this cultural identity.

THE HOLOCAUST AS SCREEN MEMORY.
Proposals/contributions are invited for a collection of original essays
exploring the claim that the Holocaust has served as a screen memory for
other histories, anxieties, and concerns. For example, some scholars in the
United States have suggested that the Holocaust may serve as a screen memory
for events "closer to home" than the Nazi genocide of the European
Jews-particularly the genocide of Native Americans and the perpetration of
American slavery and segregation. Others have identified the Holocaust as a
symbol for vanishing American Jewish identity and community. Still others
link interest in the Holocaust to fears concerning the disappearance of
historical memory, the dominance of visual media over reality, and moral
desensitization. We welcome contributions that take up such issues by
analyzing specific representations and collective memories in both American
and non-American contexts. We aim not to produce another book on the
"uniqueness" of the Holocaust, but rather to explore the intersection of
different historical memories with questions of representation and
collective identity. Send proposals of 500-1000 words by Jan.15, 2004 to
Michael Rothberg (mpr_at_uiuc.edu) and Gary Weissman (weissmang_at_mail.ecu.edu).

NEW COLLECTION OF ESSAYS ON PHILIP ROTH
Deadline for abstract submission: 10/15/03

I am looking for contributors to a new book on Philip Roth to be
published by the Greenwood Publishing Group. This will be a collection
of brand new essays on Roth and it will cover the entire scope of his
career. The audience for this project would be an academic as well as a
more general readership. In other words, the book should fit nicely on
university library shelves just as comfortably as it would in a high
school library. As I'm projecting it now, it will be divided into
approximately 16 chapters, each one dealing with either one specific
text (usually one of Roth's more significant novels) or two books that
would work well together (e.g., Roth's pre-Portnoy novels, _Letting Go_
and _When She Was Good_).

Each chapter (approximately 5000-7000 words long, depending on the
particular subject matter) should be a highly readable introduction to a
particular book, or books, by Roth and would be accessible to anyone
familiar with as well as wanting to learn more about Roth's fiction. In
order to provide this clarity, every chapter will be constructed in a
somewhat similar manner, although one that doesn't stifle its author's
critical creativity. Each chapter will begin with an introduction to a
particular book, provide a brief summary of its story line, move on to
an analysis of its various literary elements, and then conclude by
contextualizing the significance of the book within the overall body of
Roth's oeuvre. There should be thematic threads throughout that link
all of the chapters. Some examples of these could include the rise of
suburbanization in post-war America, the problematic prominence of the
family, American (Jewish) ethnicity, comedy and satire, the costs of
literary celebrity, postmodern articulations and concerns, the
relationship between the author and his text, the promises (and
failures) of the American dream, and the ways in which sex defines who
we are. Contributors would be encouraged to focus on these as well as
other issues, but at the same time they will be expected to make their
chapters their own (i.e., give it their own personal stamp).

Most of the chapters have already been assigned, but I still need
contributors for the following:

Chapter 4 - Post-Portnoy Experiments: _Our Gang_, _The Breast_, and _The
Great American Novel_

Chapter 5 - _My Life as a Man_

Chapter 7 - The (First) Zuckerman Books: _Zuckerman Bound_, with an
emphasis on _Zuckerman Unbound_, _The Anatomy Lesson_, and "The Prague
Orgy"

Chapter 15 - The Kepesh Novels: _The Breast_, _The Professor of Desire_
and _The Dying Animal_

If you would like to contribute to this project, please contact me with
a brief description of how you would conceive a particular chapter (or
chapters, in the event that your first choice for a contribution has
already been assigned) along with pertinent contact information. I hope
to have all of the essays assigned by the middle of October.

Recent events have led to reappraisals of religion and spirituality.
This creates an opportunity to collect in one volume the different and
differing perspectives and interpretations of what it means to be
religious or spiritual today. Essays intended for an international
audience are therefore solicited for inclusion in a collection
tentatively entitled "Uniqueness and Versatility: Cross-Cultural
Expressions of Spirituality". The book is to bring together innovative
but readable explorations of religious, mythological, cosmological and
theological texts.

The editor welcomes well-researched essays aimed at (re)reading
established and emergent voices in the mentioned areas. Contributors
are at liberty to explore any aspect of spirituality, culture and
religion reflecting their academic and scholarly orientations.
Contributions on the themes such as spiritual awakening, God, ecstasy,
super-fear, education, women's spirituality, non-Western traditions,
esotericism and the like are welcome.

Submissions should be between fifteen and twenty-five pages, although
longer contributions will be accepted in exceptional circumstances.
Contributors are encouraged but not necessarily bound to adopt the MLA
format in preparing their essays, and submissions can initially be made
either electronically or in two hard copies. Even though the deadline
for submissions is January 31,2004, the editor welcomes early
submissions and enquiries.

Call for Articles (La revue LISA / LISA e-journal)

LISA E-Journal is inviting contributions to an issue on :
Contemporary Art and American Minorities : an Iconography of Identity?

Contemporary art and the market for it are excellent mirrors of the
evolution of American society. If the limited presence of works by artists
born of Latino, African American, Native American or Asian minorities on the
walls of galleries and museums was for a long time the proof of the
marginalization of these groups, the growing interest in their creations
over the last few years is a clear signal both of a change in attitude on
the part of the Euro-American art milieu and of the emergence of ethnic
groups intent on asserting their existence. These artistic trends reveal a
cultural and social renewal, hence the relevance of carrying out
sociological research into the art of American minorities.
Two axes of reflection may be considered:

1- The function of art for the minorities
Beyond the particularism and uniqueness of each artistic creation, there is
the question of defining the finality of the art works, of exploring their
meaning for the artists and the groups represented. The social and political
context in which the work was created has to be taken into account in order
to explore the symbolism involved and to examine the background that led to
the creative act. The artists’ goals and the social function of their art
therefore require careful consideration.
We may also wonder whether art contributes to the social re-enforcement of
minority groups by reminding them of their roots and by creating the memory
of an identity. In other words, does art foster social links? Does it
contribute to the sharing of a value system? Art is, in some cases, the
committed expression of a need for cultural recognition and political
legitimacy, a space devoted to protest and resistance, stimulating the
imagination of minorities to the extent of federating them around a culture
with collective tendencies. In others, art reflects cultural duality and the
integration of these groups into the dominant society by helping them
participate in the “maze of cultures” and identities which make up the
fabric of American society.
2- The themes and inspirations of their works
The second axis concerns the formal research used by artists from the
various minority groups: does each minority possess its own code of plastic
expression and/or its individual series of chromatic harmonies and
materials? Does a close scrutiny of these aesthetics reveal specific formal
traits which might be evidence of their history, their origins and their
migration? Do they re-invent a local iconographic imagery? How do they
represent themselves?
The functions of signs are complex: some artists pursue stylistic traditions
in order to preserve their beliefs, while others go as far as provocation
and iconoclasm by breaking referentials or taboos. One can also study
hybridisation through borrowing from the world around them or the cross
fertilisation of iconographic themes which reveals a group in transition,
their art becoming a contact zone and proof of the mutation of the imagery.

All contributions in French or English should be submitted by November 30,
2003. Illustrations can be provided on the express condition that no
copyrights are to be paid.
Contributions accepted for this project will be reviewed by at least two
reviewers with the understanding that the materials have not been submitted
to and accepted by another journal. All submissions should be double-spaced,
and conform to the MLA style. Articles should not exceed 20 pages (5,000
words) in length, excluding notes and references. For other details, please

_Modern Fiction Studies_ invites submissions for a special issue on
"Modernism's Jews / Jewish Modernisms" guest edited by Maren Linett. We seek
essays focusing on the period 1890 - 1939 that analyze inscriptions of
Jewish "difference" in fiction, film, and other forms of narrative or
examine the ways Jewish writers and critics negotiated literary and social
terrains. Essays might, for example, trace the aesthetic or political work
accomplished by representations of Jewishness in particular texts; map
intersections among disparate cultural and linguistic contexts; consider
what it means to read prewar texts from our post-Shoah vantage point; or ask
how responses to Jewish difference animated--or indeed helped
produce--modernism's varied self-conceptions. Because Jews were often seen
as distinct from their compatriots in terms of race, religion, gender,
nation, and class, analyzing their complex positionings sharpens our
understanding of the ways in which these categories were and are mutually
constitutive. "The new Jewish cultural studies" (as Daniel and Jonathan
Boyarin call it) is thus poised to contribute significantly to the study of
early 20th-century culture.

Essays should be full-length (6000-9000 words) and use MLA-style citations.
Please submit two copies of your essay by September 1, 2004 to The Editors,
_Modern Fiction Studies_, Department of English, Purdue University, 500

Call for Papers

Special issue of Current Writing on Paul Gilroy and 'The Black Atlantic:
Modernity and double consciousness'

The publication of Paul Gilroy's 'The Black Atlantic: Modernity and double
consciousness' ten years ago made a major contribution to the reconfiguration
of the study of black literatures and cultures. Since then several scholars
have engaged with the ways in which the Atlantic divides and connects Africa,
Europe, and the Americas; with notions of black modernity; and with the
intricacies of double consciousness.

Papers are sought for a special interdisciplinary issue of 'Current Writing'
commemorating Gilroy's work on the Black Atlantic as well as his more recent
global approach to post-racial humanism. Whilst Gilroy's notion of the Black
Atlantic constitutes a broad frame of reference for this special issue, the
editors welcome contributions which critically engage with his theses or
refine, develop and extend them into new directions.

Contributions may also deal with larger theoretical issues pertaining to Black
Atlanticism, black modernity, and double consciousness, as well as readings and
rereadings of specific texts within the Black Atlantic and the post-racial
humanist paradigms. Submissions that emphasise African and especially southern
African literatures, cultures and histories from these perspectives are
especially encouraged.

Possible topics could include
· Theoretical issues in Black Atlanticism and/or post-racial
              global humanism
· Black Modernity
· Double Consciousness
· Black Atlanticism from an African perspective
· Southern Africa and the Black Atlantic
· Gender and the Black Atlantic
· Methodologies of the Black Atlantic
· Other aspects of Gilroy's writing

Abstracts of about 500 words should be submitted to the editors by 1 October
2003. Final submissions in the Harvard style, double spaced and not exceeding
7000 words in total (about 45 000 characters including spaces) should be
received by 31 January 2004. For further information, please refer to the

Editor: Leigh Dale

                              Call for Papers
 Special Issue on Imposture, Hoaxes, and Identity Conflicts in Australian
                                Literature

               Edited by Marguerite Nolan and Carrie Dawson

In recent years there have been a number of high-profile cases of imposture
or mistaken identity in Australian literature, including those involving
Helen Darville/Demidenko and Leon Carmen/ Wanda Koolmatrie. Likewise, such
prominent writers as Mudrooroo, Archie Weller, and Bobbi Sykes have had
their claims to Aboriginality held up for scrutiny. The public exposure of
these cases has caused significant and sustained anxiety in the publishing
industry, the literary establishment and, the academy.  The resulting
literary debates bear directly on significant cultural and political issues
in Australia, such as multiculturalism, indigenous cultural policy, and
national identity, and have prompted a re-examination of earlier
manifestations of mistaken identity involving such diverse figures as the
Tichborne Claimant, Ern Malley, Nino Culotta, and B. Wongar.  In an attempt
to extend, evaluate, and coordinate scholarship on literary imposture,
Australian Literary Studies invites essay submissions for a special issue
on imposture, hoaxes, and related identity conflicts or crises in
Australian literature. Essays considering any aspect of the social,
historical, philosophical, political, or economic conditions and
consequences of Australian literary imposture are welcome, as are essays
that exceed the paradigm of Australian literature and consider literary
imposture in a comparative context or a theoretical vein.

Electronic copies of manuscripts (not longer than 5,000 words) should be
sent to Leigh Dale at L.Dale_at_uq.edu.au. Submissions should arrive by 30
January 2004 and should follow the MLA Handbook (2nd or 3rd edition) for
matters of presentation, using parenthetical documentation and a list of
Works Cited. However, single inverted commas are used for quotations.
Contributions should be typescript (double-spaced) and footnotes should be
numbered consecutively. The issue will be published in October 2004.

REWRITING THE HISTORY OF THE AMERICAS

The Research Group Cultural and Literary Studies of the Americas invites
original essays for the publication of a volume dedicated to the
rewritings of the history of the Americas (including North America,
Central America, the Caribbean, and South America).

Recent ideas about the nature and purpose of history are blurring the line
that has traditionally divided fact from fiction. Other ways of
understanding history have transformed it into story, which has
contributed to a whole production of rewritings of canonical history into
fictional stories. Highly biased by economic and political issues of
national interests, traditional writings of history have produced patterns
of discourse in which personal experiences of the past cannot fit. New
rewritings of history now offer different perspectives of the past and
contribute to finding other ways of dealing with its consequences both in
the personal and communal level. However, different perspectives are often
perceived as distortions of more generally accepted writings of
history—distortions that are becoming the pattern of a new canon. This
book will be committed to exploring such rewritings of the history of the
Americas.

Submissions may focus on the main subtopics below:

-Gender biased rewritings of the history of the Americas.

-Racial and ethnic rewritings of the history of the Americas.

-Rewriting the borders of the Americas.

-Media rewriting of the history of the Americas.

-Rewriting myths and religions of the Americas.

Send 500-word abstracts by e-mail to the volume editors by July 30, 2003
together with a short vitae (maximum of 300 words). The working languages
will be English, French and Spanish.

Finished versions of essays should be sent by January 12, 2004.

LISA E-Journal is inviting contributions to an issue on Biography versus
Fiction: the Value of Testimony to be published in June 2004. This theme of
reflection focuses on the value and authenticity of historical testimony
when it is conveyed by any kind of subjective literary form, whether it be
the autobiographical genre stemming from personal experience or the
subjective interpretation of this testimony through fictional literary
works. The field of study discussed is that of American XIXth and XXth
century cultural studies, directly linked with minorities and written
testimonies coming from ethnic groups. In this domain, more than in any
other, memory and individual testimony are the only warrants for the
permanency of historical knowledge as well as the protection and
perpetuation of a cultural identity.

I. We will first concentrate on the XIXth century. It will be interesting to
observe how these minorities express, in a direct or indirect way, their
intimate historical traumas, and how their voice can be conveyed - or even
betrayed, and we shall see why and how - often by the fictional voice of a
third person, detached from the group. Using a comparative analysis, we may
wonder - though it is just one example among others - in what way the slave
narratives, when used as a basis for the writing of abolitionist texts,
actually offer an illustration of this interplay between authentic testimony
and "reported" testimony. We may also consider the biographical or
autobiographical texts produced by some Indian Chiefs testifying to the
realities of their political and economic situation at the end of the XIXth
century, but also about the interpretation given by some biographers who
rewrote those oral testimonies to turn them into books destined to be sold
as autobiographies . Is this "reported" voice, once transcribed, the same
testimony, and does it have the same "value" as direct expression?

II. The theme of "minority" groups expressing themselves - and the words
"minority" and "minor" should be defined in the context of the United States
and put into perspective - whether it be in a direct or indirect way, is
still valid in the XXth century. The writers descending from minority groups
have inherited the memory/ies of their ancestors: fiction thus becomes the
ideal medium for many Black or Indian writers (we may also consider other
minorities) willing to pass on this preserved Memory. Once again, the
intimate relationship between "direct" and "indirect" testimony - inside the
same community this time - is at work. Its aim, however, is different : it
might be the survival of an ancestral and timeless cultural patrimony (the
memory of Africa, of slavery, of the original tribal life, of the Great
Plains, the transmission of the oral tradition and so on). We will then try
to unveil the mechanisms used to ensure this transition between past and
future and the literary modes which seem to be effective in the preservation
of this cultural identity.

All contributions (in French or English) should be submitted by 1 April
2004. Illustrations can be provided on the express condition that no
copyrights are to be paid. Proposed contributions to this project will be
examined by at least two reviewers and may be accepted only on the
understanding that the materials have not been submitted to and accepted by
another journal. All submissions should be double-spaced, and conform to the
MLA style. For other details, please check on LISA e-journal's web-site:

Call for Proposals
Pedagogy, Praxis, Politics and Multiethnic Literatures
Fall 2004 issue of MELUS Journal (Multi-Ethnic Literatures of the
U.S.)

Teachers and scholars of ethnic American literatures have
traditionally found it useful to articulate the principles behind
their classroom practice. In the current social and political
climate, it is especially important to foster cross-cultural
dialogue on pedagogy in relation to recent educational practices
in the academy.

For a special issue of MELUS journal, we invite articles on
pedagogy in multiethnic literatures of the U.S. Essays should be
4000-6000 words in length (including notes and works cited),
clearly written, theoretically informed, and relevant to actual
classroom practice. While one or more specific teaching
techniques or experiences might anchor the discussion, we prefer
essays that are wide-ranging in theoretical and pedagogical scope.
 A narrow focus on one ethnic writer or text is discouraged.

Essays might explore any of the following areas: (1) defining the
field of study; (2) texts and anthologies; (3) genres and
movements; (4) cultures and contexts; (5) themes and issues; (6)
goals and outcomes; (7) institutional and professional issues; (8)
resources (e.g., bibliography, video and audio media, the
Internet). The teaching of ethnic American literatures might also
be discussed in relation to: globalization; race/ethnicity,
gender, class, sexual orientation; the (sub)urban environment;
technology; university curricula; and debates over the literary
canon.

Specific questions to consider might be: What is the current
status of the field of multiethnic literatures within the academy?
 What special challenges are faced in the classroom by teachers of
multiethnic literatures? How does resistance to change in the
traditional curriculum manifest itself today? How have past
culture wars and canon debates changed shape in reaction to the
current social and political climate? How have these changes
affected the teaching of multiethnic literatures? Do calls for
national unity threaten to erode gains made in multicultural
education?

Please email a 500-word proposal as a Microsoft Word attachment,
along with a brief curriculum vitae with complete contact
information, by September 15, 2003 to both:

Professor Bonnie TuSmith, Northeastern University
btusmith212_at_attbi.com

and

Sarika Chandra, University of Florida

CALL FOR PAPERS

SARGASSO, a Journal of Caribbean Literature, Language, and Culture
Edited at the University of Puerto Rico, Río Piedras, Department of English
Deadline: November 22, 2003

SARGASSO is now accepting submissions and book reviews for an upcoming issue
to be entitled "Creolistics and Creole Exceptionalism: Linguistics and
Caribbean Languages."

Research on the languages of the Greater Caribbean is a field of inquiry
that has always been and continues to be shaped by knowledge production in
other areas. One of the most provocative assertions made in recent years
concerning the study of Caribbean languages is the notion of Creole
Exceptionalism (cf. DeGraff). This concept exposes the ideological
environment from which the idea of a Creole emerges. It is a concept that
has potential implications for virtually every line of research within
Creolistics. The SARGASSO editorial committee is seeking submissions which,
either explicitly or implicitly, engage the idea of Creole Exceptionalism.
We welcome work by graduate students and researchers who recently have been
awarded doctoral degrees, as one of the goals of this issue is to encourage,
bring together, and promote new and fresh perspectives.

We invite contributions on a variety of topics; these include but are not
limited to:

Language Acquisition, Creole Genesis, Perceptual Dialectology, Substrate &
Superstrate Influences, Formalism vs. Functionalism, Pragmatics, Discourse
Analysis, TMA, Phonology, Syntax, The Use of Creole in Caribbean Literary
Discourse, Postcolonial Approaches to Language, Sociolinguistics, The
History of Creolistics, Language Planning, Language Shift, Standardization,
Grammaticalization

Essay submissions should be 10-15 pages in length and double-spaced. With
essays, please include an abstract of 120 words or less. Reviews should be
approximately 1,000 words. Books for review need not focus specifically on
the Caribbean but should be published in 2001 or later and be pertinent to
the study of Creoles and / or other Caribbean languages. Submissions are
accepted in English, French, Papiamentu, or Spanish.

Essays and reviews should conform to APA guidelines or to the MLA style
guide. Electronic submissions as attachments in Word, WordPerfect or Rich
Text Format are appreciated. Papers sent through the postal system should
include a SASE and a copy in RTF format on diskette.
Electronic submissions, inquiries, and other questions should be mailed to:

Special Issue of "Film & History: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Film and
TV Studies" [www.filmandhistory.org]

LATIN AMERICA ON FILM

Throughout its history Latin America has witnessed a conflict of ideologies.
Concordantly, the challenges of treating Latin American history on film has
incited dialogue and debate among scholars from divergent disciplines.

How can and should filmmakers treat aspects of Latin America on film? Who
has an ³authentic voice² in such treatments and through which sorts of
aesthetics? What levels of political identification are created by the
spectatorship of such films? Does Latin America begin and end with the
borders between the United States and Mexico and include Central and South
America, or are such traditional and state-mandated geographic
representations culturally and socially delimiting? And in what ways do
particular films help give shape to the history of Latin America?

The interdisciplinary journal "Film & History" seeks submissions for two
special issues focused on discussions of filmic treatments of Latin America.
The topic will be approached broadly, with submissions welcomed on
non-fiction, avant-garde, and feature film and television, as well as
historical or comparative discussions of filmic representations of and
identifications with Latin America.

Essays might discuss documentary films, such as ³The Brickmakers² (1968),
³Senorita Extraviada² (2001), Cuban revolutionary films and television
documentaries. Relevant dramatizations include ³Like Water for Chocolate²
(1992), ³El Norte² (1983), ³The Courage of the People² (1971), ³Camila²
(1984), and other pertinent features. Films such as ³The Hour of the
Furnaces² (1968), ³Recuerdos de los Flores Muertes² (1982), ³La Ofrenda: Day
of the Dead² (1989), among others suggest the possibility that Latin
American cinema transcends and/or melds traditional genres and incorporates
new technologies into new conceptions of film narrative-making.

Examples of possible synthetic essays might include the filmic treatment of
Latin America in specific historical periods (e.g., 1960s, 1980s), in
specific countries (e.g., Argentina, Brazil, Mexico), by specific filmmakers
(e.g., Alfonso Arau, Tomas Gutierrez Alea, Glauber Rocha). Essays may make
reference to specific aesthetic and theoretical issues, including but not
limited to interpretations of an ³Aesthetics of Hunger² (1965, Rocha), a
³Third Cinema² (1968, Solonas and Gettino), and an ³Imperfect Cinema² (1987,
Espinosa). Historical analyses also might focus on the use of visual
evidence for historical understanding and accuracy, whereas media analyses
might discuss the verification of such visual evidence and the techniques of
presentation.

"Film & History" has been published since the establishment of the
Historians Film Committee by John E. O'Conner and Martin A. Jackson in 1970.
This affiliated committee of the American Historical Association encourages
the use of film sources in teaching and research through the publication of
this journal and related scholarly activities. Peter Rollins of Oklahoma
State University has edited the journal since 1994. More information on this
semi-annual journal and its related activities can be found at the website,
<www.filmandhistory.org>.

Questions about this special issue may be directed to the Special Issues¹
Editors Michael K. Schoenecke (mkschoene_at_aol.com) and Scott L. Baugh
