Writing Ireland: Identity, Memory, and Place

Papers are welcome on any Slavic language, literature or culture, including film and comparative literature topics.

UPDATE: I have received many innovative proposals so far, but several key authors I would like to see included remain unclaimed, such as J.R.R. Tolkien, Diana Wynne Jones, J.K. Rowling, Madeleine L'Engle, Ursula Le Guin, Terry Pratchett, and Suzanne Collins, among a few others. Also please note that depending on the submissions, I may expand the “Pathfinders” section to include Victorian fantasy (i.e., George MacDonald, William Morris, etc.) as an additional precursor to modern fantasy. There is also a strong possibility I will add a new section for “Fantasy on Film.” If you have an interest in any of these categories, or those below (see full CFP), please contact me at the email address provided.

We are seeking papers that explore or analyze French cultural aesthetics of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries as they relate to various interpretations of modernism.
