Keeping in mind the increasing popularity and academic importance of literature(s) in translation that are either translated to or from Bengali, we, the organizers are introducing an add-on course focusing on both kinds of translation. Besides offering theoretical discussions on such translations (primarily through the lens of Translation Studies), this course will give the participants an opportunity to interact with renowned translators and academicians who have kindly agreed to share their expertise on the aesthetics, politics, challenges, and opportunities of translating to and from Bengali, using a “case-study based approach”.

When Emily Dickinson writes that “Hope is the thing with feathers – / That perches in the Soul –” she links the emotion to lyric indomitability. For Czeslaw Milosz hope is “with you when you believe / The earth is not a dream but living flesh,” that is, when dreams surprisingly come true.

Humanities Bulletin, an open-access, peer-reviewed journal in the field of Arts and Humanities, invites submissions of paper proposals for its Special Issue scheduled for November 2025.

Not Without Laughter: Tracing Humour in African American Literature Across the Ages

Many philosophers, from Aristotle to Hobbes, Freud to Schopenhauer, Spencer to Peter McGraw, have given interesting insights on matters concerning humour, comedy, and laughter. While the classical theories of humour, namely the superiority theory, the incongruity theory, and the relief theory, discuss the fundamental nature of humour, its evolved forms, such as the benign violation theory, provide a more compact version of the same. Nevertheless, humour is pervasive and can be witnessed in all aspects of life.

The GPA is accepting submissions for a special edition of The Journal of the Georgia Philological Association on the 19th century.  Papers focused on literature, language, composition, history, philosophy, translation, the general humanities, interdisciplinary studies, and pedagogy as they relate to the 19th century will be considered.

Please send submissions to Nate Gilbert, Editor-in-Chief, at jgpasubmissions@gmail.com by April 30, 2025.
