Dear all,

The Journal Revista Alicantina de Estudios Ingleses (RAEI) seeks
submissions for the forthcoming special issue on "New Literatures in
English". The aim of this collection of essays is to explore the
different labels that have been used within the fields of the so-called
Postcolonial Studies, Commonwealth Studies and, more recently, New
Literatures in English. We particularly welcome scholarly manuscripts
both on creative writing and theoretical debates dealing with the
following topics:

-Nation, migration, diaspora

-Gender

-Ethnicity

-Cultural identity

-Globalization

-Use of literary genres

Call for Abstracts

Essay Collection Geomodernisms: 'Race,' Modernism, Modernity
This collection seeks a select group of essays that interpret modernism as
one phenomenon of an uneven modernity, that is, a modernism emerging at
different times and places within such contradictory forces as technology,
diaspora, global capitalism, nationalism, and poly-lingualism. We are
especially seeking essays that probe the interlocking of cultural
aesthetics and geo-politics, taking into consideration the local and global
dimensions of a particular modernism.
