Women and Turkish Shakespeares (Edited Volume)
Contact email: turkishshakespeares@gmail.com
Call for Chapters
Turkey has a long tradition of reading, translating and staging William Shakespeare’s plays as part of the country’s modernisation process. Yet, this long tradition has remained relatively obscure for the majority of both Turkish and non-Turkish academic and non-academic circles.
But Guyon all this while his booke did read,
Ne yet has ended: for it was a great
And ample volume, that doth far excead
My leasure . . . . (2.10.70.1-4)

The Forum on Seventeenth-Century English Studies (LLC 17th-Century English) invites submissions for a guaranteed session on “Early Modern Social Media.” We are particularly interested in research that addresses the power of both established and emerging media—ballads, pamphlets, newsletters, pasquinades, and so forth—to amplify the gravity of historical circumstances, harness public affect, and precipitate ideological shifts.

Revenge is Mad Hard: Fat Ham and the Question of Cultural Reclamation
Since its digital debut in April of 2021, subsequent Pulitzer win, off-Broadway run, Broadway run, and recent flurry of regional productions, Fat Ham has taken North America by storm. In re-framing the story of Hamlet from within a Black, southern family barbeque, playwright James Ijames has opened the door for questions about cultural authority, the exchange of cultural capital, mediation, storytelling and adaptation methods, the need for increased representation in canonical stories, the methods through which marginalized voices might reclaim cultural capital, and more.
Anthem Studies in Critical Literary Geography presents cutting-edge examinations of the representation of geographical phenomena across diverse historical literary genres and documents. We publish challenging, theoretically informed analyses of land-based, oceanic, meteorological, and imaginative geographical elements of texts, spanning both factual and fictional realms. Encompassing all locations – including for instance roads, fields, mountains, deserts, rivers, lakes, swamps, coastlines, seas, storm systems, planets, machine worlds and built environments – the series critically engages with the nuanced portrayal of these phenomena in fictional and non-fictional literature throughout various historical periods.
‘Wherefore to Dover?’ (King Lear)
Following the editors’ previous collaborations, Reading the Road from Shakespeare's Crossways to Bunyan’s Highways (EUP, 2020) and Reading the River in Shakespeare’s Britain (EUP, 2024), this edited collection aims to pull together new research on perceptions and representations of ports and harbours in early modern English drama.
EXTENSION OF DEADLINE On account of a technical fault on the British Shakespeare Association website that people were asked to use to submit proposals for papers at this conference, which prevented some people from making their submissions, the organizers of this conference are extending the deadline for submissions to 29 February 2024. Everything else stated below still stands.

Abstract
A little over ten years ago, in 2013, a group of postgraduate students largely based in Perth, Western Australia, came together to meet a need within the Australasian publishing market: while there were a number of high-quality postgraduate journals, none were specifically focused on the field of Medieval and Early Modern Studies. In response to this, they founded Ceræ: An Australasian Journal of Medieval and Early Modern Studies. Intended to be accessible and community building, with a focus on the digital humanities, the journal was founded on a commitment to being open-access and prioritizing graduate students’ and early career researchers’ work.
This panel and roundtable seek to investigate the value of close reading in early modern studies. Since the sunset of New Criticism’s zenith in literary studies, close reading has assumed a primarily pedagogical role. But what of its theoretical and historicist payoff? What position can close reading play in the 2024 scholarly landscape?
Papers proposed for the panel may address any aspect of close reading, from its utility for approaching particular Renaissance texts (broadly conceived), to its role amid other methodologies now in vogue, to attendant questions of early modern textual transmission and translation. Case studies are welcome, as are comparative and interdisciplinary approaches.
