Adaptation
Saint Louis University—Madrid April 21-22
Adaptation is a term that bridges the divide between literature and evolution. Texts are adapted to speak to new circumstances as time advances and younger writers, directors, actors, artists, and audiences seek connections to a mutable culture. Likewise, organisms adapt over generations to better suit their circumstance.

This special session panel, for the 2024 MLA in Philadelphia, PA, will reflect on how performativity, acting, and theatre appear in writing. When we consider the novel, especially, how does theatre show its impact on authors and how do authors invoke theatrical performance or acting in a non-visual form? For texts with visual components, such as manga or illustrated stories, how do the images interface with the text to create an experience of performance for readers? When we see the theatre itself appear in literature, what is its role? When we see an amateur performance, such as Lovers' Vows in Austen's Mansfield Park, what does that say about how theatre is constructed in Austen's understanding of society?

Call for Book Chapters
I am seeking proposals for essays to be included in a proposed volume exploring conceptualizations and representations of Queenship as a dramatic role or performance. In bringing together essays from different disciplinary perspectives, that focus on particular Queen or a group of them, on particular actors or other aspects of performance the volume aims to create a clearer picture of what it has meant to ‘play the part’ of Queen at different times, in different places, and across different media and contexts to shed light on the ways in which the office of Queenship in practice in real historical situations has been culturally understood, interpreted and re-interpreted.

2023 marks the anniversaries of Jerzy Grotowski's 90th birthday and Krystian Lupa's 80th birthday. On this occasion, Pamiętnik Teatralny, a bilingual Polish-English academic quarterly, invites scholars to reflect on the international presence of these two Polish directors in different cultural contexts around the world.
Updated Call for Chapter contributions to proposed book on The Who’s Tommy:
See Me, Feel Me, Touch Me, Heal Me: Tommy, Rock Opera and Twentieth Century Britain
Edited by Keith Gildart, Christopher Weedman and Benjamin Halligan
Chapter proposals are sought for a volume of critical essays on Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman. Proposed chapters should ideally also connect to contemporary lives of the play, adaptations, both on stage and screen, influence on later works, translations, and/or connections with cultural studies' paradigms. The target readership for the volume includes teachers/instructrors, and students, which should bear upon the accessibility and adaptability of the essays themselves.

“Il Parlaggio” is the name created by Gabriele d’Annunzio for the amphitheatre in Vittoriale – a place of empathy, a cradle of emotions, a crossroads of cultures, a connection between antiquity and contemporaneity, an emblem of the “neverending show”.
Please send 250-word abstracts for roundtable presentations to be delivered at the 2024 MLA National Convention in Philadephia, PA (Jan 4-7, 2024) to Susie Nakley, snakley@sjny.edu and Ruen-chuan Ma, RMa@uvu.edu by March 17, 2023.

the Black Theatre Review (tBTR) is a biannual online, peer-reviewed journal published by the Black Theatre Network (BTN). BTN is dedicated to the exploration and preservation of the theatrical visions of the African Diaspora. The goal of tBTR is to explore the scholarship, history, and performance of Black peoples and cultures wherever they are expressed throughout the world.
tBTR is accepting submissions for tBTR’s second publication, Vol. 2 No. 1, to be published in July of 2023.
Since their inception dating back to as early as 1829, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) have continuously represented the notion of possibility and hope for African Americans. As an initial action, these organizations emphasized the educational improvement of Blacks at the elementary and secondary levels. Since the creation of the first HBCU, these institutions of academic excellence have transformed exclusively into postsecondary institutions, ultimately forming a network where thousands of African descendants could obtain an education that they otherwise could not afford due to years of educational suppression and segregation in higher education.
CALL FOR CHAPTERS
August Wilson in Context
Edited by Khalid Y. Long and Isaiah Matthew Wooden
Guest editors Matteo Pangallo (Virginia Commonwealth University) and Will Tosh (Shakespeare’s Globe) invite article abstracts for a proposed special issue of Shakespeare Bulletin on the use of performance in teaching Shakespeare and early modern drama in the twenty-first century. Possible article topics include, but are not limited to:
From moving statues to artificial animals to marionette performances, puppetry seems to have appeared in every sector of medieval and early modern European society. Jointed religious figures illustrated the liturgy, while dragon effigies processed through cities on feast days, and popular and courtly audiences enjoyed puppet shows of legendary and historical events. Despite the ubiquity of medieval and early modern puppets in Europe, scholarly consideration of these performing objects is often limited to case studies. Consideration of “puppetry” as a particular form with its own norms and commonalities is also uncommon, due in part to the marginal position of puppetry in Western culture.

The International Journal of Education in the Arts (IJEA) seeks scholarship and case studies for a special issue, “Issues in Teaching Theatre Design.”
