Asian American Literature: Discourses and Pedagogies Special Issue

It especially welcomes contributions that highlight reading and pedagogical approaches designed to address the relationship between Asian American literary and popular visual culture.

[UPDATE] "Lost in Transnationalism: Reflections on Multiculturalism and Globalization" October 26th, 2012

updated: 
Thursday, July 12, 2012 - 4:31pm
Claremont Graduate University, California

Transnationalism, the heightened interconnection between people and cultures, is a burgeoning social phenomenon. In our age of increasing globalization, the mixing and shifting of identities has become pervasive. Through global interconnectivity and the interdependence of economic, media, and social factors, boundaries among nation-states have become less distinct, leading to a formation of hybrid cultures. From neoliberal practices to telecommunication, the shape and dissemination of transnationalism has diffused.

Mutatis Mutandis

Call for Papers: Translations, Interpretations, Reinterpretations
Translation is continuously opening perspectives for the source text in its different interpretive steps. The methodology of translation activity, basically comparative–source text and target text go backwards and forward−, leads the work to new presences inside the same language−intralinguistique translation−, toward other languages−traducción interlinguistique translation−, between different sytems of expression −intersemiotic translation−. Authors are invited to present their current translated texts and research studies for the next issue of Mutatis Mutandis.

The Influence of Tony Kushner on 21st Century Drama

updated: 
Thursday, July 12, 2012 - 12:45pm
Southern Atlantic Modern Language Association

Almost twenty years ago Tony Kushner raised the rafters with his epic Angels in America and this gave just cause for playwrights to recognize that Kushner was now the new benchmark and, as Arthur Miller said, attention must be paid. The HBO televised Angels gave many admirers and aspirers an opportunity to see the play more so than even its many nationwide productions. The influence of Kushner and his plays has reached into the context and subtext of a mindset that reconsidered what plays can do as art, and as socio-political activism reflected in both traditional and tradition-defying new drama.

Kalamazoo 2013 CFP: Editing Ælfric: Problems, solutions, and ideas for a new Lives of Saints (roundtable)

updated: 
Thursday, July 12, 2012 - 11:08am
Grant Simpson

Most scholars who work with Ælfric's Lives of Saints agree that it is time for a new scholarly edition. The current one, edited by W.W. Skeat, is inadequate for a number of reasons. At our session at ICMS 2012, a number of scholars expressed interest in having a new edition that was based on modern editing standards and made use of contemporary tools. It is clear that such an edition will be a collaborative effort. in that vein, this session will bring together interested parties to present concrete problems, solutions, and ideas with regard to editing and building a new Lives of Saints.
