Dr. Nibedita Mukherjee

No Contribution/Subscription fees. Papers will be accepted and published free of cost and only on the basis of quality and each contributor will get a free complimentary copy from publisher

This session seeks papers that explore how texts from a variety of literary genres helped to produce the chivalric identities so important to medieval culture. Scholars of late medieval chivalry (both historians and literary critics) concentrate primarily on the way that formal apprenticeship and other masculine, courtly curricula produced and maintained chivalric identities.

FOREIGN LANGUAGE FILM CONFERENCE VI

"TRAVEL"

LOUISIANA STATE UNIVERSITY
31 OCTOBER-3 NOVEMBER 2013

Submissions are invited for the sixth Foreign Language Film Conference, on the theme of Travel. Scholars from all disciplines are invited to consider questions of travel, movement, location, and travellers in cinematic traditions. How does cinema represent the history, processes, and problematics of moving from one place to another? How does global cinema reflect and articulate the experience of travelling through a world that is increasingly borderless? On the pedagogical side, how do these films prompt classroom discussions of globalization, cultural adaptation, practical necessities, and personal discovery?

The Americas encompass a rich tradition of mythology, folklore, and legends. This panel explores the construction (and reconstruction) of cultural and national identity through myth, legend, and folklore in the literature, history, and oral traditions of the Americas up to 1860 (or so). Papers from all disciplines are welcome.

This is a special session at the 111th Annual Conference of the Pacific Ancient and Modern Language Association in San Diego, CA, Nov. 1-3, 2013.

Please submit a proposal on the PAMLA website under the "Early American Myths, Legends, and Folklore" heading, the following links directly to appropriate page:

CFP: Fourteenth International Diversity in Organizations, Communities and Nations Conference
Location: Vienna, Austria
Date: 9-11 July 2014

Studia Neophilologica publishes articles on English, German and the Romance languages and literatures, and reviews of books in these fields.

The contributions represent both historically oriented research and synchronic and structural studies, and the journal is not limited to any particular linguistic or literary period. Many articles concern methodological questions within the fields of general linguistics and literary theory. The majority of the contributions, however, investigate specific linguistic problems or deal with specific literary texts.

The journal thus covers a wide and diversified field in its attempt to mirror the problems that concern today's researchers in the fields of English, German and Romance studies.
