Vampires with "humanity switches." Witches and monster hunters who go "Dark Side." Creatures who lose, and then regain, their souls. Aliens "passing" as humans. Over the years, the WB and CW networks have used science fiction and fantasy genres to explore the question, "What makes us human?" while simultaneously worrying over its inverse, "What can make us lose our humanity?"

As the oldest continuously operating African American theatre in the United States, Karamu House has been both a major player in African American theatre and a fixture of the Cleveland community. Langston Hughes, whose plays were produced there, said that Karamu was the "nearest thing" to a national African American theatre, and indeed, Karamu's history has both shaped and mirrored the larger history of black theatre in the U.S. I seek papers on any aspect of Karamu's theatrical past and present, from both scholars and practitioners.
45th Annual Convention, Northeast Modern Language Association (NeMLA)
April 3-6, 2014
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania
Host: Susquehanna University
Issue 6.1 Fall 2014:Poetry of the Years c. 1690-c. 1720
Eric Cazdyn and Imre Szeman argue in After Globalization (2011) that after 9/11, two costly wars, and a lingering economic recession, the United States is widely perceived to be "a superpower in decline." This seminar, inspired by Cazdyn and Szeman's work on anti-Americanism, considers the possibility that an interrogation of the "now near-universal political and cultural discourse" of American hegemonic power "can allow us to discover unexpected geographies of the current character of global power." While Cazdyn and Szeman question prevalent accounts of the United States as an anxious superpower through analyses of nonfiction and interviews with students from across the globe, this seminar asks whether and how a similar end might be pursued through textu
I am looking for fellow Richard Brautigan scholars for fill out a panel for the American Literature Association's conference in May in Washington, DC. You can be working on any aspect of Brautigan's fiction or poetry, although I prefer work to be about something other than _Trout Fishing in America_ (although I won't turn down submissions about that!). I'm looking to start an author society through ALA for Brautigan and really need people to step up and help me. Email me with any questions you might have.
