[UPDATE] Trauma Theory -l Panel for ALA Boston 2015 - Due 1/20/15

Ashley N. Doonan / University of New Hampshire

Dear Colleagues,

I am seeking fellow panelists to present on at the ALA on trauma--from psychological perspectives to literary trauma theory. The work that I aim to present is focused on vicarious trauma--a trauma transmitted but not experienced directly.

Submissions need not be more than 300-500 words and may be emailed to me directly, titled "ALA Boston Trauma Theory Panel."

I also have an excellent chair for the panel; a professor who has done a great deal of trauma theory in her dissertation.

Please feel free to contact me with further queries.

Some would argue that performance has always been social. The origins of Western performance are often charted through rituals, liturgy, mysteries, and morality plays, and Eastern performance through folklore, poetry, music, and dance. The popularity of plays by Kalidasa, Gao Ming, Shakespeare, Moliere, and others, in their times and beyond it, has depended in part on their ability to represent the social in ways that resonate for audiences today.

"Lord Byron and Rights" (NASSR Special Session, Sponsored by The Byron Society of America)

Tuesday, December 30, 2014 - 4:18pm
NASSR, The Byron Society of America

Lord Byron was a passionate and life-long defender of people's rights. In the House of Lords he argued for the right of Catholics to be represented in parliament; in his personal correspondence he supported writers' claims to copyright over their own works; and in a decision that led to his death, he travelled to Greece to help the Greeks realize their right to become an independent nation. His preoccupation with rights extended to his poetic works, too. For example, in Sardanapalus, the misguided but well-meaning titular leader laments "To me war is no glory—conquest no / Renown. To be forced thus to uphold my right / Sits heavier on my heart than all the wrongs / These men would bow me down with" (4.1.5.505-8).

CALL FOR PAPERS

Dangerous Spaces

"Places are fragmentary and inward-turning histories, pasts that others are not allowed to read, accumulated times that can be unfolded but like stories held in reserve, remaining in an enigmatic state, symbolizations encysted in the pain or pleasure of he body. 'I feel good here': the well-being under-expressed in the language it appears in like a fleeting glimmer is a spatial practice." --Michel de Certeau, The Practice of Everyday Life

Special Issue: Corporations and Culture

Power, in Case's world, meant corporate power. The zaibatsus, the multinationals that shape the course of human history, had transcended old barriers. Viewed as organisms, they had attained a kind of immortality. You couldn't kill a zaibatsu by assassinating a dozen key executives; there were others waiting to step up the ladder, assume the vacated position, access the vast banks of corporate memory. —William Gibson, Neuromancer (1984)
