CFP: 2016 SMRS at Saint Louis University: "plesaunte to prynces paye": Puns and Plays on Meaning in the Pearl-poems
updated:
Friday, October 23, 2015 - 10:51am
2016 Symposium on Medieval and Renaissance Studies at Saint Louis University
Recent studies of the Pearl manuscript and its poems reveal potential for exploring new and unusual analyses of both manuscript and text. Arthur Bahr, William Storm, and others have especially suggested that poems in the Pearl-poems often reward close readings at the word and phrase level. Such readings, though some may seem unusual at first, may in fact be quite tenable in the context of each poem and of the others in the entire manuscript. Such readings can also affirm scholars' interest in puns and other forms of wordplay on the part of the poet(s) who wrote the Pearl-poems.
Update: Deadline for submissions extended to Nov. 15th, 2015

THE FANTASTIC NOW: RESEARCH IN THE FANTASTIC IN THE 21st CENTURY
updated:
Friday, October 23, 2015 - 3:10am
Association for Research in the Fantastic
There is hardly any subject in contemporary literary, cultural, and media studies that is discussed and researched with as much controversy as "the fantastic". Since theoretical debate on the subject was initiated in the second half of the 20th century, largely by Tzvetan Todorov and Roger Callois, research on the fantastic has become a globally relevant, interdisciplinary, and rapidly developing field of scholarship. The field's significance is reflected in numerous scholarly journals, associations, organizations, research projects and institutions which have focused on the fantastic.
