Jonathan Bayliss Society
deadline for submissions: 
Saturday, January 25, 2025

The Jonathan Bayliss Society invites proposals for a roundtable on American experimental fiction. Beginning at least as early as Moby-Dick, American experimental fiction flourishes in the work of Stein, Burroughs, Pynchon, Gass, and Bayliss, and continues today with such writers as Giannina Braschi, Karen Russell, Colson Whitehead, Lance Olsen, and Mark Danielewski. Such writers disrupt conventions of genre, style, syntax, diction, propriety, narrative form, page layout, and much more. We are interested in papers devoted to particular works or authors as well as more wide-ranging or theoretical approaches to the topic.

LAST CALL: New Perspectives on Maria von Herbert’s 1792-94 Correspondence with Immanuel Kant (ASECS, panel)

updated: 
Sunday, September 29, 2024 - 7:37am
American Society of Eighteenth-Century Studies (ASECS) (Annual Convention, On-line, March 28-29 and April 4-5, 2025, https://asecs.org)

Wednesday, October 2, 2024

Maria von Herbert’s 1792-94 correspondence with Immanuel Kant—arising out of her despair and suicidal ideation, coupled with her commitment of his philosophical perspective, including his famously uncompromising prohibition of suicide—has enjoyed increasingly careful attention in the roughly forty years now since Beverley Brown and Rae Langton’s invitations to this effect, in the mid-eighties and early-nineties—most recently as the subject of the annual Kant Reading Party at the University of St Andrews, in July and August of 2023, out of which a volume of new translations and critical materials will soon emerge.

EXTENDED LAST CALL: Terrence Malick’s filmography at Fifty Plus (NeMLA, panel)

Northeast Modern Language Association (NeMLA) (Annual Convention, Philadelphia, March 6-9, 2025, https://www.buffalo.edu/nemla.html)

Tuesday, October 15, 2024

Famed and enigmatic filmmaker Terrence Malick’s remarkable filmography turned fifty recently. It begins with Badlands, that is, which appeared on October 15, 1973, followed five years later by Days of Heaven (1978). He returns after a twenty-five year hiatus with a triptych of literary and historical adaptations, including The Thin Red Line (1998), The New World (2005), and The Tree of Life (2011).

EXTENDED LAST CALL: Don DeLillo’s White Noise at Forty (Don DeLillo Society Session) (NeMLA, roundtable)

deadline for submissions: 
Tuesday, October 15, 2024

NeMLA meets next during the fortieth anniversary of Don DeLillo’s celebrated novel, White Noise (1985). His ninth of eighteen, it begins the two periods that make up the work for which he is best known—the first including Libra (1988), Mao II (1991), and Underworld (1997), the second The Body Artist (2001), Cosmopolis(2003), Falling Man (2007), Point Omega (2010), Zero K (2016), and The Silence (2020).

EXTENDED LAST CALL: Women’s Perspectives on Suicide (NeMLA, roundtable)

NeMLA meets next during the centennial of Virginia Woolf’s Mrs Dalloway and the sesquicentennial of Leo Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina’s initial serialization. Central to both storylines is their eponymous characters’ differing relationships to suicide. From a less literary perspective, the moment comes relatively quick on the heels of the US Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, on June 24, 2022, undermining reproductive rights by undermining substantive due process rights generally, and so also euthanasic rights. The convergence is an auspicious occasion to explore women’s historical, literary, and philosophical perspectives on suicide.

All disciplines, methods, and perspectives welcome.

deadline for submissions: 
Friday, January 10, 2025

The George Saunders Society invites prospective participants for one or two panels at the 2025 American Literature Association conference in Boston, MA, to be held May 21 to 25, 2025. We are interested in presentations on any aspect of George Saunders’s life and work; in this, our fifth year of activity at ALA (returning after an absence in 2024!), we continue to be interested in papers that challenge, complicate, or go beyond the most common (particularly religious, ethical, or new sincerest) readings of the author’s work in the critical literature to this point. The topic is therefore open, but possible approaches might include:
