After some three centuries of recognised existence, the time is ripe to take a comprehensive look at the nature of African American literature. From being one aspect of the residual tradition of enslaved Africans to the distinguished corpus of literary works that are available today, it can be said that the literature has come a long way from its humble origins. Barriers peculiar to African Americans, especially racial prejudice, have been largely overcome, and a literary tradition worthy of its greatest exponents has come into being. What has been the driving force of this literature? What are the themes and motifs that shape it?
_Is it Terminal?: Reinventing the Master's Degree in English Studies_
Enrollments in MA programs across the country are up dramatically, and
non-PhD granting institutions are turning to the MA as a locus of
programmatic growth. Changes in hiring patterns at the high school and
community college level have enlivened possibilities for the MA. What
can or should the MA in English be? To what and whom is it appropriate?
What are its limitations?

Postcolonial Studies Journal: Special Issue: "Postcolonial Food"
Postcolonial Studies is calling for contributions on the topic
of 'Postcolonial Food'. An early reviewer of Claudia Roden's 1968 A Book of
Middle Eastern Food, described the text as 'a work of cultural anthropology'.
The quote is a little misleading: for Roden not only describes a set of
foreign culinary practices, she gives recipes for their recreation. Imagine of
Postcolonial Studies saw that as its mission. We have devoted a great deal of
time to the critique of representation, but rather less to the possibility of
intercultural communication, not to mention learning.

COLLECTION OF ESSAYS ON STORM JAMESON
Contributors are sought for a collection of original essays on Storm Jameson.
The deadline for 500-word abstracts is 15th May 2004.
It is intended that the volume should explore each of
the genres within which Jameson worked (novels, plays,
short stories, and literary criticism). I am particularly interested
in receiving contributions that address Jameson's fiction and literary
criticism after the 1930s and that consider the relationship of her work to that
of other women writers of her generation (Naomi Mitchison, Rose Macaulay, Sylvia
Townsend Warner, Rebecca West and others)

original fieldwork, understood in an expanded sense.

READER: Essays in Reader-Oriented Theory, Criticism and Pedagogy seeks submissions of essays for a special issue, "Ecocriticism and the Practice of Reading." We are interested in essays that explore and reflect upon reading-oriented theory and practical applications in composition and literary studies. What is the relationship between reading and ecological thinking? How does the practice of critical reading enrich the study of social and biological interrelationships? What pedagogical strategies for reading, interpreting, and analyzing texts (in and outside the classroom) contribute to the fundamental questions in reader-oriented theory, criticism and pedagogy. Why do we read? What do we read? How do we read?

MASTERS OF MAGIC: ESSAYS ON WIZARDS IN WESTERN CULTURE
Deadline for Proposals: September 15, 2004
In J. R. R. Tolkien's THE LORD OF THE RINGS, the Hobbits are warned, "Do not
meddle in the affairs of wizards"; yet, few readers today, in a time when
the wizard features so prominently in both popular culture and scholarship,
would choose to follow this admonition. Accepting this as a given, proposals
are now being accepted for an essay collection co-edited by Charlotte A. T.
Wulf and Michael A. Torregrossa and investigating the figure of the wizard
in Western culture.
