Romantic-era approaches to popular belief, from the philosophical to the sociological, had different ways of framing the “common.” Common beliefs might be framed as ordinary, intuitive, or rooted in common sentiment; or might in contrast suggest vulgar or popular belief, as in the category of “popular superstitions.” This panel will look at Romantic-era constructions of common or popular belief, with topics that might include (but are not limited to): “Common Sense” philosophy and intuitive belief; popular religion; folklore and supernatural beliefs; cultures of popular magic; or other approaches to “traditional” belief.

Deep Time in Irish Literature, Culture, Media, and the Arts

Topics across genres and time periods may include the human and nonhuman, periodization and cosmic/ancestral time, Irish legend and folklore in deep time, traditions of prehistory, seeds, agriculture, stones, gems, the bog and bog bodies, fossils, climate change, and the anthropocene.

Advertorial

Conference Dates: April 23-25, 2025

The “Hotels, Inns and Motels” International Conference in Toulouse invites scholars to reflect upon the way places of temporary hospitality have structured space and displacements in English-speaking countries and therefore reveal the stakes and forms of hospitality. From medieval inns to the motel chains dotting the endless US interstate landscapes, these spaces offer a temporary home to their dwellers, and perform commercial, social, political and symbolic functions that so far have not been studied thoroughly.

The aim of the conference is to explore how these places, and the people who designed them, work or live there, can reflect or create conceptions of hospitality that provide insight into a given society or a period.

Laughter and Medicine

We invite proposals for contributions to an edited volume exploring the interfaces between laughter and medicine. Developing from a British Academy/Wellcome Trust-funded conference held at the University of Birmingham in November 2024, this volume will put the medical humanities in dialogue with healthcare provision and the medical sciences so as to bridge the divides between the clinic, the laboratory, cultural history, literature, and the arts in Western cultures from the classical period to the present day. 

The Nagoya Gifu Chapter of JALT (Japan Association for Language Teaching) is seeking papers on EFL (English as a foreign language) topics. We are a double-blind, peer-reviewed journal.
