CFP: Sixteenth Century Society & Conference
Baltimore, MD – 26/29 October 2023
Sports and Games in the Renaissance
A transdisciplinary PG research conference at Glasgow University and online, 12-13th June 2023
ʻAn encounter is perhaps the same thing as a becoming [...] You encounter people [...] movements, ideas, events, entities [...] It designates an effect, a zigzag, something which passes or happens between two as though under a potential difference [...] a single becoming which is not common to the two [...] but which is between the two, which has its own direction, a bloc of becoming, an a-parallel evolution.ʼ
Gilles Deleuze and Claire Parnet, Dialogues II: 6
Retro-futuristic Visions: Looking Back to Look Forward. The 2nd International Academic Conference of Yoobee College of Creative Innovation
Event Dates: 25 – 27 October 2023, Wellington, New Zealand
Abstract Submission Deadline: 30 June 2023
Migration has become a global phenomenon that indicates complexity and diversity. The mobility of people has also influenced how texts are migrated through translation and how it could influence cultural production. Translation, which facilitates “communication, understanding, and action between persons or groups who differ in language and culture” (Bassnett 5), plays a vital role in the migration diaspora. Texts like people, want to seek new opportunities, they search for a new life in a new place and time, as Moira Inghilleri points out in her book entitled Translation and Migration published in 2017, migration is a “continuous becoming”, it “necessitates movement” (1 & 3).

“Ah! How cheerfully we consign ourselves to perdition!” exclaims Ishmael in Melville’s Moby-Dick, lamenting the “universal thump” of work that we tolerate only for the promise of “being paid.” Ishmael makes it clear that work—and its compensation—is full of paradox and contradiction, an ambivalent source of enjoyment and suffering incompletely rationalized by a financial transaction.
Proposals are sought for an edited collection of essays entitled Teens on Screens in the 21st Century, on the representation of teenagers in screen media that have appeared since 2000. The resulting book will be intended for college and graduate students as well as academic libraries, and will be published by an academic press (one has already expressed interest). No single essay should exceed 8,000 words (including notes) and essays in the range of 5,000-7,000 words would be ideal. Citations and references should follow the Chicago Manual of Style.
Time and Temporality in Medieval and Early Modern Jewish Interfaith Cultural Encounters
Association for Jewish Studies 55th Annual Conference, Dec 17-19, 2023, San Francisco, CA
Modern life has become defined in many ways by our digital experiences, and it is in this technological environment that a retreat to an idealized version of the past has been increasingly realized and depicted through social media. The distinctive aesthetics of cottagecore, dark and light academia, and vintage movements represent creative cross sections through which individuals blend pop culture, literature, fantasy, art, and lifestyle elements in an often fantastical, romanticized, or idealized version of the past—one inherently informed by and expressed through a modern, digital present.
We are soliciting book chapters for a volume under contract with Oxford University Press, The Oxford Handbook of African American Humor Studies.

Editor’s Introduction
Proposals on any topic related to Shakespeare are welcome, though we specifically seek proposals that engage with the 2023 MMLA [Midwest Modern Language Association] theme of “Going Public.” What might Shakespeare have to say about democracy, power, and our current political moment? What were Shakespeare’s “publics” and how might they help us think about our current moment? How “democratic” are performances of Shakespeare today and are there models for how to make it more relevant and accessible?

Beginnings: New Approaches in Creative Writing,
Literary Studies, and Pedagogy
September 28-30, 2023
University of South Dakota (Vermillion, SD)
Short Abstract:
The multiplicity of gender has been a feature of many cultures throughout history, but its meaning and application have varied widely. The panel examines the coloniality/neo-coloniality, and the charges thereof, of the "third-gender" category by tracing its development across a variety of local contexts and times. We invite papers that examine how local formulations of gender intersect with, transform, and assimilate third-ness as an intelligible form of gender.
Long Abstract:
Many academic institutions have been evaluating their diversity and inclusion statements. At the department level, several faculty members recognize that their curriculum also needs to be evaluated.

Call For Papers
Call for book chapters in an edited volume: Human Rights and IndianLiterary Communities
This collection undertakes various explorations about the role of literary (and related cultural) communities in the acknowledgement and understanding of human rights bearing subjects. Can literary texts highlight and empathise with those on the social margins as legal subjects possessing rights? Do texts also recognise and challenge the contours of human rights? Can literary communities help imagine and reimagine the outlines of those deemed human and therefore capable of being human rights bearing citizens?

Editors: Dr. George Sieg & Michael Barros
