H_NGM_N, an online journal of poetry & poetics, is currently looking for
critical essays or personally appreciative accounts that deal with the
history of any particular, & particularly influential, literary journal.

Essays can confine their scope to particular runs of the given journal
(year or years, volume #, editor) but should include appropriate
historical background as well as an articulation of the aesthetics of
the journal & its most lasting effects.

Please query the editor with the title of the journal you're interested
in as well as a brief description of what you hope to isolate in the
piece.

Medieval Disability: The body beyond the margins (Leeds, July 10-13th 2006).
 
Disability Studies, a field of inquiry rooted in disciplines as diverse as archaeology, history, literary studies and queer theory, has increasingly called for an intensified exanination of the history of disability: how it was perceived, what constituted "able-bodiedness" in different eras, the moral ramifications of disability, the growth of the culture of pity, etc. Medievalists have been slow to answer this call, despite the period's centrality in the formation of modern identities.
