Modernist Misogynies
 
This panel will address the various roles misogyny plays in the formation of
modernism, in particular texts, in the broader cultural movement, and in
subsequent canon-formation.
 
Possible topics might include:
-What forms does misogyny take in work by modernist writers, particularly or
generally, and how does misogyny during the modernist period differ from
that expressed in other historical periods?
-How have and how should feminists respond to or redefine the modernist
canon?
-Are there modernist masculinities that do NOT depend on renouncing or
otherwise vilifying the feminine?

CFP: Collaboration and the Writing Workshop (4/9/07; CCCC, 4/2/08-4/5/08)

Dvornik, Christine

Call for papers: Collaboration and the Writing Workshop CCCC 2008

The small group workshop holds promise in that by sharing work with peers, students world-views are expanded. In brining together different people, backgrounds, and experiences, the successful small group workshop bridges the private and the public and establishes a new sense of reality for students. Yet, often times the workshop is used by instructors and students with little positive effect. Theorists seem to have figured out the theoretical implications of pedagogy of collaboration, but today we find ourselves requiring and employing workshops out of habit that don't seem to be very productive.

Whether it is the invented spellings rapidly typed with thumbs into a phone

SOUNDINGS: An Interdisciplinary Journal invites article submissions on the
notion of "practice" from across the disciplines. Contemporary social
theorists often invoke notions of practice and tradition to explain the
regularity and continuity of social behavior. Yet, these practices remain
mysterious, and many claim, lack a firm theoretical foundation. SOUNDINGS is
seeking articles which engage practice theory from an interdisciplinary
perspective with a special emphasis on the ways in which practice theory might
illuminate understandings of moral and political values.

Dear Colleague,

I would like to encourage you to submit a proposal for the session
entitled "Practical Approaches to Teaching Film", which I will be
chairing this year at the 61st Annual Rocky Mountain Modern Language
Association convention. This session dedicated to using film in the
classroom has met with great enthusiasm in the past and led to a
fruitful exchange of ideas among teachers from a wide range of
institutions. =20
