Transatlantic Fiction, Transatlantic Readers:
The Audience for the Novel in the US and Britain 1750-1860

Panel proposal for Reception Study Society Conference, Kansas City, MO, 9/27
- 9/29/2007

        The audience for the novel in English in the period 1750-1860 was
global, a result of the Anglophonic diaspora around the Atlantic basin. Yet
it remains to be demonstrated whether and how this fact influenced
individual writers or how best to understand the ways geography, nation,
gender, race, and class produced specific communities of readers-and to what
extent such communities for Anglophonic novels could be considered
transnational.

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?

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.
