The editors of the Transformations Journal are pleased to announce the publication of Issue 14 - March 2007:

ACCIDENTAL ENVIRONMENTS

"The Accident is not an exception or a sickness of our apolitical regimes; nor it is a correctable defect of our civilization: it is the natural consequence of our science, our politics, and our morality."
-- Octavio Paz, Conjunctions and Disjunctions.

*"Un(bound): the Humanities in Transition*

Keynote Speaker: Dr. Haun Saussy

Professor of Comparative Literature, Yale University

In the age of globalism, the humanities have become the place for forming
new pathways that connect academic disciplines and refashion curricular
boundaries. Rapid change calls upon the scholar to embody a new spirit of
trans/inter-disciplinarity, leading to scholarship that detects and crosses
geographical and disciplinary divisions.

Midwest Modern Language Association
49th Annual Convention: "Revisiting Realisms"
November 8-11, 2007, Cleveland, Ohio
 
Canadian Literature Section: The Canadian Nation(s)
 
Thomas King has called the border delimiting the boundaries of the Canadian nation "an imaginary line...a political line, that border line. It wasn't there before the Europeans came. It was a line that was inscribed across the country after that." This panel will explore how literatures written in and about Canada seek to define, question, or contest the idea of the Canadian nation(s), or engage with the notion of a Canadian literary canon. Papers on Quebecois, First Nations, and diasporic nationalisms in Canada are particularly encouraged.
