Panel on Doris Lessing and Modernism, sponsored by the Doris Lessing
Society, an Allied Organization of the Modern Language Association.

=20

Beginning her career after World War II and continuing to publish up to
the present day, Doris Lessing's texts can be difficult for critics to
place. Are they modernist? Postmodern? What are Lessing's influences?
Do Lessing's texts extend the work of modernist writers like Woolf,
Joyce, Eliot, or Lawrence, or does she resist the influence of these
writers? =20

6th Global Conference
Making Sense Of: Health, Illness and Disease

Monday 9th July - Thursday 12th July 2007
Mansfield College, Oxford

Call for Papers

This inter-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary project aims to explore
the processes by which we attempt to create meaning in health, illness
and disease. The project will examine the models and metaphors we use
to understand our experiences of health and illness (looking
particularly at perceptions of the body), and to evaluate the
diversity of ways in which we creatively struggle to make sense of
such experiences and express ourselves across a range of media.

PLEASE CROSS-LIST AS APPROPRIATE

===========================================

Hello all:

As you may know, 2007 marks the bicentenary of Garibaldi's birth.
Bearing that in mind, I'm seeking papers for a panel (or panels) that
I'm proposing on "Britain, Garibaldi, & the Risorgimento" for the North
American Conference on British Studies, which meets in San Francisco
9-11 November 2007.

I'd like the panel(s) to take an interdisciplinary approach to the topic
and so, if possible, to include scholars working in such areas as Art
History/Visual Culture/Film, History, Italian Studies, Literature,
Political Science, and Sociology.

Panel Title: Hemingway as Father
MLA Conference in Chicago, December 27-30, 2007
 
Much of the existing scholarship on Hemingway and fathers focuses on his relationship or those of his young male characters to his/their father. For this panel, we invite papers that address Hemingway as father. Papers might explore topics such as Hemingway's attitudes toward fatherhood, his parenting philosophy, his relationship to his sons (real and fictional), etc. and/or Hemingway's status as a literary patriarch including but not limited to the commodification of fatherhood through Hemingway's image as "Papa."
