Vernon Press invites chapter proposals for the collected work, Moving in with Trauma, edited by Michelle Zheng. This edited volume aims to broach the topic of living with Trauma to ask the question - We have always lived with Trauma, but how do we embrace Trauma into our lives?

This is an ongoing call for chapter abstracts pursuant to a book proposal which I have discussed with an acquisition’s editor at the University of Amsterdam Press.

I am looking for medievalists interested in contributing chapters for an edited volume which will investigate the uses of gold, glittering, and shining imagery in Early English texts.

Dear all, We would like to share with you the call for contributions to be published in the Special Section and in the General Section of the 35th issue (Sept 2024) of RSAJournal, the Journal of the Italian Association for North American Studies (AISNA). The General Section accepts full contributions on any topic pertaining to American Studies, to be submitted through 

Our meeting will be devoted to exploring the main problems of contemporary literary culture. Embracing the foundational principles of Stefan Żółkiewski and equally foundational, though alternative, suggestions by Janusz Sławiński, we perceive it as an integral part of global social/cultural communication (the roles of writers, models, and the circulation of literature) along with specialized infrastructure (publishing, institutions, magazines/media, the literary market – the so-called literary life). It is also a dynamic system of author-reader relations and a set of dispositions/skills (knowledge, taste, competence) enabling a sense-making engagement with literary texts.

CALL FOR ABSTRACTS: Representation of Diversity in Mediated Popular Culture in the Twenty First Century.

Keynote speakers:
Nicola Abram (University of Reading, UK) Suzanne Scafe (University of Brighton, UK) Josh Toth (MacEwan University, CA)

Venue: Kaaistudio’s, Brussels, Belgium 24-26 April 2024
