7th International Conference: “Literature of the Classics or the Classics in Literature: Classical Presences in Portuguese-Speaking Literatures”

December 4-6, 2023 | School of Arts and Humanities, University of Lisbon

The world of creative writing is torn by competing imperatives. On one hand, there’s the insistence that fiction, creative nonfiction, and storytelling are inseparable from the work of civic engagement and public discourse, as urged by a pantheon of writers including Toni Morrison, Salman Rushdie, James Baldwin, Robert Penn Warren, and others. On the other hand, creative writers are often urged against tethering their fiction and creative nonfiction to overt political agendas: it is on these didactic grounds that John Banville once insisted that the political sensibility that made George Orwell a deft satirist muddled his skill as a fiction writer.

Essays on Indie Tabletop Roleplaying Games

This edited collection will be a part of McFarland & Company, Inc.’s Studies in Gaming series. It will be peer reviewed.

The growing number of singles globally and increased attention that is paid to them within academia, public domain and popular culture has reignited many debates with regard to theory, methodology and practice thereby highlighting multiple contestations and lacunae within structural frameworks that require interrogation from new perspectives and methodologies. In the light of the above, we can ask what does it mean to be non-partnered when viewed from a normative lens that prioritizes cishet families and compulsory coupledom? 

The 5th Heidelberg Graduate Students Conference in English Studies will take place on June 2-3, both in person and online.

The conference offers 11 panels on a diverse range of subjects including (but not limited to) variational linguistics and language change, gender studies, urban studies, ecocriticism, speculative fiction, AI and technology in fiction, conspiracies in fiction, and travel narratives.
