Lubovich, Maglina

We are currently soliciting abstracts for the 2007 M/MLA permanent section,
Gender Studies: Male.

This panel seeks theoretical treatments of the relationship between
men/masculinities and marriage in literature, film, drama, art and popular
culture from any historical period. We welcome papers that will complicate
our understanding of this relationship and history. Topics might include
domestic men, feminist or queer critiques of marriage, fictions of
miscegenation or anti-miscegenation, bachelors and marriage, etc.

Call for Papers: Fantasy Matters conference, November 16-18, 2007
University of Minnesota - Twin Cities

Submission Deadline: May 31, 2007

Fantasy literature is everywhere these days. Whether it's Eragon at the box
office or the latest Harry Potter at the bookstore, fantasy literature
seems to have captured the public's imagination and run away with it. In
spite of, or perhaps because of this popularity, however, fantasy
literature still isn't taken as seriously as other, more "canonical"
literature.

Re-Mapping Cities: Gendered Performances of Urban Lives

V.G. Julie Rajan, Ph.D., and Caterina Romeo, Ph.D., eds.

Transnational movements and migrations have increasingly renegotiated notions of national territory and migrant identity. In some contexts, nations have represented migrants as enemies of national identity in the attempt to subdue the nationalistic anxiety that has arisen from the presumed necessity to protect a territory. In turn, migrants have resisted that marginalization and have imposed new cartographies onto the territories they have come to inhabit.
