(Post) Institutionalized Feminism: Defining the ?F-word?

Stuart Hall warned against the institutionalization of feminism saying
that once incorporated into the institution it would lose its vibrant
social and political activism. bell hooks ostensibly agrees with
Hall?s assessment in the 2004 film, ?Is Feminism Dead?? This workshop
seeks to interrogate the supposed ?death? of feminism in our cultural
moment, in which both Women?s Studies departments and ?I am not a
Feminist, but. . .? figure largely. We intend to strategizing
locations for political action from academic and social perspectives
and plot a course to reinvigorate the usefulness of The F-Word.

British Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies

BSECS 37th ANNUAL CONFERENCE, 3-5 JANUARY 2008
ST. HUGH'S COLLEGE, OXFORD, U.K.

The annual meeting of the British Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies is
Europe's largest and most prestigious annual conference dealing with all
aspects of the history, literature, and culture of the long eighteenth
century.

We invite proposals for individual papers, for full panels of three papers,
and for roundtable sessions of five speakers, on any aspect of the long
eighteenth century, not only in Britain, but also throughout Europe and the
wider world.

Edited volume of essays seeks original and unpublished contributions cohering around the relationship between literature and music and its impact on the dynamics of cultural and historical memory. Possible subjects and approaches include: literary and musical texts as inherited cultural or historical artifacts; remembering, forgetting, re-invoking or repeating the past through popular, middle brow, elitist, or avant-garde artistic forms; writing and re-writing cultural or national histories through music and literature; indivdual and collective memories and their inscription in "lieux de memoires"; memorializing the lost or mourning the past in literary representation and musical expression; and so on.

Varieties of Experience: Views of the Two World Wars

The study of narratives and representations of the two World Wars has long
been a subject of considerable scholarly interest. Experience acquired over
the course of a number of conferences and seminars in Caen (France) and
elsewhere leads us to believe that a number of colleagues would welcome an
extension of existing multi-disciplinary approaches to the subject as well
as contributions on those areas of experience and theatres of war that are,
perhaps, less often discussed in a Western European academic context.

The Journal of Employability and The Humanities is for everyone in the
Humanities. As a bi-annual, refereed journal produced in collaboration
with the Centre for Employability Through the Humanities (ceth), at the
University of Central Lancashire, its intention is to create space for a
dialogue between Humanities and employability. We want to hear your
experiences of teaching, developing and researching employability and
stress that prior knowledge of employability literature and models is
not necessary. We do, however, also encourage contributions from the
experienced practitioner or theorist. We also welcome contributions from
students (undergraduate, postgraduate and mature) about their work and

Iris Murdoch's Scenes: An Anthology of Moral Imaginations

In this age of the Ethical Turn, we seek considerations of Iris Murdoch's
philosophical influences and encounters, her vast literary production, her
flashing insights in interviews, all kept close faith with the value and
mystery of the limited, often eccentric, individual other and the difficult
work of responsibly encountering reality. As the Humanities engage with
questions from the geopolitical to the personal regarding the other, Iris
Murdoch's work presents one model worthy of emulation, question, and
adaptation to the concerns we face in our present contexts.
