Annulet seeks proposals for a Spring 2025 folio: “American Poetry & Poetics, 2008–2025”
Deadline for Proposals: November 1
Session: 2:00 pm (Central) January 17, online via Zoom
The Arthurian Tradition(s) is often most students’ first and only exposure to the Middle Ages. Exposure often comes from films that students have seen: Fuqua’s King Arthur (2004), Ritchie’s King Arthur: Legend of the Sword (2017), and Lowery’s Green Knight (2021). What students learn from a course or unit on the Arthurian Tradition(s) is often very different from filmed depictions. This session seeks papers that explore issues, opportunities, and innovations in teaching the Arthurian Traditions(s).
Deadline for Proposals: October 1
Session: 2:00 pm (Central) November 22, online via Zoom
Medieval topics tend to intrigue elementary, middle-school, and high-school students. In a teaching environment where time is precious, how do teachers approach the Middle Ages? This session seeks papers addressing issues, opportunities, and innovations in the K-12 classroom to inform the larger community of K-12 teachers and post-secondary educators about how the topic is approached at the K-12 level.
Submit full session proposals or paper proposals (no more than 300 words) to mwgeorge.51@gmail.com no later than October 1, 2024.
Deadline for Proposals: September 11
Session: 2:00 pm (Central) October 18
In the last few decades, courses on the Middle Ages and medieval studies programs have been either cut or severely restricted in the United States. In fact, recently a variety of humanities programs have been on the chopping block, forcing and providing an opportunity for specialists in medieval studies to integrate our specialties into other courses. This year’s Illinois Medieval Association Symposium seeks to explore issues incorporating medieval studies into our curricula. We seek papers that deal with problems/solutions, opportunities, and innovations. Single papers (20-minute length) and, especially, full sessions are encouraged.
Dear Colleagues,
We have the pleasure to invite you to submit articles for our next issue, due April 2025. We receive papers on Literature (not that of ancient Greece or Rome), Media Studies, Film Studies, Visual and Performative Arts, and Teaching (Language and Literature). Papers in said areas need to focus on the following themes: Nationalism/Post-nationalism, Colonialism/Postcolonialism/Decolonization, Race, Gender Studies, Ethnicity, and Identity.
We are: CEEOL, Ulrichsweb, MLA Directory of Periodicals, DOAJ, EBSCO, ERIH PLUS, SCOPUS. We also archive our journal in the Internet Archive.

Topics of Interest
“Revolutions are the locomotives of history,” wrote Marx 175 years ago in The Class Struggles in France, where the working and peasant classes were struggling against the capitalist system. Today, not only have the conditions of human beings failed to improve, but the rise of neo-capitalism and its imperial power has led to the rebirth of slavery in countries such as Congo and Libya, the complete destruction of third-world nations like Palasteine and Haiti by neocolonialism, and the further isolation of the working class across the globe.

Greetings.
As the editor of the digital edition of the Encyclopedia of Hispanic-American Literature (Facts on File), I'm inviting scholars to contribute essays of approximately 1500-2000 words on one of the authors listed below. The digital edition has been contracted with Facts on File and is a peer-reviewed volume scheduled to be published in 2025. Much of the volume is completed, with a few outstanding biographies that need to be assigned.
Alcoholism has ruined many families, individuals and relationships. Its impact has not been restricted to just the physical health of the person but has often caused irrevocable harm to the mental health of the individual as well as those associated with the individual, making it as much a health hazard as a social concern. There are several states in India that ban the sale and use of alcohol and are designated dry states. Hooch tragedies are commonly reported.

I. How Do We Study Historical Text Traditions? (Paper Session)
Archives have become a site of contestation because of their status as “an imperial project of domination and affirmation” (Ištok 2016). It is specifically the case in the English-speaking world. The revelation in 2011 of the hiding and culling by British colonial authorities of “incriminating documents from former colonies in the months before each one became politically independent” (Diptée 2024) is a case in point. In this deliberate and pernicious meddling with archives, now known as “Operation Legacy”, the “mother country” aimed to tone down — if not silence — colonial violence and display a more humanist facet that was supposed to undergird the liberation of British territories from colonial shackles (Cobain 2016).
Seminar Stream proposed for the 2025 Annual Meeting of the American Comparative Literature Association, which will be held virtually, May 29 - June 1, 2025.Kindly note that in the ACLA format, you are expected to attend and engage with other presentations in your seminar. This entails a commitment of circa 2 hours over the course of 2-3 days on the dates above. Please do not submit a paper if you are not willing to make this commitment.
Children As the Future: Rights & Representations
Being good makes one a target. History rattles off instances of virtuous individuals cracked by circumstance and at the mercy of a world that seeks its own ends apart from a universal pattern anchored in the Divine. Should one register shock, then, at the violence directed at those whose faces reflect the goodness of God, for the world “hated me first” Christ reminds his disciples. No, we cannot feign surprise. Nor can we fail to act. When Mordecai implored Esther to approach the king on pain of death, he did so with the assurance that God would provide regardless of her choice, and yet, he asked her, “... who knows whether you have not come to the kingdom for such as time as this?” Yes, God will provide, and perhaps we are that provision.
