Join us in Los Angeles for the 39th annual MELUS conference!

April 3-6, 2025

Hosted by Cal State LA

Conference Theme: MELUS Outside

Deadline for Abstracts: December 6, 2024

Inspired by Fort Wayne’s proximity to the Allen County Library, with its large genealogical center, MVSA 2025 takes the theme of “Genealogies.” We encourage participants to think about origins and descent broadly speaking and across disciplines. Genealogies were powerful scientific tools or narrative red herrings, and they were also sources of anxiety for Victorians. Of course, people have genealogies, but so do ideas, artistic forms, and texts, including scholarly concepts and methods themselves. MVSA invites proposals for papers that present, interrogate, explore, celebrate, and puncture material and textual genealogies.

Papers Might Take up Issues Including, but not Limited to:

                                            Florida Atlantic Univeristy - Comparative Studies Student Association 

                                                            CSSA’s 2025 Intellectual Resistance Conference

The literature of early medieval England, both Old English and Anglo-Latin, is often characterized either by a derivative devotion to an authoritative past, or by unorthodox innovation. While this dichotomy between tradition and innovation has much merit, many textual examples defy this categorization. In some cases, innovative texts and authors actually conform closely to their discursive models, while other texts that seem to adhere to tradition in fact create significant developments and variations. Untangling the complex relationships between texts and their sources reveals much about composition, genre, form, and language – the very foundations of textual practice.

TV Matters is a new series of short monographs (40,000 to 50,000 words) on television series,
analysing their production history, cultural context, main themes, as well as fandom and
audience reception. (All three of these aspects need to be touched upon!) The focus is on shows that both have critical acclaim (as reflected by awards, media reviews), but more importantly, are genuinely “popular”. That means they have
had a robust viewership and ideally an active fandom (watercooler discussions on- and offline,
as well as fan production such as fic, art, vids etc), and/or an unusual reception history (cases
of bans, censorship or similar).

I have several chapters for this collection, but I am looking for four or five more. Please send abstracts or inquiries by January 20, 2025. Chapters will be due by July 15, 2025.

All topics about dragons will be considered.

Please send abstracts and a brief bio to Rachel Carazo at rachel.carazo@snhu.edu

As class studies are often niche, invisible, or non-existent withinmany cultural studies programs, we hope to draw attention to the discipline and the broader need for class consciousness. By understanding and breaking down the structures and systems that uphold our modern class structure, this conference aims to make meaningful change both in and outside of the academic ivory tower.
