Antisemitism and English Culture
Advance notice and CALL FOR PAPERS
A major international conference on the histories and cultures of antisemitism in England, from the Middle Ages to the present day. To be held at Birkbeck College, University of London, 9-11 July 2007.

Key questions to be addressed include:

-Can we talk of a distinctly English kind of antisemitism?

-Is antisemitism inherent in Englishness?

-What is, or has been, the relationship between 'high' or intellectual English culture and antisemitism?

-How far can specific English contexts be seen to have engendered antisemitism?

-Is there a meaningful history of English philosemitism, and what is its relationship to antisemitism?

For the Fall issue of the Virginia Woolf Miscellany, the subject is
Virginia Woolf and Deviancy. Possible topics might be: "How and why did
Woolf present what the dominant culture found deviant? How and why was
Woolf deviant in her own writing? How did Woolf change the meanings of
deviancy or the understandings of what was deviant in her culture? Is
Woolf deviant for readers today? How has Woolf's deviance influenced
later writers? How have later writers or visual artists interpreted
Woolf's deviancy into their own texts? How did Woolf create textual or
narrative deviancy? How, in Woolf's incorporation of other texts into her
writing, did she create deviancy?

The first Optika symposium, which took place in 2005, brought together
people from a variety of artistic, intellectual, and cultural
backgrounds and resulted in a wonderfully stimulating 2 day
conversation about the possibilities of visual narration. It also
resulted in a book on the subject soon to be published by the
University of Puerto Rico Press. When the symposium ended, everyone was
asking when Optika 2 would take place. So we are happy to announce the
second edition of Optika, and invite you to submit your proposals:
