The South Central Society for Eighteenth Century Studies invites you to present papers and organize conference panels on being lost and found in the long eighteenth century. Whether one is lost at sea or lost in thought, finding one's bearings can bring about new insights and inspirations. Discovering the answers to the mysteries of existence has led to whole new understandings of the world around and within us -- and whole new speculations about the unseen and unknown. We look forward to hearing your guiding perspectives.

Critical hegemony tracing the start of the Second Golden Age of Television to the release of HBO’s The Sopranos in 1999 means that several properties released before that time have flown under the academic radar. Oz (1997-2003), the first serial drama ever produced by HBO, contains all the tightly plotted storytelling and enhanced aesthetics Alexis Pichard defines as key features of Golden Age television, and achieved the required level of popular success with both audiences and critics.

Interest in the philosophical ideas of the Greek and Roman Stoics has burgeoned over the
past three decades, and Stoicism is experiencing a fascinating resurgence into various
facets of U.S. literature and culture. Although this popularity across diverse groups of
readers seems new, Stoicism has had a long if changeable history in the U.S.—from the
Puritan colonial settlers (who brought Stoic texts with them across the Atlantic) and

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
The theme of the 2025 MVSA conference is "Genealogies." The conference dates are April 3-6, 2025, and the location is Fort Wayne, IN. Please see the conference page here.
MVSA Conference Seminars are small, with eight to ten participants each. Participants exchange work to read ahead of the 2025 conference and meet in a closed, collaborative session to discuss overlaps in their papers, refine their ideas, and think about how to move their work forward.
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:
The world’s steady sloping toward 21st century fascism took an even more precipitous slide with the US electoral victory of Donald Trump in this fall’s election. There is no way to fully capture where different folks are at in their (dis)orientation to this unfolding fascism—physio-psycho- socio-affectio-logically—but feeling grief, rage, numbness, disgust, despair, flattened, scattered, scared, and intermixtures of all these (and many more) are surely in the running as immediate but inadequate visceral descriptors for this moment.

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.
