Unpacking the Library: Literatures and their Archives.

The history of Western culture is punctuated by affirmations of the presence,
rebirth, or return of literature. Such affirmation involves, necessarily, if
implicitly or symbolically, a turn toward the archival forms of the text – that
is, traditionally speaking, a turn toward the codex and the library. This
recourse to textual holdings of various kinds clearly involves often
unacknowledged complexities of institutional, technical and cultural issues.

CFP: Eudora Welty and Photography (3/17/06; MLA '06)

This special MLA session will examine Eudora Welty's visual aesthetic. How has
Welty been imagined/authorized through photography and visual culture? What is
the connection between Welty's photography and her writing? Is her fiction
somehow cinematic? How might we problematize Welty's "provincialism" by
viewing her through the lens of mass, visual culture? This panel encourages
intertextual, interdisciplinary approaches.

Please send 1-2 page abstracts (500 words) by March 17th to Dina Smith (Dept. of
English, Drake University): dina.smith_at_drake.edu

I will be organizing a panel at this year MLA's convention (to be held in
Philadelphia). This panel discusses the cultural as well as the
socio-political aspects of Eastern Europe -- before and after the fall of the
Berlin wall -- in conjunction with cinematic works.

Below is my original message:
Proposals are invited for a special session organized by the Romanian Studies
Association of America at this year's MLA convention: "Living at the
Outskirts -- Cinema and East European Countries." Film and the Politics of the
Great Divide, the East European as Other, visual narrative of
integration/disintegration, and the cinematic screen as a divide and/or
anchorage.

On behalf of the Students' Committee of the Musicology Department of
Mainz University I am pleased to inform you of the following Call for
papers:
