The Fifth International Edgar Allan Poe conference—now scheduled to take place live, April 7-10,2022, at Boston’s historic Omni Parker House—will complete Poe’s triumphant return to the cityof his birth. At the heart of Old Boston, the hotel stands within a block of the Boston Athenaeum,Tremont Temple, King’s Chapel, and Granary Burying Ground.

How do altmetrics, indicators beyond citation-based metrics, lend themselves to humanities? What remains invisible, uncounted, untold? Responsible metrics vis-à-vis the language of publication, dissemination channels or publication formats?

We invite short presentations (7-10 minutes) that address these questions for a session at the 2022 MLA Convention in Washington, DC.

Please submit an abstract of approximately 200 words.

Description:

From his first major performance at Gerde’s Folk City in September of 1961, live performance has been a central part of Bob Dylan’s career.  More than the studio albums, Dylan’s concerts have provided him the opportunity to alter arrangements, change lyrics, and craft set lists further building his mystique as both artist and performer.  These variations and, at times, repetitions of or within the set lists, in particular, create their own text or texts ripe for analysis.

Panel: Film and Literature

The organizers invite papers on all aspects of Joseph Conrad’s engagement with transnational or transcultural themes. Conrad’s works confront the challenges of transnationality on land or sea, not only through explorations of language, race, and ethnicity, but his characters’ attempts to forge transcultural unity in the face of alterity. Please send abstracts of up to 150 words on this or any other aspect of Conrad’s engagement with the theme to Dr. Mark Deggan at mark_deggan@sfu.ca before 15th March 2021.

“Il Parlaggio” is the name created by Gabriele d’Annunzio for the amphitheatre in Vittoriale – a place of empathy, a cradle of emotions, a crossroads of cultures, a connection between antiquity and contemporaneity, an emblem of the “neverending show”.

Constant transformation has been the norm in the new digital media environment since its inception. During the 2020 health crisis, the impact of this ever-changing digital world in our daily lives has been especially notable. Due to quarantine measures, the only opportunity to interact with friends and to consume culture was to rely on social networks, streaming services and video conferencing softwares. Web-based cultural activities have affected people’s relationships with cyberspace: many have visited museums, seen award ceremonies, and even been to concerts online. In other words, we are never disconnected from the Internet (DeNardis 2020).
