Voices of Change: Women in 19th and 20th Century Indian Print Culture
The narrative of women in Indian print culture reflects a dynamic interplay of struggle and achievement, where, despite significant contributions, women's voices were frequently marginalized, and societal expectations and institutional barriers often constrained their roles. This complex history underscores the ongoing need for a more inclusive historical narrative that fully acknowledges the diverse and critical roles women have played
in shaping print culture in India.
Since 2014, the eTEXTS: Literary and Cultural Studies Conference has served as a platform for the examination and exploration of diverse "texts" from English-speaking countries of Ango-Saxon heritage. By bringing together scholars, doctoral students, and early-career professionals, the conference fosters scientific debates and critical discussions that drive forward our understanding of literature and culture. Our sessions facilitate development and dissemination of original research, encouraging participants to engage in critical analysis of a wide array of social, cultural, philosophical, and historical issues.
Call for Papers: Latinx Voices in the South/ Voces Latinx en el Sur
What do you learn in a classroom that you didn’t already know from your neighborhood?
This roundtable invites Latinx undergraduate students to speak from experience—your own or your community’s—and reflect on how southern education can hold space for Latinx people.
Call for Papers: Variations 28 – Environment, Science, Memory
The balsam fir tree also remembers. If caterpillars or moose browse its needles, the nibbling assault lodges itself in the chemical makeup of the tree, in a manner analogous to the changes in a chickadee’s nerve cells after a near miss with a predator. The tree’s subsequent growth is more heavily defended by unpalatable resins, like a bird turned jumpy by its bad experience with a hawk. The fir also remembers air temperatures dating back nearly a year, a memory that helps the tree to know when to winterize its cells. […]
Roots and twigs have memories of light, gravity, heat, and minerals. (Haskell 2017: 37)
Routledge Handbook of AI and World Language Learning – call for chapters
Editors: Weixiao Wei and Chris Shei
The Routledge Handbook of AI and World Language Learning will explore the transformative role of artificial intelligence in language education, offering a critical and comprehensive analysis of how AI is expected to reshape the ways languages are taught, learned, and assessed.
Preliminarily divided into six thematic sections, the handbook will bridge theory, research, and practice to establish AI-driven language learning as a rigorous academic field. It is intended to serve as a vital resource for researchers, educators, ed-tech developers, policymakers, and postgraduate students.
A reading of original work by participants focusing on loss and modes of remembering the dead, as well as other kinds of loss. Please submit a few sentences about your poem(s) in the abstract spot (https://pamla.ballastacademic.com/Home/S/19592) and a selection from the poems you’d like to read in the description spot. Then please email me your full submission (five pages of poetry). I welcome submissions by both established and emerging writers. Should you be chosen you will have approximately ten minutes to read .
This panel explores Michael Leong’s recent association between “documental” poetry—poetry that draws on and/or revises official or invented documents—and explorations of memory broadly construed, including forgotten historical events, the plight of unrepresented people(s), and the psychological and/or physiological workings of memory itself. How do such works define memory? To what extent are the workings of memory affirmed in these works? To what extent are processes of remembering obstructed, disrupted, or fragmented?

The ninth annual Brandeis Novel Symposium (BNS), which will
take place on Friday October 17, 2025, invites proposals for
papers on Henry James’s novel The Bostonians (1886). The
Brandeis Novel Symposium is a one-day conference that
chooses a single novel as a point of focus for salient
theoretical, historical, political, and narratological
questions about the novel as a genre. (See the 2024 BNS
website and this archive for more information about the
BNS.)
This session explores how multi-ethnic American literature navigates palimpsestic memory—narratives layered with the lingering and hidden imprints of forced migration, slavery, displacement, and systemic erasure. From the brutal dislocations of the transatlantic slave trade to the quiet erasures embedded in ongoing displacement and marginalization, writers have often turned to transcribing stories of the past and present as a process of “Rememory[ing].” This panel seeks papers exploring the ways in which multi-ethnic literature traces stories despite systematic and social mandates to usher such narratives into oblivion. We especially welcome literary papers detailing a resistance and reclamation of racially oppressed identities.

The 20th Anniversary of David Foster Wallace’s “This is Water” Kenyon Commencement Speech is coming up this May! If you can’t make our roundtable at the ALA conference in Boston on May 23rd, we’d love to see you in the virtual realm for a four-day Zoom symposium themed around Wallace’s monumental speech. While it may be disappointing not to see each other in person, this is an opportunity to do things we can’t do at an in-person conference, and a chance to reconnect with our friends from around the globe.
Modernist Studies in the 21st century has rigorously adapted itself to bridge the gap between the narrowly periodized referent of “modernism” and the much broader range of literary-critical interests that the term encompasses. This trend is heralded by Douglas Mao and Rebecca Walkowitz’s 2008 call for a spatio-temporally and “vertically” expanded “New Modernist Studies,” and it reaches its logical extreme in Susan Stanford Friedman’s Planetary Modernisms (2015), which locates discrete modernisms both throughout and beyond the scope of recorded human history.

Abstract
Any proposals dealing with British literature and culture of the long 19th century are welcome. Of particular interest are proposals focusing on authors or works not typically discussed, and proposals that connect to the conference theme of "Palimpsests: Memory and Oblivion."
Description
While any proposals dealing with British literature and culture from this period are welcome, these topics are of particular interest:
• The remembered and the forgotten
• Photography
• Romantic memory
We invite contributions for an upcoming edited volume on Yaşar Kemal, one of the most influential figures in Turkish literature and world literature. Despite Kemal’s international acclaim and extensive literary output, no comprehensive edited volume in English has yet been published. This book aims to fill that gap by offering critical perspectives on Kemal’s literary aesthetics, social engagement, and cultural legacy.
Scope and Themes
We welcome contributions from diverse methodological and theoretical approaches, addressing (but not limited to) the following themes:
• Yaşar Kemal’s Literary Style and Aesthetics
o Narrative structures, use of folklore, and oral storytelling traditions

This volume, under contract with Bloomsbury, will focus on the intersection of Bryher’s work as a writer and filmmaker/critic. Although her contemporaries, particularly H.D., are widely known, Bryher’s far-reaching influence is largely overlooked by scholars of Modernism. With that in mind, I'm thrilled to invite essays that explore Bryher's writings, letters, and films, as well as her influence on other creative practitioners. Please send essays by June 30th, 2025 to Kristina Marie Darling, the volume's editor. Essays of any length are welcome for consideration.
estrema: interdisciplinary journal of humanities, an online, double-blind peer-reviewed journal from the Centre for Comparative Studies at the School of Arts and Humanities, University of Lisbon (CEComp-FLUL), is currently accepting article and review submissions for the first issue of its Volume 4 until 30 June 2025. The previous issue featured reflections, in the form of articles and interviews, on the life/death dichotomy, approached from an interdisciplinary, comparative, and innovative perspective. In 2025, we are launching estrema's first call for papers specifically focused on a particular field of study: Speculative Fiction.
