120th session of PAMLA

Oct. 26-29, 2023 - Portland, Oregon

Special Session - CFP

Comprised of a global network of interdisciplinary scholars, librarians, archivists, and information architects (among many others), Digital Humanities is eminently rooted in shifting perspectives. From interacting with emergent technologies, data curation, and visualisations to transitioning teaching and learning methodologies, participation in this field of studies demands an ever-accumulating set of skills, best practices, and agility.

The Western Literature Association is excited to announce that our 2023 conference will be held at the Shoshone-Bannock Hotel & Casino, situated near Pocatello, Idaho, on the Fort Hall Reservation, home of the Shoshone and Bannock Tribes. The Shoshone-Bannock Tribes live on the largest land base reservation in the state of Idaho and are one of the five Tribes of Idaho. They are well known for their museum-quality beading and brain-tanned hides, for being the Home of Indian Relays (traditional horse races), and for being designated as the first Purple Heart Reservation in the nation. The 2023 Distinguished Achievement Award Winner, Mark Trahant, the influential editor at Indian Country Today, is also an enrolled member of the Tribes.

The Milton Society of America will propose a panel at the RSA 2024 that promotes the work of premodern disability studies. We invite paper submissions that consider any aspect of John Milton’s writings, life, historical and literary contexts, and intellectual legacy through the lens of critical disability studies. For consideration, please submit an abbreviated CV and a 200-word abstract to Eric Song at MiltonSocietySec@gmail.com, no later than June 30, 2023.

“We do not know what the dragon means, just as we do not know the meaning of the universe, but there is something in the image of the dragon that is congenial to man’s imagination… It is, one might say, a necessary monster” – Jorge Luis Borges.

IL PARLAGGIO

ISSN 2280-6849

This section of the academic journal “Sinestesieonline” is open to contributions about theatre and performing arts in all historical ages, forms and variations, in English, Italian and foreign languages. We use double blind peer review.

“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”.

Abstract:

Guest Editors: Caroline Nepton Hotte and Marie-Eve Bradette

« Il y a longtemps, fort longtemps, le monde tel que nous le connaissons aujourd’hui n’était qu’un vaste océan. Il était peu habité, sauf par quelques animaux aquatiques. À cette époque, les ancêtres des Wendat vivaient plutôt au-dessus, dans un autre monde : le Monde-Ciel. »

“Fashioning the Borderlands” call for chapters

Editors: Marie Bravo-Moix and Yvette Chairez

16 and 17 November 2023 / Aix-Marseille University
(Site St Charles, Turbulence Building, 3 place Victor Hugo, Marseille; or by Zoom)

The Milton Society of America seeks to assemble a roundtable at the RSA 2024 on the shifting role of teaching and writing about the work of John Milton in the academic profession today, in different places across the world. Although some of our conversations will revolve around the serious institutional and vocational challenges that many Miltonists confront, we also hope to hear about creative responses to those challenges as well as contexts in which Milton scholarship is beginning to take hold or developing in new ways. Participants will be asked to open with brief (approximately seven-minute) prepared remarks in order to allow ample time for conversation and discussion.

The authors for this edited collection on Fashioning the Asian Century are mostly set, but we still need one or two essays on Southeast Asia generally, or Thailand or Vietnam specifically. We could also use another essay on a topic relating to Chinese, Japanese, or Korean fashion. Please note that we already have several inquiries relating to fashion in India.

If you're interested, please send a 150 word abstract and short bio to the editor, Dr. Amanda Sikarskie, asikarsk@umich.edu, by June 30, 2023. (The editor is working with Bloomsbury.)
