Apologies for cross-postings.

We are preparing our second volume on fantasy fiction (to be published in Poland or by Peter Lang) but apart from papers on books we have decided to solicit papers on anime, animated movies (Shrek, Monsters and Co., etc.) or feature films (e.g. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardobe) that would stress
their ethical, spiritual or educational values for young audiences. The articles
should be 6,000 words, in MLA. We would welcome abstracts and short
biographical notes first. The deadline for the articles is the end of
January.

The MELUS Panel at SAMLA seeks papers on "Mixing Cultures and American
Ethnicities"

In America, ethnic communities do not exist in a vacuum that precludes
interethnic relationships and influence. In fact, the United States'
ethnic variety has led to the creation and development of unique American
cultural ways within established ethnic communities because of this
crossing of cultural boundaries. This panel will focus on American
literature that considers the relationship between ethnicities and the
consequences of this interaction and of the shifting of ethnic boundaries.

A full range of approaches to and perspectives on the topic is encouraged.

Teaching In or About Prison

For a proposed panel on Teaching In or About Prison, I am seeking
abstracts for papers for the ASA Convention to be held in Oakland,
California (October 12-15, 2006). The ever-increasing U.S. prison
population has made the study of incarceration crucial to American
Studies. Many scholars have chosen to teach about incarceration from
a safe remove, and others have immersed themselves in the prison
experience by teaching prisoners. This panel, consistent with the
conference's "inside/out" theme, will seek to examine this
intersection of perspectives and pedagogies.

Please submit abstracts no later than January 15, 2006 to Quentin
Miller (qmiller_at_suffolk.edu).

2007 sees the two-hundredth anniversary of the first publication of two
books that have played distinctively significant roles in the mediation
of Shakespeare for children, and the reception of his works by them:
Charles and Mary Lamb's Tales from Shakespeare, and Henrietta Bowdler's
The Family Shakespeare (revised by her brother Thomas a decade later).
As guest-editors of a cluster of essays in the December 2006 issue of
the new Routledge journal Shakespeare, we wish to take this anniversary
as an opportunity to reflect on some of the meanings and consequences of
Shakespeare's global travels through the cultures of childhood over the
last two hundred years.
