Furious Flower IV Call for Proposals

    Words. Worlds. Abundance. 

The Furious Flower Poetry Center at James Madison University invites proposals for papers, panels, and performances that engage the global histories, aspirations, and forms of Black poetry. Since our groundbreaking 1994 gathering, the Center has convened a series of decade-defining conferences that explore and generate significant developments within Black poetic activity and scholarship.

With a canonical perspective and long historical memory, we have, in the intervening decades, curated, catalogued, and nurtured Black poetic activity in its plural manifestations as it surged and moved from the margins to eminence.

The Florida Scholarly Review

deadline for submissions: 
Tuesday, January 30, 2024

Nowhere is the changing landscape of higher education more evident than in Florida. From changing student demographics and enrollment to discussions surrounding academic freedom, our institutions of higher education are at the forefront of many political and philosophical conversations. Oftentimes, the intellectual and creative work of the faculty, staff, and independent scholars that support these institutions continues to challenge and further these conversations. However, there is more fluidity in Florida than merely the political situation: our natural environment is in a state of flux as our population is growing at an exponential rate.

ABOUT CONFERENCE: 

Coined by Marianne Hirsch in the 1990s, the term postmemory by now entered various disciplines who search to understand how memory form our identity and how we position, articulate or just make sense of our place in the society and our relations with it. The term postmemory problematizes the concept of memory by bringing attention to the memories that are not exactly personal but that keep on shaping one’s life and one’s  way of seeing the world.

Call for Submissions for Issue 2!

We are now seeking submissions for Issue 2.

The theme is: The Slant, as in …

 

“ Tell all the truth but tell it slant —”

 

Poems that explore the associations and connections of a unique mind. The poet’s eye. A perspective that only the individual could conjure. Worlds, experiences, thoughts, and events cast in a new and distinct light. Poems that focus on the strength of voice and personality. Poems that tinker with language, imagery, and unfamiliarity. We want a peek behind the curtain, to see how the poet sees.

Weird James

deadline for submissions: 
Friday, January 19, 2024

Sharon Cameron’s Thinking in Henry James pointed up the weirdness of how consciousness works in his novels. She cites this example from The Portrait of a Lady, in which the subject of Isabel Archer’s reverie suddenly appears: “The effect was strange, for Madame Merle was already so present to her vision that her appearance in the flesh was like suddenly, and rather awfully, seeing a painted picture move.” In Mark Fisher’s account, “the weird is constituted by a presence – the presence of that which does not belong. In some cases [...] the weird is marked by an exorbitant presence, a teeming which exceeds our capacity to represent it.”

“We all know that the word ‘method’ is eventually derived from the Greek ‘methodos’ which again is derived from ‘meta’ meaning ‘after’ and ‘hodos’ meaning ‘way’. If method is moving after a way, then it must have been arrived at after moving wayward for some time.”-Amiya Dev, “Comparative Literature from Below”, JJCL 29
