ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT

CALL FOR PAPERS

The Department of English, Igbinedion University Okada, Edo State, Nigeria, invites quality articles for inclusion in Volume 2 of the June/July and November/December editions of IUO Journal of English and Literary Studies. The journal publishes articles and compositions written in English and French in all areas of English Language and Literature, including African and non-African Studies, Canonical, Contemporary, and Comparative Studies, Linguistics Studies, Theatre Arts, Film/Home Video, conference proceedings, editorials, book reviews, interviews, creative works, and sketches. IUO Journal of English and Literary Studies is an online periodical which allows free and unrestricted access to its published material.

We invite papers that explore aspects of Young/Adult literature and/or culture, broadly construed. We welcome proposals both related to the conference theme, "Palimpsests: Memory and Oblivion," and those not related. Paper proposals that engage the following questions are welcome: How have notions of age and development impacted and/or been encoded in literary and cultural materials, including media? How has the story of "young adult" or "adolescent" literature been written over, rewritten, or written out, and with what occlusions?

This conference aims to bring together Postgraduate students and Research Scholars to critically engage with the theme of “Popular Culture and the Politics of Representation.” Culture has always been the force to determine the course of human history, which has been sempiternally constituted by multitudinous and multidirectional fluxes of cultural exchanges, overlaps, and influences of various degrees. The aforementioned dynamics had not only been operative at collective levels but also at individual ones, ceaselessly permeating and turning us into its impacts and mouldings.
