We are pleased to announce the call for chapters for the revised edition of The Routledge Handbook of Chinese Translation, scheduled for publication in 2027.

“Language is a skin: I rub my language against the other. It is as if I had words instead of fingers, or fingers at the tip of my words.” — Roland Barthes, A Lover’s Discourse: Fragments 

This edited collection, Killing It In The Classroom: Teaching the Young Adult Detective Genre aims to address the changes in young adult detective/mystery literature, television shows, movies, and video games from 2015 to the present. The time, we maintain, is ripe for a re-investigation: adolescent engagement with social media and technology, along with the psychological after-effects of the Covid years, have significantly impacted what it means to be a teen in 2025. How does the YA detective fiction genre offer ways to explore contemporary issues and anxieties relevant to teens today?

Bible and Literature (Panel / In-Person)Presiding Officer: Kathryn Vulic (Western Washington University)

This session welcomes papers about the Bible and Literature that will ideally but not necessarily connect to the conference theme of “Palimpsests: Memory and Oblivion,” and touch on:

— Jewish biblical or post-biblical works

— Canonical or non-canonical Christian scriptures

— Post-biblical literary works that borrow from, adapt, translate, comment on, satirize, or allude to biblical stories, verses, characters, themes, or tropes

CFP: Small Forms in Nineteenth-Century America

This edited collection expands critical approaches to scale in nineteenth-century America by shifting focus from immensity (Baker 2006; Roberts 2014) to “small forms,” or forms disposed toward brevity or reduction. Building on scholarship that examines the operation of individual forms such as epigraphs (Stokes 2021), extracts (Wisecup 2021), footnotes (Cohen 2022), recipes (Tompkins 2013), and the serial sketch (Spires 2021), this collection aims to synthesize analysis of diverse small forms evident in nineteenth-century American literature and culture.
