Abstract Submission Deadline: 30 November 2024
The Fantastical Constellations After Magical Realism research group (formerly known as Post-Magical Realist Worlds) of the Canadian Comparative Literature Association (CCLA) invites submissions to our sessions in the upcoming CCLA 2025 Conference taking place June 7-9, 2025 at Trent University, Peterborough/Nogojiwanong, Ontario and online.
The conference, entitled “Comparative Literature Off-Kilter,” considers “our often off-kilter positionality in (and out of) academia,” and the precarity of the balancing act of comparison. We are asked to conceive the conference “as a playground on which marginal practices, thoughts, works and formats can form revolutionary friendships.”
4th Annual Beverly Lyon Clark Children’s Literature Symposium
12 April 2025Contact: bevlclarksymposium@gmail.com
We are pleased to invite you to the 4th Annual Beverly Lyon Clark Children’s Literature Symposium, which will be held at Wheaton College in Norton, Massachusetts on April 12th, 2025.
We are pleased to invite proposals from UK-based postgraduate and early-career researchers to participate in a twelve-person, interdisciplinary research workshop, ‘Genres of Revolt: Cultural Afterlives of 1848’, to be held on 12-13 June 2025, at Gonville & Caius College, University of Cambridge.
In the history of revolutions, 1848 has often stood as a marker of utopian aspirations—but also a symbol of thwarted hopes. More recently, vibrant scholarly debates on the significance of this crucial year have begun to prompt a new reckoning and to revise a longstanding consensus that the revolutions simply ‘failed’, in part by looking beyond the European scene alone.
What can be discovered between spaces?
Liminal spaces, margins, and thresholds offer us exciting opportunities to explore the past and our own perceptions. This conference aims to open discussion on under-represented or under-discussed topics to further analyse what we accept as “truth”. We will focus on the northern parts of the world specifically, as the northern regions were viewed as remote and uninhabitable. Medieval and Early Modern sources suggest that the further north you go, the more monstrous the world becomes. Topics may include, but are not limited to, the following:
Perspectives in Architecture and Urbanism

The Department of Spanish and Portuguese at Yale University is pleased to announce the call for papers for the upcoming graduate conference, “Entre lugares,” which will be held at Yale University on Friday April 4th and Saturday April 5th, 2025. This interdisciplinary conference invites scholars to explore the multifaceted notion of liminality as it relates to spaces, identities, languages, temporalities, and literary genres.
The professional journey of children’s and young adult literature scholars, librarians, and educators often involves significant transitions. These transitions present unique opportunities and challenges, often requiring redefinition of identity, reevaluation of goals, and the navigation of new professional landscapes. For this year’s “Building a Career Panel,” the Membership Committee invites proposals for an interactive workshop panel that explores the diverse experiences of career transitions within the field of children’s and young adult literature.
The times, they are a changing! AI, book bans, changes in student populations, the rise of the neoliberal university, and more are changing how we engage with children's literature in the classroom. With all these changes, what is it about time we talk about?

An Archaeology of the Gaze
Studying the evolutions of the Iconography of Violence and Brutality
Anyone familiar with the war iconography of ancient sovereigns—from the Assyrian palaces and temples of Ramses II to Trajan’s Column—would not be surprised by these powers' claims to legitimate violence. It was entirely endorsed by the sovereign, reducing the victims of the conquering arm to mere foils for the political power asserting itself through force. In stark contrast, the photographs that journalists share from contemporary conflicts are often characterized by a specific focus on the victims, whose suffering has become central to the interpretation of violence.
