Teaching the Arthurian Tradition(s)

updated: 
Tuesday, November 5, 2024 - 10:37am
Illinois Medieval Association
deadline for submissions: 
Sunday, December 1, 2024

Deadline for Proposals: December 1

Session: 2:00 pm (Central) January 17, online via Zoom

The Arthurian Tradition(s) is often most students’ first and only exposure to the Middle Ages. Exposure often comes from films that students have seen: Fuqua’s King Arthur (2004), Ritchie’s King Arthur: Legend of the Sword (2017), and Lowery’s Green Knight (2021). What students learn from a course or unit on the Arthurian Tradition(s) is often very different from filmed depictions. This session seeks papers that explore issues, opportunities, and innovations in teaching the Arthurian Traditions(s). We welcome all aspects of teaching Arthuriana.

Mapping Body Space Continuum in Urbanscapes

deadline for submissions: 
Wednesday, January 15, 2025

Space is not defined objectively, but in relation to bodies, as it is a manifestation of their needs, intentions, and desires. It is not a container in which objects exist but is intertwined with the body’s orientation in the world and its movements within the space. Human body, therefore, is at the centre of all spaces, which are more than a geometrical concept in abstraction. Individual bodies apprehend and appropriate space differently and give meaning to embedded systems and institutions through established and evolving associations. Any assumption of personalised space, whether private or public, is embedded with historical, cultural, and social meanings which help curate embodied experiences.

Jamesian Beginnings

updated: 
Monday, November 4, 2024 - 5:07am
Henry James Society
deadline for submissions: 
Wednesday, January 15, 2025

The appeal of teleological thinking often shapes our readings of James, whether of individual works or of his career as a whole. But rather than let a sense of the ending determine our interpretation of what came before, how might James look different if we focused instead on beginnings? How does he typically begin a tale or novel—and how, if at all, do his strategies differ from those of other short story writers or novelists? How, where, or when doesn’t he begin? How is beginning thematized within the fictions, as in Isabel Archer’s practice of “beginning afresh a great many times” or Madame Merle’s wish that she could “begin again”? How did James himself begin as a writer?

Meddling with the Monolith: Tracing Genres of Contact through Expressions of Alterity

The existence of a sense of contact within a particular culture remains inherently interdisciplinary and intersectional in terms of literature, the performative arts, and the social sciences. Contact essentially entails a continuity, one that consciously evolves from the preceding line of thought to facilitate the production of the interiority of further signification. As human societies evolved, diverse communities established distinct cultural, social, and literary traditions. The resultant intersections foster and foreground the ‘unconforming’, resulting in the emergence of new socio-cultural utterances.

James Baldwin and the Reproduction of Racial Capitalism

 

A Call for Papers for a Special Issue of James Baldwin Review

 

Social domination, as exerted and felt through the categories of race, class, sex, and gender, finds itself expressed in and through James Baldwin’s work, often unevenly, subject to the peculiarities of his historical moments. Both Baldwin and his interpreters can be seen to elevate one vector of domination in racial capitalist modernity over the others, or forget one at the others’ expense, obscuring our vision of such domination and our capacities for struggling against it. 

 

Evelyn Scott Society -- American Literature Association -- Deadline January 10, 2025

Monday, November 4, 2024 - 4:52am
Evelyn Scott Society
deadline for submissions: 
Friday, January 10, 2025

The Evelyn Scott Society invites abstracts of 1-2 pages on the American writer Evelyn Scott (1893-1963).

Papers may focus on any of her works (novels, memoirs, poetry, young adult literature) and take any contemporary critical approach. We are especially interested in papers investigating the canonicity process, the literary networks to which Scott belonged, or the role of disability in her career, but all topics will be considered. Scott participated in various and major literary currents during her writing life, including Imagism, naturalism, and modernism, and she had a variety of literary mentors, including Lola Ridge, Theodore Dreiser, Waldo Frank, William Carlos Williams, Emma Goldman, and Jean Rhys, among others.
