Call for Papers for Edited Volume on Periodization
Periodization, the act of chunking up time to make units of study, is a fraught practice undertaken by scholars, educators, media professionals, and everyday people. Although largely arbitrary, the ending and beginning dates of a period do much to influence how people outside of the historical profession think about topics such as progression, regression, and the present’s current location in a larger human narrative.

'[...] the seas of literature are distraught with storms and currents, and full of the wrecks of Irish anthologies’. W. B. Yeats A Book of Irish Verse (1895)
The most common activity pertaining to literature—being read by real people in everyday settings—has been the least researched when considering its sheer volume, spread and diversity of practices. As an opportunity to make up for that lack of academic research, our symposium is inviting submissions for presentations dealing with any aspect of reading literature performed by or involving specific readers in their everyday environments.

Panel on Affective Tonalities and Aesthetic Moods
In academia, what has come to be called “the affective turn” of the 1990s—surfacing in the wake of a “performative turn” that arguably originated in the 1940s and 1950s— was first used in the works of feminist scholars such as Patricia Clough and Lauren Berlant. Indeed, the affective turn has sparked generative debates, consonances, dissonances, and intense exchanges of views on a broad range of issues such as (post)critique, (non)intentionality, rational actor theory, and agency across disciplines in the humanities and social sciences.

Our proposed collection, Unsettling the Lyric, invites interdisciplinary perspectives on the possibilities, as well as the problems, of the lyric as an essential site for reexamining the histories of Indigenous-settler relations and how we express them in the present. As Daniel Heath Justice (Cherokee) argues, “poetry is a particularly compelling literary form for confronting the ruptures of history and the fragmenting effects of settler colonialism.” And the lyric especially remains as ubiquitous as it is contested.
Women’s Link is a bi-annual peer reviewed journal that focuses on gender issues from a broad spectrum. Its basic intention is to create awareness and disseminate information about the present situation of women. Women’s Link carries articles on women’s lives from all dimensions i.e.
