Medica, the Society for the Study of Healing in the Middle Ages invites submissions for a panel entitled:

Healing Journeys: Travelling for Body and Soul in Late Medieval Culture

to be hosted at the Leeds International Medieval Congress, 12-15 July 2010.

We encourage a broad interpretation of the theme from a variety of disciplines, such as history of medicine, literary studies, material culture and religious history.

Papers may consider:

- Portable Healing

- Physiology and the Ages of Man

- Bodily and Spiritual Journeys for Healing

- Representations of the Body and Medical Healing in Otherworldly Journeys

- Medical Pilgrims and their Detractors

This conference examines emergent issues of health and its interconnections with peace, security and development in Africa and her Diaspora, with major emphasis upon critical analysis and the development of new, innovative thoughts and proposals. Together, we will explore the prospects for bridging related gaps in theory and policy on the conference theme, and identify best practices and models of health -peace and development in Africa/Diaspora.

The editors of CJFS/RCEC -- Charles Acland (Communication Studies) and Catherine Russell (Film Studies) at Concordia University, Montreal -- seek submissions of manuscripts in film and moving image studies for the following special refereed topic issues. The recommended maximum length for articles is 6000 words. We publish work in English or French.

"What has been lost (…) is the epic, or rather, the taste for the poetic continuum such as once informed the epic vein of Romanticism" (C. Doumet). How much of a fact is that?

Four Corners Conference on Immigration
Mesa State College
Grand Junction, CO
9 October – 10 October 2009
Website: www.mesastate.edu/spanish/fcc

Abstract deadline: 20-July-2009.

Jennifer Neville's "Representations of the Natural World in Old English Poetry" and Gillian Rudd's "Greenery: Ecocritical Readings of Late Medieval English Literature" are examples of the growing interest in ecocritical readings of medieval literature. The ways medieval writers thought about and interacted with nature and wilderness are important and relevant in regard to other conceptual frames and formulations that governed medieval thought and behavior. Papers in this panel will address the representations of nature in medieval texts as they pertained to and promoted political ideologies and programs of instruction or colonization. Papers on English and Continental literature are welcome.
