cultural studies and historical approaches

This panel seeks proposals to approach Romanticism as a (r)evolutionary mode of thinking. We invite abstracts to revolutionize and de-border the conventional Eurocentric Romantic boundaries in genres, forms, styles, themes, cultural legacies, and critical methods. Proposals are invited to transcend Romanticism of the Romantic Era to a new timeless global Romanticism of both historicity and modernity that contributes to ideological diversity. From the old pan-European Romanticism to a new international Romanticism, reading Romantic Literature as World Literature, this panel welcomes new creative approaches to interpret works by the Romantics.

War is hell but can also be funny, whether as a safety valve from pressure or catharsis after tragedy, as subversion, as efforts to build and maintain morale, or as exercises in nostalgia. Cinema early discovered the comedy inherent to conflict including the immensely successful 1920 film Alf’s Button, made just after and set during the First World War and notable as being popular despite (or because of) making comedy about the recent war. Comedy about war has since proliferated and writing and themes continue to respond to and adapt themselves to changing global and political circumstances including comedy responding to the Global War on Terror.
