updated: 
Monday, September 16, 2024 - 5:50am
NeMLA
deadline for submissions: 
Monday, September 30, 2024

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.

Critical Essays on Laughter in War

Marcus Harmes
deadline for submissions: 
Friday, October 4, 2024

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.

Re-inventing Humanities: Possibilities and Prospects in the Face of Crisis

updated: 
Wednesday, September 11, 2024 - 8:59am
Department of English and Cultural Studies, Panjab University, Chandigarh
deadline for submissions: 
Monday, September 30, 2024

In the wake of neoliberalism, academia is increasingly being turned into a market imperative, marked by the rising global popularity of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) courses and the concomitant reduction in funding for humanities departments. This situation presents a crisis for the Humanities and the values and forms of knowledge it stands for. This crisis is manifesting itself in ways such as the persistent gap among disciplines as well as between scholarship and lived experiences. The breakdown of disciplinary boundaries and the consequent intermingling of Humanities and Sciences has led to the rise of new knowledge systems.
