"Suble Modernist Revolutions: 1925 as Annus Mirablis" invites abstract submissions for our panel at NeMLA 2025 (March 6-9, Philadelphia). A centennial has passed since 1925, a watershed year of subtle Modernist revolution. If we look to 1925 as a year of subtle Modernist revolution, where Modernist literature found its footing as a revolutionary art movement, what symbols, patterns, or commentaries emerge through the exercise of Modernist techniques? Moreover, where has this revolutionary movement engendered revolutions–the cycling and recycling of certain formal interventions? What writing practices still echo through contemporary literature today and what are their implications?

Call for Papers:

Writing both shorter (forum posts, book reviews, and seminar papers) and longer pieces (dissertations and book-length manuscripts) is an integral part of any graduate program in the Humanities. Yet many candidates find themselves completing these pursuits as an end point, rather than as part of a larger journey. Some, for example, may find the process too focused on traditional methods of publishing, while others may find themselves yearning to submit selected works to academic journals. As a result, researching and writing do not look or feel the same for everyone, and no single mentor can fulfill every need of any single candidate or scholar.

Hanguk Shakespeare: Korean Receptions and Transformations

deadline for submissions: 
Friday, November 15, 2024

Shakespeare first travelled to the Korean peninsula at the turn of the twentieth century and has since enjoyed enduring popularity in classrooms, on the stage, and far beyond. The playwright's work has provided and continues to provide fertile ground for performance, from direct Korean-language stagings to hybrid productions which marry the Shakespearean text to Korean cultural forms such as operatic changgeuk and the traditional musical storytelling medium of pansori. Our proposed collection of essays, Hanguk Shakespeare: Korean Receptions and Transformations, aims to explore the rich tradition of Shakespeare in Korea from the turn of the twentieth century to the present day in all its various forms and manifestations.

(Deadline Extended) Man and the Machine: Exploring the Future of AI Literature

The primary aim of this edited volume is to explore the word ‘Literature’ in the age of AI. Etymologically, the Latin word litteratura is derived from littera (Latin) meaning the ‘smallest element of alphabetical writing’ (Klarer 1). The word ‘literature,’ then means, any writing e.g., a medical prescription, usage instruction written on the bottle of shampoo or maybe a cautionary warning on the packet of cigarettes. To specify the particular type of literature we use the term ‘Creative Literature’ (called the Literature of Power by Rees).

Where does sensing occur: within the sensory organ, the perceived object, or somewhere in between? This panel draws on insights from environmental media to explore the history of sensations. We examine how the environment not only shapes our sensory reality but has also been used historically to define, measure, and standardize the senses.

The art of calligraphy, with its elegance, precision and expressive power holds a celebrated place among the arts of China, Japan and the Middle East, and is much studied as a result. Western calligraphy using the Roman-script, by contrast, is relatively neglected within academia.

However, given current interest in both drawing research and grapho-linguistics – the study of writing systems – the time is ripe to explore the fascinating intersection of visual art and written language with a scholarly volume on Western calligraphy studies, broadly defined.

“Revolutions are the locomotives of history,” wrote Marx 175 years ago in The Class Struggles in France, where the working and peasant classes were struggling against the capitalist system. Today, not only have the conditions of human beings failed to improve, but the rise of neo-capitalism and its imperial power has led to the rebirth of slavery in countries such as Congo and Libya, the complete destruction of third-world nations like Palasteine and Haiti by neocolonialism, and the further isolation of the working class across the globe.

Alcoholism has ruined many families, individuals and relationships. Its impact has not been restricted to just the physical health of the person but has often caused irrevocable harm to the mental health of the individual as well as those associated with the individual, making it as much a health hazard as a social concern. There are several states in India that ban the sale and use of alcohol and are designated dry states. Hooch tragedies are commonly reported.
