Utopic Identity and Liminality in African American Literature

This panel seeks presentations about the proclivity of African American racial space. That is, this panel is interested in when and where conceptions of spatial race formalities are conducted. We can think of “space” as time, place, and movement—the constant liminal changing of identities. This panel invites abstracts, of no more than 250 words, for presentations on African American literature at the Midwest Modern Language Association conference. Some topics might include:

Our interdisciplinary conference is intended as a fitting opportunity for this reflection.

South Atlantic Review Special Issue: “Post-Normative?”

Guest Editors: Horacio Sierra, Bowie State University & Austin Svedjan, Louisiana State University

We are pleased to announce our call for book proposals for the new Methuen Drama Agitations Series. 

Please read below for more information and if interested, please contact one of the editors at the email below.

Theatre has always offered immediate responses to political, social, economic and cultural crisis events that are local, national and/or global in dimension, establishing itself as a prime medium of engagement.

In Ellen Forney’s autobiographical comic Marbles: Mania, Depression, Michelangelo and Me (2012), the author narrates her journey following her bipolar disorder diagnosis, a journey that sets off an exploration into how her art is connected to that of the “crazy artists” of the past. Just like Vincent van Gogh and Sylvia Plath, whose work has been connected to their mental health status, Forney explores how her condition possibly influenced her art.

CONCEPT NOTE

CALL FOR PAPERS

Life Narratives: Prismatic World of the Author and Beyond

Call for chapters.

This is a call for any scholar and Early Career Researcher interested in taking part in a project whose final aim is to publish an edited book about Romanticism and art in Latin America. 

This project intends to reappraise the development of Romanticism in Latin America from a critical perspective incorporating feminism, decolonial thinking, Marxism, LGBTI studies, Queer theory, among others, in the analysis of this phenomenon’s main topics. Thereby, those proposals with a particular emphasis on the impact of issues such as class, gender, and race on the visual representation of landscape, nature and people will be very well received.

In recent decades, research has repeatedly demonstrated the overrepresentation of boys and men in children’s media (tv and movies, literature, and games). This field of research has, justifiably, focused primarily on the impact of this inequality on girls and women and has grown to consider not only the quantity of representations but also their content.
