CALL FOR PAPERS
The New York Metro American Studies Association (NYMASA) announces a call for papers for our 2009 annual one-day conference:
A More Perfect Union?
November 14, 2009
9:00am-5:30pm
St. John's University, Downtown Manhattan campus
Our annual conference this year explores the appeal of and challenges to the national ideal of "a more perfect union," initially posited at the emergence of the legal entity known as "the United States."
Eighteenth-century satire was, as contemporary observers knew, thoroughly implicated in the circumstances of secular history. Yet many of these contemporaries defended satire by explaining its acrimonious intervention in current affairs as incidental to its articulation of sacred moral truths. Samuel Johnson's definition captures this felt tension: "A poem in which wickedness or folly is censured. Proper satire is distinguished, by the generality of the reflections, from a lampoon which is aimed against a particular person; but they are too frequently confounded." And even today explanations of satire still tend towards a kind of "generality" that explains away many historical details as incidental or secondary.
Four Dimensions: Spatio-Temporal Shifts Reflected in Nineteenth-Century Literature (panel name)
The American Studies Graduate Committee at the University of Texas at Austin calls for papers for its upcoming graduate conference, "Division Street, U.S.A.," to be held in Austin on September 24-25, 2009. Our keynote speaker will be Eric Lott, Professor of Americna Studies and Cultural Studies at the University of Virginia.
Deadline extended to June 15, 2009.
Praeger has contracted with us to publish a three-volume reference set titled "Muslims in American Popular Culture" in 2010/2011. The first collection of its kind, MIAPC will be marketed mainly to university, public, and secondary school libraries. We are looking for accessible articles of various lengths on a wide variety of topics within the categories of contemporary American Muslim entertainment, communities, social concerns, religious expression, and politics.
Margaret Atwood and Canada/ Canadians: Interventions, Influences, Interconnections
This panel attempts to situate the preeminent author Margaret Atwood within a Canadian context. Although much has been written about Atwood, little scholarship to date addresses her Canadian-ness and her relationship with other Canadians such as the artist Charles Pachter, or the novelist Margaret Laurence. Atwood has written extensively about Canadian culture and literature in her books Survival, Second Words, and Strange Things. As an early member of the editorial board of Anansi Press, she has been influential in the Canadian literary scene.
"Beauvoir Reloaded: Possibilities and Dangers with 'The Second Sex"
41st Anniversary Convention, Northeast Modern Language Association (NeMLA April 7-11, 2010 Montreal, Quebec - Hilton Bonaventure
Like Godot, a proper translation of Simone de Beauvoir's 'The Second Sex' is never here, it is always 'still on the way.' Since it now appears that we may finally get the long-awaited new
translation, this would be a good time to discuss some of the possibilities -- and some of the dangers -- that the new translation will present. Some ideas, intended to spur possible topics but by no means to limit them:

Call for Papers: Captive Senses and Aesthetic Habits.
A joint graduate conference between English Language & Literature and Art History
Fourth Annual Graduate Conference ~ October 8-9, 2009
The University of Chicago
But what sort of sense is constitutive of the everydayness? Surely this sense includes not sense so much as sensuousness, . . . a knowledge that lies as much in the objects and spaces of observation as in the body and mind of the observer.
– Michael Taussig, "Tactility and Distraction"
