North American Society for the Study of Romanticism
deadline for submissions:

Romantic-era approaches to popular belief, from the philosophical to the sociological, had different ways of framing the “common.” Common beliefs might be framed as ordinary, intuitive, or rooted in common sentiment; or might in contrast suggest vulgar or popular belief, as in the category of “popular superstitions.” This panel will look at Romantic-era constructions of common or popular belief, with topics that might include (but are not limited to): “Common Sense” philosophy and intuitive belief; popular religion; folklore and supernatural beliefs; cultures of popular magic; or other approaches to “traditional” belief.

Teaching Poe's Humor - ALA 2025 Poe Studies Association Teaching Panel

updated: 
Thursday, December 5, 2024 - 12:18pm
Poe Studies Association
deadline for submissions: 
Friday, January 10, 2025

Edgar Allan Poe worked for a double audience (the popular and the critical), in double tones and manners (grim and mocking, metaphysical and pseudo-scientific). Whether he strove for alternance or interdependence between the terms “grotesque” and “arabesque” which he used to categorize his own narratives, critics such as G. R. Thompson and Dennis Eddings have argued that the former – more visible in tales such as “King Pest,” “Some Words with a Mummy,” “Lionizing,” and “Loss of Breath” -  underscored the carnivalesque, the satirical, and the hoaxical.
