Cha: An Asian Literary Journal (http://www.asiancha.com) is now accepting submissions for "Writing Japan," an edition of the journal devoted to work from and/or about Japan.

Our special issue "Writing Japan" encompasses writing from and/or about Japan, broadly imagined. We hope to feature work by Japanese writers and non-Japanese writers writing in relation to Japan, as well as work that challenges fixed ideas about Japanese identity and the Japanese experience. We are looking for idiosyncratic and intelligent work that explores the various meanings of "Writing Japan."

PALA, the international association for stylistics, is holding its annual conference in North America for only the second time in 37 years, this coming July, and America-based scholars are particularly invited to attend.

The “LLC – International Journal of Linguistics, Literature and Culture” is a peer reviewed journal. We welcome submissions focusing on theories, methods and applications in Linguistics, Literature and Culture.

According to LLC policy, the journal will provide:

– An agile and objective review procedure

(a review form is available on the website: see submission part)

– A letter of acceptance, which is issued right after positive reviews

– No additional costs for hard copies and post fees

I am accepting submissions for an edited collection of papers on the topic of stylistics on the borders. Stylistics has become a kind of crossroads of several disciplines over the years, and stylistics also varies as an academic subject from one country to another. Submissions in English addressing either of these topics are welcome. Publication of the volume in Paris,France is planned for autumn 2017. 

We invite proposals for the 6th Annual Conference of the European Beat Studies
Network that will take place at the Chicago University Center in Paris on 20, 21 and 22
September 2017.

University of Michigan, Ann Arbor

Keynote: Professor Ilya Kaminsky

Submission deadline: December 20th, 2016

Reading practices, in many ways, form the basis of our discipline. However, we often take them for granted, or remain unreflective about their consequences. Whether it is our close reading methodology or more broadly the perspective we adopt, ways of reading require renewed attention and scrutiny.

Symposium of the London-Paris Romanticism Seminar  with the assistance of the Société d’Études du Romantisme Anglais (SERA)

Keynote speakers :

Simon Bainbridge, Professor of Romantic Studies, Lancaster University
Alain Vaillant, Professeur, Université Paris Ouest – Nanterre
 

Scientific committee/steering group :

This conference will be devoted to the discussion of recent developments affecting the production and reception of New Zealand and Pacific literary, visual and performance arts in a global context. It will focus on a range of issues related to the creation, reception, study, translation and marketing of these forms of expression. Whereas on the one hand New Zealand and Pacific arts are being created and circulated as deriving from culturally specific locations, they have also been received, translated, taught and marketed as part of the more broadly defined category of ‘world’ culture.
