CFP - Essay Collection: Critical Perspectives on YA Literature, Culture, and
Blood

At the intersection of a number of YA texts is blood. Naturally or
supernaturally, self-inflicted or due to trauma, literally and
metaphorically, teen blood is shed in a variety of ways and for a variety of
purposes in stories written for a teen audience. We are seeking articles
for a proposed collection that connect with their consideration of teen
blood in YA literature and culture. We are especially interested in
critical examinations of contemporary YA texts and genres that have yet to
receive much critical attention.

Coordinates of Comparison: Text, Readers, & Theories
Comparative Literature Conference
29–31 August 2007
University of Alberta
Edmonton, AB

CALL FOR PAPERS

Comparative Literature has traditionally been centred on the
comparison of texts from diverse languages and cultures. Texts,
however, are merely one coordinate where comparisons converge; more
recent scholarship has taken comparative analysis to other regions of
investigation, including readers themselves and the theories that
underpin literary research. Exploring the territories that map the
comparative field is the concern of this conference; we solicit papers
from any field concerned with the study of literature.

CFP: Contraband in the Americas (11/15/07; collection)

DAVID KELMAN

CALL FOR MANUSCRIPTS

_Contraband in the Americas_
Deadline: November 15, 2007

We invite chapter proposals for an edited volume that will focus on the
representation of contraband in the Americas. We are primarily
interested in the illegal movement of goods across borders or other
frontiers, and how this contraband economy changes the way the Americas
are imagined. This project responds to an emerging body of literary and
cultural criticism on the topic of informal/illegal economies and secret
commerce. Our volume seeks to show that these individual studies form a
new field in the cultural history of the Americas.
