Call for Papers:
Early Native American Literature
39th convention of the Northeast Modern Language Association (NEMLA)
Dates: April 10-13, 2008
Buffalo, NY
In his recent book, The People and the Word, Robert Warrior speaks of
a "strengthening of the historical arc of Native writing" to consider how
Native American literatures of the past might be of use to us today. This
panel invites papers that focus on pre-twentieth century Native writers
(or writers on the cusp of the 20th century)examining, among other things,
how these authors negotiated their private ambitions and needs alongside
traditional concerns and the demands of print discourse.

Orphic Cinema
39th Convention, Northeast Modern Language Association (NeMLA)
April 10-13, 2008
Buffalo, New York
Cinematic approaches to spontaneous individual creativity. How does cinema
inflect or challenge the link between artist and object? How have films
addressed the constitution of creative acts? How have they balanced the
diverse factors that make claims on the essence of creation in the western
tradition, including personal expression, aesthetics, medial specificity,
and ideology? Essays on Cocteau's Orphic Trilogy are especially encouraged,
but any essay on creation in cinema is welcome. 250-500 word abstracts by
9/15/07 as Word or .rtf attachments to sean.desilets_at_gmail.com.
The Departments of Philosophy and Comparative Literature at Emory
University will be hosting the second independent conference for the
Hannah Arendt Circle, March 28-30, 2008.
Papers on any aspect of Arendt's work, as well as studies, critiques, and
applications of her thinking, are welcome.
Please send an abstract of the paper, by e-mail (750 word limit).
Abstracts should be formatted for anonymous review and submitted to the
program committee chair, Stephen Schulman, at sschulman_at_elon.edu on or
before November 14th, 2007.
Fin de Siecle Seminar - Call for Papers REMINDER
Call for Papers
University of Oxford Fin de Siècle Seminar, 1870-1930
Fin de Siècle is an interdisciplinary seminar series based at the
University of Oxford, which aims to develop fresh perspectives on
literature, society, and the arts between 1870 and 1930. In the seven
years since its inception, the series has provided a lively forum for
both graduates and established academics, hosting presentations on
subjects as diverse as publishing and the Wilde trials, travel writing
and the feminist movement, socialism and the occult.
For the upcoming essay collection "Writing (and) the Digital Generation"
(under contract with McFarland), I am soliciting contributions that analyze
the many facets of participatory digital entertainment. The key assumption
of this project is that, contrary to the claim that “no one reads anymore,â€
a vast “Digital Generation†actually engages in more rhetorical activity
than perhaps any before. This collection seeks essays that describe and
document these participatory activities and how they are changing how we
see writing, perhaps permanently.
This is a call for papers for a Saint Louis University-sponsored session
on Archbishop Wulfstan and his Canon Law Collection which will take place
at the International Congress of Medieval Studies at the University of
Western Michigan in Kalamazoo, May 8-11, 2008.
Although best known for his Sermo Lupi ad Anglos, Archbishop Wulfstan
(Wulfstan II) was also Canon Law collector, political theorist, and law
writer. This session seeks to explore the Canon Law Collection of
Wulfstan in terms of its sources, application, and context in late 8th-
century and early 9th-century England. Of specific interest is the
relationship between Wulfstan’s collections and other, non Canon-Law
related texts.
