If you have a project concerning works by North American native
artists/writers that can be discussed under the rather broad umbrella of
"popular culture," please send a 250-word proposal to me at
scott.andrews_at_csun.edu. This is for a proposed panel at the Native
American Literature Symposium on March 27-29 at the Mystic Lake Hotel and
Casino just outside Minneapolis, Minn. Your project could involve music,
television, cinema, performance art, comic books, graphic
novels, stand-up comedy, graffiti, powwow souvenirs, advertising,
MySpace... you get the idea.

Please send your proposals by Oct. 15.

CFP: [Victorian] "Get a Move On!": Nineteenth Century Migration and Mobility

"Get a Move On!": Nineteenth Century Migration and Mobility
A Graduate English Conference sponsored by the University of South
Carolina
Dates: March 7-8, 2008
Keynote Speaker: Ian Duncan, University of California, Berkeley

Immigrants and expatriots, sailors and soldiers, travelers and wanderers,
men and women: people in the nineteenth century were moving. Novels and
new inventions such as railroads, steamships, and street cars provided
vehicles of transport for individuals and their imaginations, while the
transnational movements of ideas and populations gave rise to a newly
globalized Anglo-American literature.

CFP: [Graduate] Hypertext and Intertext: Recasting the Master Narrative (grad panel, 10/15/07; 2/29-3/1/08)

updated:

Cynthia Calhoun

Jasper Fforde’s popular series of literary detective novels, beginning
with The Eyre Affair, popularized a little-studied literary trope:
intertextual references and devices that subvert the linear master
narrative. From farting bookworms to the “footnoterphone,” Fforde
utilizes font types, footnotes, and misspellings to argue for a multi-
textuality in his novels. How have other writers done the same? For
what purpose? How does this practice affect us as readers? This panel
seeks critical and creative presentations that explore these questions.
Topics may include self-referencing, online hypertext, multiple
narrators, and much more.
