Postscript General Call for Papers
The Virginia Woolf Miscellany seeks short essays (2,000 words maximum) investigating Virginia Woolf's interactions with periodicals. Particularly welcome are essays that read periodicals themselves as complex cultural texts while contextualizing and/or historicizing Woolf's contributions. Essays that shed new light on Woolf's evolving attitudes towards journalism and the print marketplace are also welcome.
Submit essays via email attachment to Patrick Collier at pccollier@bsu.edu.
Deadline: 1 December 2009
Texas A&M University Corpus Christi will host Exploring the Renaissance 2010 on March 18-20 2010 at the Omni Hotel on the seafront in the heart of Corpus Christi's lively marina district. The Andrew Marvell Society will be hosting the 2010 Louis Martz lecture, to be delivered by Professor Martin Dzelzainis (Royal Holloway, University of London). A special session (with presentations by Joan Faust, George Klawitter, and Timothy Raylor) will be devoted to discussion of Marvell's difficult lyric, "The Definition of Love." Other proposals for papers or for sessions are now invited.
Proposals are especially welcomed on the following topics:
• Marvell and Milton
• Royalist Marvell
The theme of the Conference is "Afterlives: Survival and Revival". In an effort to facilitate a wide-ranging, interdisciplinary conversation, we encourage scholars working in any discipline to submit abstracts addressing this theme. The conference theme is designed to promote reflection on appropriations, adaptations and continuities in cultural production. A selection of the papers presented at the conference will be published in a special issue of The Southern African Journal of Medieval and Renaissance Studies (accredited for South African research subsidy purposes).
Suggested topics include, but are by no means limited to:
• new ways of looking at old texts
• textual appropriation and imitation
• textual transmission
We seek submissions on an ongoing basis for The CEA Forum, the online journal for teaching and learning in English studies and writing for the College English Association.

Call for Papers and Panels
What Postcolonial Theory Doesn't Say
A conference at the University of York, UK, 3-5 July 2010, in partnership with the University of Leeds and Manchester Metropolitan University
Postcolonial Studies is firmly ensconced in the Anglophone metropolitan academy: the field has its own specialised journals, academic posts, postgraduate courses, and dedicated divisions within learned bodies. But how well have these configurations travelled to other locations, institutions and disciplines? What topics, questions and approaches remain unexplored? And what's 'theoretical' about postcolonial theory anyway?
