[UPDATE] Edited Collection - Toni Cade Bambara's Gorilla, My Love, November 1, 2010

updated: 
Wednesday, August 4, 2010 - 6:00pm
Moravian College

Studies of one or more of the short stories in Gorilla, My Love by Toni Cade Bambara will be considered for a new volume in the Dialogue series of literary studies published by Rodopi Press Amsterdam / New York, under the general editorship of Michael J. Meyer. The series offers new and experienced scholars the opportunity to present alternative readings and approaches to classic texts (those which have received canonical acceptance in either American or Continental Literature). The major goal of the series is to open the door to voices which are already silenced by the selective nature of academic presses and to encourage new approaches and insights that will both enliven the text and promote further discussion of the work in question.

From Here to There and Back Again: Allusion, Adaptation and Appropriation (Oct. 21-22 2010)

EGO - The English Graduate Organization of the University of Florida

.
2010 University of Florida Graduate Conference

October 21-22

Keynote Speaker: Douglas Lanier, University of New Hampshire. Author of _Shakespeare and Modern Popular Culture_ (2002)

The English Graduate Organization of the University of Florida invites papers from across the discipline(s) concerning textual adaptation or appropriation. Adaptation and appropriation, regarding questions of performance, translation, and occasionally plagiarism, concern both new and old media. The process of becoming or the process of naming a text are formulated on sometimes vague thresholds or border lines when one text becomes another.

Sentimentalism and Religion in Early America

updated: 
Wednesday, August 4, 2010 - 3:41pm
Society of Early Americanists 2011 - Philadelphia

This panel takes two basic, but seemingly contradictory, points as its foundation for discussion: that the usual genealogies of sentimentalism through Enlightened thought (Shaftsbury, Hume, Smith) may not be fully adequate, and that studies of sentimentalism which treat religion as a secondary category (if at all) may be a result of defining religion as a set of beliefs or ideas rather than experiences or what has been termed "lived religion." This panel embraces both these approaches—-the history of ideas and the study of daily experience—-to suggest alternative understandings of early American sentimentalism and religion.
