Call for Papers

Scholars working on Africa-related topics are often faced with social, cultural or linguistic gaps that open up in the translation from one form of cultural representation to another. This conference seeks to explore translation, not only on a linguistic level, but in relation to the spaces and tensions between one cultural form or practice and another, one medium and another, or between reality and representation.

From the turn of the twentieth century's reverence for nostalgia to contemporary criticism's concern with the way it distorts, nostalgia has been a central part of children's literature and theory. Is nostalgia critically productive? To what ends does nostalgia work? Papers examining nostalgia's role in criticism or using nostalgia as the theoretical lens through which to read specific works of children's literature from any era are welcome. Please send 500 word proposals to Lee Talley at talleyl@rowan.edu by March 15, 2010.
