Many popular Japanese and Korean films are inspired by other forms of media. Sometimes these films offer high profile cross-cultural adaptations, for example when Japanese manga is used to produce live action South Korean films, as in the case of Oldboy (Oldeuboi, Park Chan Wook, 2003). At other times, films are just one link in loosely connected chains of transnational, transmedia networks, as with the now pan-Asian Hana Yori Dango (Boys Over Flowers, manga created by Yoko Kamio, 1992). Moreover, there is a long history of adaptations in Japanese and Korean filmmaking, from Akira Kurosawa's famous adaptations of Shakespeare plays to contemporary adaptations of song lyrics into films like Hanamizuki (Nobuhiro Doi, 2010).

The Victorian Age is one of mobility and of transportation: goods, people and money were transported within Great Britain, across Europe, and to the far reaches of Empire. Ideas – whether economic, political, educational, religious or philosophical – were imported and exported. And far from being unemotional, the Victorians were also regularly 'transported' by emotions which doctors, scientists and psychologists tried to theorise.
This conference seeks to redefine the parameters of transport through inter-disciplinary approaches to material, metaphorical and metaphysical journeys during the Victorian era. Papers on global crossings are particularly welcome.

49th International Congress on Medieval Studies, Kalamazoo, May 8-11, 2014

The boundaries between science and the humanities as we perceive them now were less definitively drawn in the past; unlike modern science with its protocols and procedures, its laws and regulations, medieval science encouraged the intermingling of otherwise disparate categories of things, often to startling effect. This session seeks paper that re-examine Gower's experiments with alchemy and astronomy, re-launch his explorations into outer space (the macrocosm), study its effects on the human body (the microcosm), and note the poetic richness such excursions into new scientific knowledge provide.

250-word abstracts by 15 September, 2013.
