Oriental Interiors: Identity, Performance, Space

updated: 
Thursday, November 28, 2013 - 1:22pm
Dr. John Potvin, Concordia University

Since the publication of Edward Said's ground breaking Orientalism 35 years ago, numerous studies have explored the West's fraught long-lasting fascination with the so-called Orient. These studies have focused their critical attention on the literary and pictorial arts, often forgetting the importance material culture and space has played in the formation of perceptions and receptions of the exoticized Other. This volume specifically seeks to explore the perceptions, importations and adaptations of Oriental interiors to and within a Western context. Orientalist spaces took numerous and varied forms, whether private or public, civic, domestic or commercial, all of which are of interest here.

The English faculty of the University of Montenegro is glad to announce its tenth anniversary of organizing conferences on English and American studies. So far these conferences have been attended by scholars and teachers from all around the world and have produced twelve books published by the Faculty of Philosophy, University of Montenegro, and the British publisher Cambridge Scholars. We have worked hard to collect a rich corpus that would help researchers from all the Anglo-American disciplines and hope that our future endeavours will be as productive.

Balkans in Contemporary Travel Writing, June 19-21 2014

updated: 
Thursday, November 28, 2013 - 12:05pm
Faculty of Philosophy, University of Montenegro

In her seminal study Imagining Balkans Maria Todorova observed travellers and travel writers have always been the first to make communicative links between various political, cultural, and geographic units and parts of the world, and therefore, they have also been the first interpreters of the travelled world. As much as travel writing tells about that world, the heritage of travel writers mirrors the conceptual world that initiated their travels, providing fertile ground to investigate the question of why the "other" appears exactly as it does through the traveler's perspective. As we have witnessed abrupt changes in the region in the last two decades, our conference will be devoted to the analysis of travel writing created during this period.

ACULTY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME FDP on COMMUNICATION SKILLS FOR CHANGE MANAGEMENT IN CLASSROOMS"

updated: 
Thursday, November 28, 2013 - 7:05am
Department of Humanities, MJP Rohilkhand University, Bareilly. U.P. India

There has been seen a vast gap between the teachers and students in our classrooms despite the best of efforts from both the sides. It is relevant then to stop and take a close look at what is wrong and needs mending. There should be a programme in Teaching Pedagogy to reorient teachers to meet this gap. The Programme should aim at enabling professionals to disseminate formal information effectively, understand the intricacies of communicating most clearly and comprehensibly in the chosen medium to provide an insight into effective teaching.

CFP for edited collection on Arrested Development [EXPANDED CALL]

updated: 
Wednesday, November 27, 2013 - 6:05pm
Dr. Kristin M. Barton

Over the course of its original three-year run on Fox, the television series Arrested Development quickly became a cult favorite and earned twenty-two Emmy nominations and six wins, including Outstanding Comedy Series in 2004. Unafraid to push boundaries, the series routinely satirized issues of race, sexuality, family, love, politics, and class, to name only a few. Combined with its sophisticated writing and its perfectly cast group of series regulars, the show became a layered and intricate look into modern society and one of the funniest sitcoms to emerge in the last decade.
