The William Dean Howells Society welcomes submissions for two panels at the 2014 American Literature Association conference in Washington D.C. on May 22 – 25.
Panel 1: New Approaches to Teaching William Dean Howells
Submission deadline: March 6, 2014
Portals invites original critical essays and short creative fiction that explore comparative literary topics across cultural, regional, linguistic, and temporal boundaries for the Spring 2014 issue. This edition will be available in scholarly journal listings worldwide.
Formal requirements for original critical essays:
We are soliciting one or two additional contributions (approx. 7,000 words) for a book collection focusing on U.S. Cold War literature and the rest of the world. Just as increasing attention has been given to the transnational turn in American Studies (Rowe) and to the idea of "postnationalist" identities (Pease), Cold War literary and cultural studies has become more interested in the effects of the global Cold War (in contrast to studies of domestic repression that tended to dominate the field in the 1990s).

'WHAT WAS NOT SAID',
TFQM APRIL 2014.
Deadline: 28th February, 2014
Almost all literature is an unsilencing of sorts, an articulation of what is seen and felt, or lived, but perhaps not spoken of too easily. In fact, one of the main tasks of a writer is to give flesh and blood – and a voice! – to the people who inhabit the pages of a book (or an online magazine). These voices must draw readers into their worlds, their souls, their aches.
'Voicing' – talking, speaking up, writing – is integral to freedom, love, empathy, and therefore also to peace. By extension, not saying something, not being able to (not being allowed to) is a danger sign. It hints at fractured relationships, mistrust, oppression.
