Dear colleagues,
We would like to invite proposals for articles for an international blind peer-review scientific journal (Twenty-eighth CFP)
“Problems of Education in the 21st Century” ISSN 1822-7864
http://www.jbse.webinfo.lt/Problems_of_Education.htm
http://www.scientiasocialis.lt/pec/
Proposals are invited for a session on “Minority Cultural Production and the Ethics of Pedagogies of Dissent” to be held at the American Studies Association conference in Chicago, Illinois from November 9-12th 2017.
Perhaps no other set of cultural objects has been more repeatedly called upon in pedagogies of dissent than minority cultural productions. Indeed, minority cultural production is often tasked to teach histories of domination and resistance along the axis of race, class, gender, and sexuality. Yet, such a task can often slides into liberal pedagogies of sympathetic identification and tolerance in which the aim is no longer material social transformation but personal understanding.
BECKETT RESEARCH GROUP IN GDAŃSK
The main theme of the University of Gdańsk Samuel Beckett Seminar in 2017 is:
SHORT FORMS IN BECKETT. FRAGMENTS
Samuel Beckett’s prose and drama can pose many difficulties for a reader unfamiliar with their idiosyncrasies. Fragmentariness, or various fragmentary structures, narrative and dramatic alike, can be considered as one tenet of Beckett’s oeuvre, especially of his later works. However, what do we mean when we describe his works in this fashion? What is, for example, the fragmentary narrative of The Unnamable or The Lost Ones? Can we even speak of narrative in the first place, or do we, perhaps, need a redefinition of narrative?
