Sweet Home Chicago? Rethinking Blues Literature
MLA 2019
Chicago, IL 3 January – 6 January 2019
What is the current state of Blues Literature? It has been well over thirty years since Houston Baker Jr.’s Blues, Ideology, and Afro-American Literature: A Vernacular Theory (1984) put blues back on the critical map. Much has changed since then. Even with innovative interventions in the field (Davis, Bolden, Gussow, McGinley), blues literature has fallen out of vogue within academic circles. This panel seeks to rethink blues literature's critical value.

Deadline: 500-1,000 word abstracts due by July 1, 2018.
The research program MEDIA (TransCrit, EA 1569) is organizing a one-day workshop on brand placement in film and TV series. The workshop will be held at the University of Paris 8 on Friday 15 June 2018.
Neither an artistic choice nor a coincidence, brand placement started to be used as soon as the movie industry was created but in a moderate way. Due to the rising costs of film production, this financial partnership has progressively become unavoidable to such an extent that a certain number of Hollywood movies and series could not be produced without it. The same applies, perhaps even to a larger degree, to TV shows, even though their production mode sometimes places them side-by-side with regular TV commercials.
The Journal of Pedagogic Development invites your submissions for the July 2018 issue.
Submissions in the 2000-8000 word range will be considered, with a focus on teaching, learning and pedagogy necessary for inclusion. There is no preference for any particular academic subject, and all papers will be peer reviewed.
Please see the weblink for more details: https://journals.beds.ac.uk/ojs/index.php/jpd/index
We are happy to discuss your submission if you have questions.
The Journal of Pedagogic Development publishes three times a year -- in March, July and November -- in hard copy and online.
