deadline for submissions: 
Friday, March 25, 2022

Considering texts broadly as documentary, artistic, visual, aural, textile, performed, or inhabited, what new kinds and uses of evidence are recovering histories through texts? We especially invite underrepresented or interdisciplinary scholarship.

The panel will seek to develop our concept of editing for new kinds of evidence and build bridges between the ADE and MLA communities. Our aim is to foster conversation between people interested in traditional and non-traditional forms of editing and researchers who are making use of new or innovative editions and collections.

Dear Scholars,

 

The effects of international migration, which has increased in the last century, on the change and transformation of social structures have also increased the interest in the phenomenon of migration. Integration, citizenship and repatriation are frequently discussed, especially in recent years, on the migrations from Syria and Afghanistan. The discussion is carried out on the following questions:

ENSFR Annual Conference, Lisbon 2022 — Short Fiction as World Literature

updated: 
Tuesday, March 8, 2022 - 6:59pm
European Network for Short Fiction Research
deadline for submissions: 
Friday, June 3, 2022

In Death of a Discipline, Gayatri Spivak mentions the problematic identification of “literature” with the novel form in comparative literature (2005: 123). Her concern with our general blindness to non-hegemonic forms recalls the consternation frequently shown in short fiction criticism toward the enduring novel-centrism of literary studies. This conference aims to bring together scholars with an interest in examining this tension and the different ways in which it may extend to the field of world literature. But our goal is not to look at the short form once again in stark opposition to the novel.
