“Invisible Secrets in Pre-1865 American Literature” (SAMLA) Recent scholarly approaches in antebellum American literature emphasizes the role of secrets and secrecy, as in Dominick Mastroianni’s Politics and Skepticism in Antebellum American Literature (2022); essays on secrecy in Emily Dickinson’s poetry (Jeffrey Simons, Paul Scott Derrick, 2011); and the secret lives of nineteenth-century literature (Harper, Dickinson, Melville, 2022) in digital media, as Kayla Shipp has argued. This panel explores the way that unstated ideas, points, or secrets are exchanged in antebellum American literature.

Call for papers “Nationalisms: Languages and Identities”
This issue, edited by Irene Arbusti and Armando Francesconi, aims at exploring critical perspectives on the relationship between identities, nationalisms and territories, including theories, methodologies, practices and tools for understanding this complex interaction. Articles, both theoretical and empirical, may analyse both European and non-European contexts and should adhere to the following themes:
— languages, aesthetics and modes of expression of nationalisms;
— methods of analysis of contemporary nationalism;
— social movements and relations with local identities;
— the role of space, place and belonging in the formation of identities.
