Taking Exception: Adversarial Reading in Early Modern Culture
A Paper Panel for RSA 2025, Boston
Sponsored by the Yale Program in Early Modern Studies
The call for papers for the next general issue of the Australasian Journal of Popular Culture (ISSN 20455852 , ONLINE ISSN 20455860) is now open.
The deadline for submissions of full articles (5-6k words) is August 31 2024. The Journal is indexed in SCOPUS (among others), and its remit is broad and international. Please submit your articles for consideration (together with a short bio and institutional affiliation) to both Professor Lorna Piatti-Farnell (lorna.piatti-farnell@aut.ac.nz) and Dr Ashleigh Prosser (ashleigh.prosser@murdoch.edu.au).
From an early stage, the modern African novel has recognized the unjust challenges faced by African women. Even novels of the 1950's, such as Cyprian Ekwensi's People of the City (1954), bear witness to the difficulties that women face in transcending traditional norms as well as modern forms of objectification and exploitation. Even though these novels gesture to the need for better physical and societal realities for women, we may not find in the early novels a plan or vision of what exactly is needed for women to surmount various cultural hurdles and to fully actualize their potential in the modern realm.
STAGING SILENCE FROM ANTIQUITY TO THE RENAISSANCE
3–4 July 2025 / St John’s College, Cambridge
This two-day, in-person conference will explore developing traditions of silence in dramatic texts from antiquity to the Renaissance. Papers are sought from scholars across a range of fields, including classical reception, comparative literature, and medieval and/or early modern English literature. Topics may include:
- mute characters and/or characters who never appear on stage;
- characters who gain or lose the power of speech (welcoming perspectives e.g. from disability studies);
The Concord Museum, the David Center for the American Revolution at the American Philosophical Society, and the Massachusetts Historical Society will hold a conference on April 10-11, 2025 on the theme “1775”. The conference will be convened at the Concord Museum and marks the 250th anniversary of the battles of Lexington and Concord. There will be opportunities for attendees to visit historic sites and view objects and collections significant to the Revolution.

The field of Cognitive Linguistics has aroused growing interest in discursive and descriptive language studies. Encompassing a variety of approaches that explore the interconnection between language and human cognition, this perspective has been crucial for understanding a range of linguistic phenomena.
In order to promote the exchange of ideas and research in this field, we invite national and international researchers to submit their original and unpublished contributions that address a variety of linguistic phenomena in usage situations, exploring the intersection between discourse, grammar and cognition.
We are particularly interested in articles that fit into the following areas:
