The Romantic (R)Evolution: De-bordering Romanticism

updated: 
Monday, September 16, 2024 - 5:50am
NeMLA
deadline for submissions: 
Monday, September 30, 2024

This panel seeks proposals to approach Romanticism as a (r)evolutionary mode of thinking. We invite abstracts to revolutionize and de-border the conventional Eurocentric Romantic boundaries in genres, forms, styles, themes, cultural legacies, and critical methods. Proposals are invited to transcend Romanticism of the Romantic Era to a new timeless global Romanticism of both historicity and modernity that contributes to ideological diversity. From the old pan-European Romanticism to a new international Romanticism, reading Romantic Literature as World Literature, this panel welcomes new creative approaches to interpret works by the Romantics.

Eighteenth-Century Cats! [ID 68]
Chair: Taylin Nelson, ASECS Graduate and Early Career Caucus, Rice University, tpn2@rice.edu

Weekend: March 28/29

What is an Internet-based conference without addressing the Internet’s favorite topic: cats!? This panel seeks papers interested in exploring eighteenth-century cats in their many facets and figurations. Cats abound during this period: from big cats in the natural histories, moralizing cats in fables and children’s stories, mysterious and symbolic cats in the art of Fragonard or Chardin, to real-life cats in the lives of Samuel Johnson or Horace Walpole.

Call for Reviews on Free Speech and Censorship

Modern Language Studies, the journal of the Northeast Modern Language Association, is seeking reviews for the summer 2025 issue. In recent years, the temperature has risen around free speech debates, and books on censorship and free speech come out with such frequency that it is hard to keep abreast of the new scholarship. I am interested in receiving reviews and review essays on academic books published in the last several years that are in some way related to free speech. The books to be reviewed can center on any historical, geographical, or disciplinary context, and the reviews and review essays can be written from (almost) any theoretical perspective.
