CALL FOR PAPERS: LITERARY TRANSNATIONALISM(S)
(http://bcla.org/2015/02/26/call-for-papers-literary-transnationalisms/)
Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (Belgium) will be hosting a conference entitled ‘Literary Transnationalism(s)‘ on 8-10 October 2015.
From the organisers:
In recent approaches to literary studies we notice a turning away from an (almost) exclusive attention to national literatures in favor of a variety of “transnational” approaches. One may here think of world literature and geocriticism, but also of the so-called “-phone” studies, i.e. anglophone, francophone, hispanophone, or lusophone, but increasingly also sinophone and other linguistically-inspired categories, often from a postcolonial perspective, in the case of literatures in European languages, but sometimes also from an “imperial” point of view, as has sometimes been argued with respect, precisely, to sinophone developments. But it is equally possible to consider not necessarily linguistically but rather culturally, historically, or geographically related areas such as “Europe,” the Americas (often now referred to as “hemispheric America”), the Caribbean or the Mediterranean, the Atlantic or the Pacific Rim, the Indian Ocean, or the Silk Road. There is room for both synchronic and diachronic reflections on any or all of these approaches.
The conference will bring together a number of leading international theoreticians, critics and literary historians. Confirmed participants include: David Damrosch (Harvard University), Djelal Kadir (Pennsylvania State University), Longxi Zhang (City University of Hong Kong), Svend Erik Larsen (Aarhus University), Hans Bertens(Utrecht University, President of the International Comparative Literature Association), Ottmar Ette (University of Potsdam), César Domínguez (University of Santiago de Compostela), Jean Bessière(University of Paris III: Sorbonne Nouvelle), Elleke Boehmer(University of Oxford).
The organisers would like to offer participants the opportunity to test their own insights, theories and proposals in an intensive exchange of views with these internationally recognised authorities. At the same time the international experts will be invited to not only consider their own specialty, but to at least partially adopt a meta-stance, reflecting on their own approach next to and in relation to the other approaches highlighted.
Proposals for 25-minute papers should be sent to Dagmar Vandebosch and/or Theo D’haen. Deadline for abstracts is 15 March 2015. Early submission is encouraged.

 | Histories of Violence: War and Memory

http://www.h-net.org/announce/show.cgi?ID=198031 Hello HAW -- I'd be grateful if you'd circulate this CFP on the HAW list. Best, Jessie Kindig Call for Papers: Histories of Violence: War and Memory The Northwestern University Critical American Studies Working Group seeks presenters and participants for a day-long Histories of Violence symposium on Friday, May 10, 2013. This event will be held at Northwestern University’s Evanston campus. Histories of Violence constitutes a new intellectual movement that intersects with multiple fields of interdisciplinary inquiry, including American Studies, Literary Studies, Ethnic Studies, History, Theater Studies, Anthropology, and Performance Studies. Defined by particular narrative, archival, and pedagogical questions, emerging work in Histories of Violence recognizes the non-linearity and in/visibility of violent experiences while seeking to empower witnesses, survivors, and descendents of violence. This symposium explores Histories of Violence through the theme of War and Memory. Specifically, we seek papers that address the long and broad aftermaths of war, including those that mobilize the figures of veterans, refugees, colonial subjects, and sex workers. We are interested in the transnational circulation of violence, weapons, tactics, and symbols, as well as the relationship between violence and power both in the United States and in transnational context. How do people remember violent experience, and what are the social costs of such memories? What legacies of American violence continue to shape identity, projects of empire, and political discourse? Can we read the relationship between state and interpersonal violence in memory? Lisa Lowe (Tufts University, Department of English) will be the featured keynote speaker. The symposium will be organized as a set of roundtable discussions; rather than deliver papers in a traditional panel format, presenters will share pre-circulated conference-length papers with symposium participants. Lunch and dinner will be provided. We invite paper abstracts of no more than 300 words, sent as e-mail attachments to historiesofviolence@gmail.com. Please include your contact information and affiliation, as well as any unusual audio/visual requirements. The roundtables will be assembled by conference organizers. The deadline for submissions is November 28, 2012. For those who wish to attend but not to present, please send an e-mail of interest. |
