University of Jendouba (Tunisia) CFP - "Rewriting, Again"

University of Jendouba (Tunisia)
Higher Institute for Human Sciences
Department of English

Call for Papers

Rewriting, Again
April, 13-14 2011

The topic of our international conference this year is REWRITING, which was the focus of our last year’s study day. Owing to the success of the study day, there has been a common agreement among all colleagues and the study day participants that a one-day study day is not enough to cover this multifaceted topic which has innumerable ramifications and touches on all forms of discourse production/interpretation and concerns all disciplines ranging from Cultural Studies, Translation Studies, Literary Theory, History of Ideas, Discourse studies…

To rewrite is to write again, to act on a written record from a different sensibility, ideology and perspective. Along with the general democratisation process that characterises most societies today helped by Globalisation and the revolution it brought about in ICTs, the voices which have been up to now silenced are making themselves heard. History and knowledge are no longer the monopoly of one group, and a whole corpus of established canonical textual institutions is being challenged.
André Lefevere rightfully states that "[a]ll rewritings, whatever their intention, reflect a certain ideology and a poetics" (Lefevere 1992b: vii). This rewriting is necessarily manipulative of the already written discourse to "function in a given society in a given way" (ibid.). Whether deliberately
or inadvertently, a text is the result of self-rewriting, or a rewriting of another text, through inter-textual affiliation, or through premeditated attempts at reshaping existing sources. It follows that more and more artistic, literary and ideological trends have undertaken rewriting with a more conscious and serious attitude, as a way to rectify, alter or even contest the canonical authority of tradition.

The construct of rewriting has also gained ground with the common agreement among all literary approaches today that the role of the reader in constructing meaning is central. We moved from a situation where the reader's responsibility lies at best in exploring authorial intention, to a situation where the reader is an inevitable partner of the author in constructing meaning, and finally to a situation where the author is denied any authority over meaning before reading takes place.

Starting from these assumptions, our conference welcomes scholars and writers who wish to contribute papers that embark on the following issues:

Rewriting and Inter-textual connections.
Rewriting, political reform and/or political repression.
Rewriting history.
Rewriting and correction.
Tradition, authority, and rewriting.
The reader/reader response and rewriting.
Rewriting and empowering.
Post-structuralism and re-writing
Discourse studies and rewriting.
Linguistics and rewriting
Rewriting, translation and translation theories.
Rewriting and religious authority.
Rewriting in feminist tradition.
Creative writing and rewriting.
Rewriting and postcolonial theory
Rewriting and religious revisionism

Please e-mail your 300-word abstract before the February 28, 2011 to:

sabeur.mdallel@tunet.tn

N. B. The organisers offer accommodation to all participants except those who live in Jendouba in a lovely hotel in the forest of Ain Draham.

CRYTC

The Centre for Research in Young People's Texts and Cultures (CRYTC) supports scholarly inquiry into literary, media, and other cultural texts for children and youth. Directed by the Canada Research Chair in the Culture of Childhood, Mavis Reimer, with assistance from the Research Coordinator, Larissa Wodtke, the Centre provides a focus for research in the field at the University of Winnipeg, houses the journal Jeunesse: Young People, Texts, Cultures (formerly, Canadian Children's Literature/Littérature canadienne pour la jeunesse), facilitates the development and management of collaborative national and international research projects, hosts visiting speakers and researchers, and maintains links with other research centres in children's studies internationally.

CRYTC was established by the University of Winnipeg in 2006, in order to recognize, organize, and extend the expertise in the study of texts for children and youth that had developed at the University, principally through the Department of English, over more than thirty years. Key figures in the history of the field at the U of W include Dr. Kay Stone, who offered the first course in children's literature in the Department in the 1970s and whose article "Things Walt Disney Never Told Us" stands as one of the most quoted pieces of research in the field; Dr. Perry Nodelman, whose many books and articles have put him in the first ranks internationally of critics and theorists in the field; and Dr. Mavis Reimer, who was awarded the Canada Research Chair in the Culture of Childhood in 2005, directs the activities of CRYTC and currently edits Jeunesse. The continuing vitality of the field at the U of W and at the Centre is fuelled by the lively exchanges of ideas among faculty researchers and teachers, student researchers and research assistants, and visitors.
As our name implies, CRYTC is a place for research. The Centre houses four faculty offices, in addition to an office for the Editor of Jeunesse and the Research Coordinator. As well, we have a multi-media Research/Meeting Room and a Research Assistant Room with three workstations. For information on booking the Research/Meeting Room or a Research Assistant workstation, please fill out this form and return it to Larissa Wodtke.

CFP - Resisting “Americanization” in Literature for Young People

Deadline date: 

15 Dec 2010

 

CALL FOR PAPERS: Resisting “Americanization” in Literature for Young People ( 2011 Diversity Committee Panel at the Children's Literature Association annual conference)

In the past, children’s and young adult narratives have focused on the assimilation of marginalized populations into U.S. culture, often through a character’s attempts to take on aspects of identity traditionally privileged by members of the dominant culture. In recent years, this “melting pot” mentality has been interrogated by authors, and current narratives frequently depict characters who resist or complicate this process of “Americanization,” choosing instead to retain their cultural and self-identities.

This year, the Diversity Committee seeks paper proposals on the topic of resisting “Americanization.” Papers might examine how authors complicate discourse about what it means to be(come) “American” or consider how narratives resist or reinscribe traditional conceptions of “Americanization.” Essays could address issues of language, naming, and traditions, or explore how sexual identity, gender, class, religion, or family structure factor into representations of what it means and looks like to be considered “American.”

Direct questions to co-chairs Thomas Crisp (tcrisp@sar.usf.edu) or Sarah Park (spark@stkate.edu). Email a 500-word abstract and a 2-page CV only to spark@stkate.edu by December 15, 2010. Please label your abstract in the titles of attached documents, and contact information (email and phone number).

CFP - The translation and reception of Grimm's fairy tales

Deadline date: 

10 Nov 2010

 

Call for papers:
The translation and reception of Grimm’s fairy tales

The fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm belong to the most frequently translated and best known stories in the world. A systematic history of the translation of these tales and their reception outside of Germany still needs to be written, and parallels between the reception in different countries or parts of the world are yet largely unexplored. With this volume, we hope to gain insight into the afterlife of the Grimm tales in translation, and how they merged with the fairy-tale traditions of other countries and inspired new writings. Also, the critical reception of the Brothers Grimm’s fairy tales, both in scholarship and in fiction is part of this reception.
We invite contributions on the following themes

• The translation history of Grimm’s fairy tales in a given language or country (overview articles)
• The publishing and editorial history of Grimm’s fairy tales in any given language or country
• The reception of Grimm’s fairy tales in any specific language, country or culture as literature for adults or children
• The translation history of the Grimm tales in a given language or country: articles with a focus on a specific historical period, such as the mid-nineteenth century, the 1920s, the Second World War, or the 1970s
• The translation history of a given Grimm tale in a certain language or country
• The shifting audience (children, adults, mixed) of the Grimm tales in translation
• Prefaces to translations of the Kinder- und Hausmärchen
• The reception of the Grimm tales as compared to fairy tales by other authors / collectors such as Perrault and Andersen
• The influence of the Kinder- und Hausmärchen on fairy-tale authors or the fairy-tale tradition in a given country
• Illustrations to the Kinder- und Hausmärchen in a given country and their interaction with the translations
• The Brothers Grimm as characters in stories, films, parodies

Authors who want to contribute a chapter to this book are invited to send a 500-word abstract and short biography to grimm@ua.ac.be by 10 November 2010. Full-length articles of 4000 words (overview articles) or 8000 words (case studies) will be requested by 1 November 2011 and submitted to peer review. The volume will be edited by Dr. Gillian Lathey (Roehampton University) and Dr. Vanessa Joosen (Antwerp University) and is expected to appear in 2012.

CALL FOR PROPOSALS - Sliding Doors in a Pluralistic Society: Critical Approaches to and Intercultural Perspectives on Diversity in Contemporary Literature for Children and Young Adults

Deadline date: 

1 Nov 2010

 

CALL FOR PROPOSALS

Editors: Jamie Campbell Naidoo, Ph.D. and Sarah Park, Ph.D.

Tentative Title: Sliding Doors in a Pluralistic Society: Critical Approaches to and Intercultural Perspectives on Diversity in Contemporary Literature for Children and Young Adults

Publisher: ALA Editions

Youth deserve to encounter authentic and accurate representations of their cultures in books, libraries, and classrooms. Twenty-first century librarians and educators can be poised to meet the informational, recreational, and cultural needs of youth by providing high-quality children’s and young adult literature and literacy activities that reflect the culturally pluralistic society of the United States.
For our edited volume, we seek chapters that address the growing demands of school media specialists, public youth librarians, classroom teachers, and other educators for information on selecting materials and creating literacy and library programs to meet the needs of children and young adults in our culturally pluralisitic society. We define diversity not only in terms of race and culture, but also in age, ability, religious preferences, family composition, and so on. By providing new critical and intercultural approaches to diversity in contemporary literature for children and young adults, this book will provide theoretical frameworks that consider the over-arching issues which continue to expand and break boundaries in youth literature. These approaches can assist librarians and other educators in choosing, evaluating, and selecting quality children’s and YA literature and using it to meet the literacy (informational, reading, cultural, etc.) needs of the increasingly diverse youth population in U.S libraries, classrooms, and homes. As well, the critical and intercultural approaches can help educators situate the books in their socio-political contexts in order to consider how the books may meet the social needs of youth. Finally, the title will provide ideas and examples of successful library and literacy programs that incorporate diverse children’s literature to meet the informational and recreational needs of all children and young adults.
We seek current and timely chapters on the following topics (each bullet represents a separate chapter):

• Literature review of studies from various disciplines related to the topics of cultural diversity, cultural pluralism, cultural literacy, diversity, etc. as presented in children’s and young adult literature
• Understanding the politics and key concerns in selecting, analyzing, and using diverse literature for children and young adults
• Creating a working conceptualization of diversity that can be used with children and young adults to foster intercultural understanding and prepare young minds for interacting in the culturally pluralistic society of the U.S.
• Critical Perspectives in Contemporary Children’s and Young Adult Literature Representing African American People and Cultures
• Critical Perspectives in Contemporary Children’s and Young Adult Literature Representing Latino People and Cultures
• Critical Perspectives in Contemporary Children’s and Young Adult Literature Representing Asian American People and Cultures
• Critical Perspectives in Contemporary Children’s and Young Adult Literature Representing Indigenous People and Cultures
• Critical Perspectives in Contemporary Children’s and Young Adult Literature Representing Multiracial or Transnational Youth
• Critical Perspectives in Contemporary Children’s and Young Adult Literature Describing Characters with Cognitive Dis/Abilities
• Critical Perspectives in Contemporary Children’s and Young Adult Literature Describing Characters with Physical Dis/Abilities
• Critical Perspectives in Contemporary Children’s and Young Adult Literature Representing Religious Affiliations
• Critical Perspectives in Contemporary Young Adult Literature Depicting Incarcerated Youth
• Critical Perspectives in Contemporary Children’s and Young Adult Literature Depicting Homelessness
• Critical Perspectives in Contemporary Children’s and Young Adult Literature Describing Transnational Adoptions
• Critical Perspectives in Contemporary Children’s Books Depicting Gender Variance and Queer Families and Characters

Other Guidelines: Each chapter must be under 4,000 words, inclusive of all bibliographies and notes. The author(s) should include information about selecting books representing the cultural group, descriptions of “good” and “bad” books, and programming ideas/ strategies that have been tested with children and young adults in classroom and library settings. Chapters should be formatted according the Chicago Manual of Style.

Deadlines: If you are interested in contributing to this edited work, please send a proposal (approximately 500 words) by November 1, 2010, which outlines how you would address the topics in one of the aforementioned chapters. Proposals should include your name, affiliation, email, and phone number along with a current 2-page CV highlighting relevant publications related to your chapter. We will notify selected authors of our decisions by November 15, 2010. Completed chapters are due by May 30, 2011.

Please send proposals to slidingdoors9@gmail.com with “Chapter Proposal” in the subject heading.

OFFICE OF STUDENT AID SITE LISTING

Hey all,
If you're from the same middle-class background as I am, the first thing you look for in the website of a foreign university is whether scholarships are available, and if available what of a range can you expect. All too often you will see literally scores of scholarships listed and just when you had started feeling a little optimistic, you'll notice that almost all of those scholarships require you to be a citizen or, at least, permanent resident of the country. Now that doesn't mean that scholarships for international students are not available. There are, in fact, quite a number of scholarships available for international students and all most all universities have an OFFICE OF STUDENT AID exclusively for international students. Smaller universities that might not have a separate office for international students will operate out of a exclusive section in the Office of Student Aid (Also known as Office of Financial Aid). So, then, this would be the first place to look at in a university website and often what you see in there can be the primary and the sole criteria of applying (or not applying, if you will) to the university.

So I thought it might be helpful to post a Site Listing of the Office of the Student Aid/Financial Aid of several prominent universities in USA HERE
