CFP: Journal on Comparative Critical Studies, Special Issue ‘Translation meets Book History: Intersections 1700-1950’

Guest Edited by Alice Colombo (University of Bristol), Niall Ó Ciosáin (NUI Galway) and Anne O’Connor (NUI Galway)

Book history and translation studies have significantly enhanced our understanding of print culture. Although driven respectively by bibliographic and comparativist linguistic interests, the two fields have converged into a shared perception of texts as cultural and social products controlled by interconnected networks of agents. Efforts to delve deeper into the nature of these networks and into the mobility of printed texts have led to fruitful cross-disciplinary intersections. As a result, translation scholars are becoming increasingly receptive to the relevance of textual materiality while book historians are turning to comparative approaches and the transnational side of publishing. On a general level, texts and their trajectories are more and more frequently analysed by integrating conceptual, methodological and theoretical frameworks originally developed in either book history or translation studies (see for example Heilbrom 2008; Bachleitner 2010; Freedman 2012; O’Sullivan 2012; Armstrong 2013; Littau 2016; Belle & Hosington 2017). The success of this interdisciplinary approach is leading to a growing awareness that further dialogue between studies and book history is needed to achieve more accurate representations of the transnational life of print culture. This special issue aims at exploring and further promoting intersections between the two fields with a particular focus on the multifaceted international publishing panorama that characterised the period between 1700 and 1950. Contributions are especially encouraged on thematic areas including:

- The materiality of translation

- Translations’ paratext and translation of paratext

- Translation and the transnationalisation of print culture

- Translation and the sociology of texts

- Translation and textual bibliography

- Agents involved in the production and distribution of translations and their relation on a national and international level

- Translation of popular literature and ephemera 

- Translation and book illustration

- Translation, religion and book history 

- Translation and musical texts 

- Terminology of the book across languages

- Translation and the transformation of reading habits and attitudes

- Research methodologies in translation studies and book history

Call For Essays: The Green Critique: A Collection of Critical Essays on (Edited Volume on Ecocriticism)

Concept Note

Ecocriticism began as a result of the environmental revolution that had begun around the 1960s after the publication of Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring. It focuses on the importance of the relationship between human beings and nature, how human beings are both effecting and affecting nature and vice versa. With time, it started to lay significant impact over various other disciplines as well and emerged as an umbrella term in critical, cultural and academic discourse. As an ‘earth-centered approach’, it intersected environment and culture and calling for collaboration between natural scientists, writers, literary critics, anthropologists, historians, academicians and more.

In a broader perspective, ‘Ecocriticism’ guides us to examine the world around us and critiquing the approach of society in the treatment of nature. The theory helps in analyzing any literary or non-literary text with an eye on nature portrayed by the author and the ecocritical trope within it. This is a tool to address thought-provoking questions like how is nature represented in this text? How is the setting of the text related to the environment? How are metaphors and images used to represent nature? How do we see issues of environmental disaster and crises reflected in popular culture and literary works? How do the roles or representations of men and women towards the environment differ in plays/films/texts (literary or non-literary) down the ages? What kind of politics is involved in ‘humanistic representation of nature’? Where is the environment placed in ‘power hierarchy’? How is nature empowered or oppressed in ‘humanistic representations’? What parallels can be drawn between sufferings and oppression of groups of people (women, minorities, immigrants, etc.) and the treatment of land? With an honest attempt to answer these questions, we can address insightful issues related to ‘Ecocriticism’, ‘Ecofeminism’, ‘Ecopoetics’, ‘Ecological Imperialism’ and the like of it.

Ecologists have tried to motivate people to be sympathetic and respectful of ‘mother- nature’. This theory has motivated writers to initiate people against the time when the consequences of human actions would be damaging the planet’s basic life support system. This awareness brings in us a desire to contribute, in our own way, to environmental restoration, not only as a hobby but as a representative of literature. Ecocritics encourage others to think seriously about the aesthetic and ethical dilemmas posed by the environmental crisis and about how language and literature transmit values with profound ecological implications.

To meet convenience for the contributors, some issues/sub-issues have been listed below. These are only suggestive and contributors are free to choose their areas of interest within this wider framework. The sub-themes are as follows:-

• Ecological Imperialism
• Women and nature: similarity and differences
• Environmental challenges and responses

Call for Research Papers-ISBN Book-Diaspora as Cathartic Metaphor: A Hermeneutical Approach

This is to bring to your scholarly attention that I am bringing out a book on Diaspora as Cathartic Metaphor: A Hermeneutical Approach. I cordially invite you to contribute to this book and help this work get published with your sharp critical acumen. To understand the nature of the work, you are requested to go through the synopsis given below. Without your valuable scholarship this project may remain a mere dream. If you feel interested in this venture, as I hope you are, please respond to this modest proposal as soon as possible. I positively look forward to hearing from you.

Synopsis

The book aims to explore, through diasporic texts, the multiple layers of cathartic experiences of refuge and migration. Migration invites a great hermeneutics, which creates and formulates shocking and surprising experiences in literature. Human mobility and migration are not a recent phenomenon. They are one of the survival strategies adopted since the dawn of human civilization throughout the history. Migration is the most important and natural phenomena leading to human progress and development. The term ‘Diaspora’ has appeared as on e of the key tropes in the modern Humanities today. It is the poetics of the displaced people across the globe. Diaspora, according to Judith Shuval, is a “social construct founded on feeling, consciousness, memory, mythology, history, meaningful narratives, group identity, longings, dreams, allegorical and virtual elements all of which play an important role in establishing a diaspora reality. At a given moment in time, the sense of connection to a homeland must be strong enough to resist forgetting, assimilating or distancing.” (Shuval 2000: 43)The process through which diasporic text comes into existence, is analogous with that of metaphor in two different ways i. e. its ‘sense’ and ‘reference’. Diaspora similarly has a referential sense of a cultural and sensical reference of the other, inside and outside both. In its making it appears to be cathartic, metaphoric and existential. One may, therefore, ask “whether the diasporic text is a cathartic metaphor of cultural and traumatic displacement of an ‘ethnic consciousness,’ ‘active associative life,’ ‘contacts with the land of origin in various forms,’ ‘real or imaginary’?”

The nature of diasporic discourse is metaphoric in nature as there is a ‘Self’ and the ‘Other’ within. The resemblance view of metaphor brings the distant near and similar in dissimilar. According to P. Raghuram and A. K. Sahoo, ‘diaspora is defined not by biographical connectivity across geographical areas or political boundaries, but is created by and through differentiation.’ He further adds that ‘[it] is the contradictory emotions, the ambivalences in the diasporic notions of belonging, their identification with and against territorial social and cultural formations.’ Diasporic text appears to be an example of composed cross-cultural, intra-cultural and inter- cultural communication. It is cathartic in the process of its production and reception in reverse. The polyphonic nature of diasporic text is always fixed in writing. Diasporic discourse has the plurality of modes and similar is the case with metaphor; diasporic text comes into existence from the encounter between sense and reference as metaphor with muthos and mimesis. It’s a fact that ‘[the] concept of ‘diaspora’ and its geographical and territorial dimensions have all been subject to various interpretations.’ (Braziel and Mannur 2003). 

The concept of culture, trauma and Diaspora are now related to a ‘vast field of meaning that includes Global / Glocal processes of de-territorialization, transnational migration and cultural Hybridity.’ The book aims to throw light on the process of diasporic text through which it looks similar to the same process or consequences of the making of metaphor. The book would be an endeavor to focus on the cathartic dimensions of Diaspora as metaphor, as a new language and a new literature of home land and host land, as the symbol of continuity and change in Diasporic Community. The book may also cover the following sub themes:

Sub-themes

• Literary Text as Cathartic Metaphor / Representations of Diasporic Identities

• Transnationalism and Globalization / Diaspora and Policy Challenges

Call For Papers: Special issue of Women's Writing Journal on Women Writing Men-Guest edited by Ruth Heholt and Joanne Ella Parsons

Call For Papers:

As men have written women, so women have always written men but to date there has been much less scholarly attention paid to women’s textual construction of men. This is clearly a notable absence given the recent rise in scholarly interest in the field of 18th and 19th century masculinities. Debate about how men have represented women in literature has a long and distinguished history but in relation to the textual construction of masculinity the emphasis has tended to centre round the representations themselves rather than specifically interrogating who is constructing these gendered representations and from what perspective. This special issue seeks to explore how women writers create and question masculinity in the 18th and 19th centuries examining how they engage with questions of manliness and deviance. Women writers were in a unique position to be able to deconstruct and examine cultural norms from a position away from the centre; able perhaps to ‘look aslant’ at masculinity. This special issue will focus on women’s representations of men and masculinity as they negotiate issues of class, gender, race, and sexuality.

For this special issue of Women’s Writing we are seeking submissions that consider women writers’ depictions of men. The issue intends to explore the range of masculine constructions depicted by women writers in 18th and 19th century fiction, poetry and drama. In doing so, the editors seek to navigate the diversity of representations of men, manliness, and masculinities by women within this period in order to illuminate further this little examined field.

Topics may include, but are not limited to, women’s writing and:

• 
  
• Masculinity in Sensation/realist/crime/Gothic fiction
• The male criminal
• Representations of the male body
• The father figure and the patriarchal head of the family
• Marriage
• The construction of the male mind and psyche
• The representation of the cad/the military man/ the hero/ the business man/the male writer
• Representations of deviant or manly male behaviour
• Love and romance
• Queer masculinities
• Depictions of race
• Work
• Fashion and dress
• The aberrant or ideal male form 
• Male relationships with women/other men/servants/ colleagues/children/animals/paternal  relationships
• The boundaries of manliness
• The representation of the male journey from child to Man
• Male sexuality
• Class

We also welcome suggestions for reviews and reviewers for this special issue of the journal.

Please submit 500 word abstracts and a brief biography for consideration to Joanne Ella Parsons (Bath Spa University) j.parsons1@bathspa.ac.ukand Ruth Heholt (Falmouth University) ruth.heholt@falmouth.ac.uk by 1st May 2018. Completed articles are expected to be between 5000-7000 words and will be due 1st September 2018.

Contributors should follow the journal’s house style details of which are to be found on the Women’s Writing web site http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/titles/0999082.asp. This is the new MLA. Do note that instead of footnotes, we use endnotes with NO bibliography. All bibliographical information is included in the endnotes i.e. place of publication, publisher and date of publication in brackets on first citation of a book.

Call For Articles - Book on Pushkin -Russian Literature

 CALL FOR ARTICLES: 

A S Pushkin is considered to be "the beginning of all beginnings" as far as Russian literature is concerned. He is the greatest icon of Russian literature, like Tagore is for Indian and Shakespeare for English literatures. But the importance and stature of a world-class writer are also measured by his/her acceptance/reception across languages, cultures and geographical boundaries. 

On the occasion of Tagore's 150th birth anniversary a huge volume of work has been published a few years back, that discussed his reception all over the world. A similar volume on Shakespeare too came out recently from Santiniketan, that discussed his reception in India. Taking cue from these works, we are planning to bring out one edited volume on Pushkin's reception in Indian subcontinent. The proposed volume will be edited by me, but overall guidance comes from Prof. J P Dimri, one of the stalwarts of Russian Studies in India.

 We are inviting articles on Pushkin's reception in different languages of Indian subcontinent; namely Hindi, Urdu, Bangla, Marathi, Telugu, Malayalam and all other prominent ones where Pushkin made an impact. We expect the authors to discuss 

1. History of Pushkin's reception in the particular language 
2. Pushkin in the polysystem of that language (translations of his works) 
3. Effect/impact/influence of Pushkin on the writers of that language (if any) 
4. Effect/impact/influence of Pushkin on the literary trends/ideologies of that language 
5. Present condition of Pushkin Studies in that language and other related issues. 

The language of discourse will be English for wide access to prospective readers worldwide and the volume will have an ISBN no.

Interested scholars may inbox me or contact me at sajaldey@eflushc.ac.in.

Call for Publication: Breaking New Grounds: Perspectives on Recent Indian English Fiction (Collection of Essays)

Call For Papers:

Indian English writing, from its infancy, has been preoccupied with representing the nation. This national dimension of Indian English writing is undoubtedly its most distinctive feature. Indian English novels as a postcolonial genre emerged out of the colonial encounter, and it is only natural that “its concern has been with that equally postcolonial entity, the nation-state” (Priyamvada Gopal, 2009). India as a postcolonial nation is a classic case of the history-nation confluence. Writers have been much beholden to this confluence as both history and nation come together to shape what political scientist, Sunil Khilnani terms, after Nehru, “the idea of India” (Khilnani, 1983). This national dimension of Indian English writing is undoubtedly its most distinctive feature. The 1980s witnessed a boom in these nation-centric narratives or “nationsroman” (Joshi, 2004). Largely revisionist in nature, the novels of the Rushdie-generation regarded the task of representing India and Indian history as a huge project.

But in more recent novels that have emerged after the fading of pan-Indian nation-centric trope in the texts of the Rushdie generation, the engagement with the nation and pan-national history has become much more diffused. This diffusion in the engagement with the pan-Indian dimension in the more recent works of Indian English fiction has taken diverse lines of development. On the one hand, a large number of novels have emerged that have sought to focus on the micro stories of regions and people which did not find a place in the earlier epic narratives of the nation. Unlike mainstream Indian English writings, these novels are written with settings in small towns of India, and they deal with the issues and problems most urgent and real to these regions and people. They show a keen sense of place or rootedness. The nation remains an integral concern of the writers. The younger and recent writers, though not rejecting the national altogether, seem to be moving away from pan-Indian nation-centric engagement to a more localized engagement with history, politics and Indian society. This concern with local allegiance and people seems to be increasingly the dominant tendency of recent Indian English novels.

Another significant development to this diffused approach towards history and nation is the growing urge of Indian English writers to tackle the issues of globalization and ramifications of economic liberalization. Indian English writing is now strongly embedded in the global frame, and it is now engaged in asking questions like “what shape does ‘India’ take fifty or more years after the independent nation-state officially came into existence on the world stage? How are older narratives of nation being rewritten or replaced by new ones that seek to break, remould or interrogate the former in the face of migration and globalization? Who owns ‘the past’ and what is the writer’s responsibility in relation to it?” (Gopal 2009). Apart from these broad trends, we can discern other new tendencies and thematic and ideological concerns in the new generation of writers. This new body of Indian English fiction in the new millennium have started dealing with such diverse issues as small-town life (The Bus Stopped and The Thing about Thugs by Tabish Khair, The Romantics by Pankaj Misra), gender transgressions ( Ratika Kapur’s The Private Life of Mrs Sharma), patriarchy and female desire (Anuja Chauhan’s Battle for Bittora), small histories (Alka Saraogi’s Kalikatha: Via Bypass, Aminuddin Khan’s A Shift in the Wind) fantasy (Meluha series by Amish Tripathi), Dalit life (Manu Joseph’s Serious Man), global terrorism, 9/11 and Indian Diaspora (Transmission by Hari Kunzru, Ask Me No Questions by Marina Budhos, The Disappearance of Seth by Kazim Ali), friction between old and new cultures (Saraswati Park by Anjali Joseph), drugs and underbelly of big cities (Narcopolis by Jeet Thayil and Eunuch Park by Palash Krishna Mehrotra), ethnicity, ethnic relations, insurgency and issues of identity, belonging and history of migration (e.g. fiction from the northeastern part of India by writers such as Siddhartha Deb, Daisy Hassan, Anjum Hassan, Janice Pariat, Dhruba Hazarika etc.), insurgency and political conflicts (Munnu: A Boy from Kashmir, graphic novel by Malik Sajad), child abuse and violence (Hush by Prateek Thomas, another graphic novel) among others. 

The editors of this proposed book are seeking contributions that shed fresh light on these new developments in Indian English fiction in the new millennium. The book envisages critical engagements with writers and texts that veer away from the usual focus on the writings of the Rushdie generation. Some of the writers and works mentioned above have received little critical attention. The proposed book, therefore, seeks to collect critically rigorous essays adopting different theoretical and thematic angles which will not only boost interests in these writers but also instil a new vigour and dimension to the study of Indian English fiction. Apart from the mentioned writers and texts, proposals are welcome from other writers who have started writing in the new millennium.

Abstracts of (maximum 400 words) and short biographical notes should be sent to the co-editors
