SUMMARY:Call for Papers: The Short Story in the Transnational Press (XIX-XXI Centuries)
DESCRIPTION:The Journal of the Short Story in English (JSSE) and the Transfopress Research Network are hosting a bilingual study day / journée d’étude in Paris\, France (venue to be announced) on Friday\, 2 April 2027\, focusing on “The Short Story in the Transnational Press (XIX-XXI Centuries).” For over forty years the JSSE has been publishing research on the short story; and for over a decade\, the Transfopress Research Network has been studying the emergence and expansion of transnational newspapers\, magazines\, and other media communicated in languages other than the official languages of the countries where they are produced. The recent publication of The Transnational British Press in Non-Anglophone Countries\, 1800–1914 [google.com] (University of Edinburgh Press\, edited by Diana Cooper-Richet\, Isabelle Richet\, Jennifer Hayward\, and Michelle Prain-Brice ) has uncovered the rich history of the transnational English-language press over the long nineteenth century. It is therefore an opportune time to take a closer look at the role of the short story within this press as well as expanding the geographical and historical scope of study. We plan to have a half day focusing on the short story in the transnational press in English and a half day focusing on the transnational press in other languages\, from the nineteenth to the twenty-first centuries. The following are some suggestions for questions that might be explored: \n\nWhich short-fiction writers are being published in this press?\nWhich genres of short stories are being published in this press?\nAre the stories original publications\, reprints\, piracies\, translations\, or the first seeds of later stories or larger works?\nAre there overlooked or forgotten stories to be uncovered in this press?\nWhat role is there for the amateur author and the short story competition in this press?\nHow might these stories be serving the communities these publications support?\n\nPapers can be delivered in English or in French. Please submit a 250-word abstract of your paper and short 50-word biography by 16 November 2026 to colette.colligan@univ-angers.fr\, gerald.preher@univ-artois.fr\, and diana.cooper-richet@uvsq.fr. We will respond within a couple of weeks to announce which papers have been selected for the study day. This event is organised in partnership with the ‘Nouvelles et formes brèves’ research group\, which is part of the Centre interdisciplinaire de recherche sur les patrimoines en langues et en littératures (CIRPaLL) at the University of Angers.

SUMMARY:Call for Chapter Proposals: The Oxford Handbook of Carson McCullers 
DESCRIPTION:Call for Chapter Proposals — The Oxford Handbook of Carson McCullers \nEditor: Carlos Dews\, John Cabot University\, Rome\nDeadline for proposals: 15 January 2027\nContact: cdews@johncabot.edu \nA more detailed version of this Call for Chapter Proposals can be found via THIS LINK. Please consult it before submitting a chapter proposal. \nCarson McCullers remains one of the most distinctive and influential American writers of the twentieth century. Her fiction\, drama\, essays\, journalism\, poetry\, letters\, and other writings continue to generate important scholarship in American literature\, Southern studies\, modernism\, queer studies\, disability studies\, childhood and adolescence studies\, race and regional studies\, affect theory\, life writing\, music and sound studies\, adaptation\, and archival research. Recent biographies\, archival discoveries\, documentary and musical projects\, and the publication of previously unavailable materials have opened new possibilities for understanding McCullers’s life\, work\, and cultural legacy. \nProposals are invited for contributions to The Oxford Handbook of Carson McCullers\, which will bring together established and emerging scholars to provide the first comprehensive handbook devoted to McCullers. The volume seeks both authoritative overviews of established areas of McCullers scholarship and innovative essays that introduce new questions\, methodologies\, archives\, comparisons\, and interdisciplinary approaches. \nThe Handbook will be organized into six sections: \n\n Life\, Archives\, and Historical Worlds\nII. The Works: Textual Histories\, Genres\, and Career Contexts\nIII. Bodies\, Genders\, Sexualities\nIV. Race\, Region\, Citizenship\, and Social Difference\nV. Form\, Feeling\, and Intellectual Genealogies\nVI. Reception\, Influence\, Adaptation\, and Global McCullers\n\nPossible topics include\, but are not limited to: \nMcCullers’s biography\, letters\, recordings\, archives\, and literary networks \nThe Heart Is a Lonely Hunter\, Reflections in a Golden Eye\, The Member of the Wedding\, The Ballad of the Sad Café\, and Clock Without Hands \nShort fiction\, drama\, essays\, journalism\, poetry\, and unfinished writing \nQueer desire\, gender nonconformity\, adolescence\, marriage\, masculinity\, and nonnormative kinship \nDisability\, illness\, embodiment\, bodily difference\, and freak aesthetics \nRace\, segregation\, whiteness\, Blackness\, ethnicity\, region\, citizenship\, class\, and labor \nLoneliness\, love\, communion\, affect\, empathy\, and belonging \nVoice\, silence\, listening\, music\, and sound \nModernism\, Gothic form\, narrative form\, and formal experimentation \nPsychoanalysis\, religion\, ethics\, philosophy\, and literary influence \nBiography\, reception history\, and McCullers’s twenty-first-century rediscovery \nStage\, film\, opera\, music\, and other adaptations \nTranslation\, comparative approaches\, and global reception \nTeaching\, archives\, public humanities\, literary houses\, museums\, and literary tourism \nWe particularly welcome proposals that extend McCullers studies into new methodological and disciplinary areas\, including critical race studies\, transgender studies\, performance and media studies\, international and comparative approaches\, and work by scholars outside the United States. The Handbook seeks a productive balance between established scholars and newer voices and welcomes proposals from scholars whose primary expertise lies in fields adjacent to McCullers studies. \nPlease submit a 300-500 word chapter proposal\, together with a brief biographical statement or CV\, by 15 January 2027 to cdews@johncabot.edu. Proposals should identify the proposed chapter’s central argument\, primary texts or materials\, methodology\, and contribution to the Handbook. \nCompleted chapters will be approximately 6000-9000 words and will be due 15 February 2028.
