SUMMARY:Event: The Short Story in the Transnational Press (XIX-XXI Centuries)\, Bilingual Study Day
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:Conference: The 18th International Conference on the Short Story in English  
DESCRIPTION:A Resounding Bell: The Call of the Short Story \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe ICSSE is a five-day conference comprising pre-conference workshops\, plenaries\, author readings\, public reading sessions\, panels\, and paper presentations\, as well as social events such as a pre-conference reception\, a closing banquet and\, sightseeing activities. \nThe conference will focus on the craft of writing both short stories and creative non-fiction in its various forms and designs as well as its accompanying criticism and scholarship. Special panels include teaching creative writing in schools and tertiary institutions\, children’s literature\, young adult fiction\, and translated works into English from Chinese\, Tamil\, Portuguese\, Korean\, Spanish\, and many other languages. All readings and papers will be given in English. \n\n\nLike a resounding bell\, the short story calls us together for the 18th International Conference on the Short Story in English. \nThe ringing of a bell—like the writing and reading of a short story—calls us into wonder\, sometimes into disturbance\, and always deepens our understanding of the human condition. The short story\, as Frank O’Connor states\, lifts up the perspectives and voices of “submerged populations” and those who have otherwise been silenced. The ICSSE celebrates the lonely voice from across the globe by creating a space for short story writers and scholars to share their passion for the genre. \nWe gather to honor the short story\, its history\, its many forms\, its continuing evolution in the contemporary moment. We present this theme not as a creative restraint for the conference but rather so that writers of fiction in English and writers whose work has been translated into English\, might ring the bell of the short story\, loudly and clearly.
