Calls for Papers
The AAALS calls for papers for its
28th Annual conference to be held in conjunction with ANSZANA in
Toronto, Ontario, Canada, from February 16 to 18, 2012. As
always, the conference will be collegial and open-minded, welcoming
papers from many different approaches and contexts. Connections
involving any combination of Canada, New Zealand, Australia, and the
US will be welcomed. We also are especially interested in papers on
Indigenous Australian literature and Maori literature. Welcome as
well will be papers dealing with Patrick White, whose centennial is
in 2012 and who is in the midst of an exciting reconsideration. As
always, submissions on any other aspect of Australian, New Zealand,
or South Pacific literature, culture, or film is welcomed: local,
regional, national, international, transnational, as well as
comparative papers on Australian literature with respect to other
traditions. Please send 200 word abstracts to Nicholas Birns at
birnsn@newschool.edu by
December 1, 2011.
Call for Papers: Australian Writing of the 1960s
Papers are sought for an anticipated special issue of Antipodes devoted to Australian writing from 1960 to 1973. The collection will focus on the tension between continuity and change during that period. Some possible topics include: reception of Alan Seymour’s play The One Day of the Year; the emergence of published Indigenous writing, such as Oodgeroo Noonuccal’s We Are Going; the early work of Mudrooroo; novels leading up to Patrick White’s 1973 Nobel Prize, including Riders in the Chariot, The Solid Mandala and The Vivisector; Xavier Hebert; Hal Porter; Miles Franklin Prize-winners of the 1960s such as Elizabeth O’Connor, Randolph Stow, Thea Astley, George Turner, Sumner Locke Elliott, Peter Mathers, George Johnston and Dal Stivens; the poetry of Rosemary Dobson, David Campbell, Judith Wright, Gwen Harwood, James McAuley, A. D. Hope, Peter Porter and others; early Thomas Keneally works; migrant writers such as Dimitris Tsaloumas and Manfred Jurgensen; Barry Humphries; children’s writing from Ruth Park and Colin Thiele; the impact and influence of Williamson’s Don’s Party; Michael Dransfield; and the early work of Wilding and Moorhouse. Memoirs of the 1960s, such as Richard Neville’s Hippie Hippie Shake and Sally Morgan’s My Place are also appropriate topics for discussion. The growth of Australian literature as an academic discipline during the 1960s may also be explored, as well as the rise of literary periodicals such as Quadrant and Australian Literary Studies. All Antipodes articles are refereed by multiple readers and the final submission of the article should be in MLA style. Please submit abstracts to Mark Klemens at mklemens2@gmail.com by April 15.
The
Journal of the European Association for Studies on Australia
Call
for Submissions
The Journal of the
European Association for Studies on Australia invites
submissions for its second issue. Submissions may be in any area of
Australian Studies. Given the broad remit of such an area, the
journal is especially open to submissions that cross disciplinary or
discursive boundaries. At the same time, the most minutely-focused
articles may also be submitted. In addition, articles that have a
European connection are especially welcome.
Submissions should be sent
to the editor electronically at
callahan@ua.pt. Initial submissions of 5,000-8,500 word articles
may be in any recognisable academic format, but articles accepted
for publication will need to be formatted by authors according to
the conventions outlined on the journal’s website. You should
send the article as one document with no indication of name or
anything which might identify you as author. In a separate document
you should submit your name, institutional affiliation if
appropriate, email address and a brief personal biography to be used
if the article is accepted.
The Journal of the
European Association for Studies on Australia is a
peer-reviewed, MLA-indexed, open-access online journal, whose first
issue appeared in 2009. The journal’s website may be found at
