Report from BARS 2015: Romantic Imprints

Myth and Memory: Representing and Misrepresenting National Cultures and Peoples
2016-05-05 - 2016-05-06 | Department of English and American Studies, Faculty of Foreign Languages “Luigj Gurakuqi”, University of Shkodra, Albania, Albania
2nd International Conference of English and American Studies
5-6 May 2016 organized by
Department of English and American Studies,
Faculty of Foreign Languages
“Luigj Gurakuqi” University of Shkodra, Albania
The Department of English and American Studies is pleased to announce a call for papers for an international and inter-disciplinary conference to be held at the University of Shkodra in May 2016.
The end of the 20th century saw the break-up of several apparently established nation states, often following violent conflict. All this took place paradoxically in an era in which the idea of universal human rights was widely promoted in the context of a so-called globalised economy.
The virulent racism of the early 20th century returned as „ethnic cleansing‟. This process, compounded by sectarian, linguistic and cultural difference and rivalry has continued into our own century seemingly accompanied by even greater violence. The older religious and imperial orders were largely replaced during the 19th century by the appeal to a new dynamic of „nation building‟. What appeared as a progressive movement of liberation, one of the grands recits of history, had consequences that proved disastrous, not least for Europe‟s „dark twentieth century‟. The subsequent break-up of Europe‟s overseas empires, the struggles for anti-colonial independence, may be thought in many cases to have produced similar results.
Patriotic sentiment and revolutionary fervour, in both their positive and negative formations, have always been deeply entwined with cultural and educational activities and programmes. The whole fabric of civilisation is present: writing novels, history, poetry, journalism; composing music; sculpture, painting and architecture; building schools and universities; science and technology; mobilising and training armies; founding constitutions; establishing territorial and sectarian/confessional claims are all necessary and complementary features of a conflicted „modernity‟, that defers to the existence of nation states, while invoking a wider common multi-cultural humanity.
In order to explore these issues, whether in the past or the present (or even, possibly, the future) we invite papers that address aspects of national, ethnic, sectarian, linguistic and cultural identities, and their relative importance as they are manifest in the following fields:
Literary, artistic, and popular cultural (film, TV, newspapers, etc) production
Political and economic history
Legal and educational systems and practices
Social psychology
We hope to attract speakers from a wide variety of disciplines including literary, media and cultural studies; linguistics; sociology and political science; theology and philosophy; law and economics; history; education.
Abstracts no longer than 300 words in English with up to 5 key words should be sent to bbushgjokaj@gmail.com or ierkoci@unishk.edu.al by 30 December, 2015. Please make sure you include the title, the author‟s name, affiliation and email.
The conference fee of 80 euros includes the book of proceedings, conference material, conference dinner, refreshments, and certificate. The payment method, information about accommodation and other details will be available shortly on the conference website which is currently under construction.
Delegates unfamiliar with Albania may like to refer to Byron‟s „Childe Harold, Canto II, XLVI‟
Ev’n to the centre of Illyria’s vales
Childe Harold pass‟d o‟er many a mount sublime,
Through lands scarce noticed in historic tales;
Yet in famed Attica such lovely dales
Are rarely seen; nor can fair Tempe boast
A charm they know not; loved Parnassus fails,
Though classic ground and consecrated most,
To match some spots that lurk within this lowering coast.
We are looking forward to meeting you in Shkodra!

CFP: Burney and Popular Entertainments
2015-11-04
Conference of the Burney Society
St Chad’s College, Durham University, 4-6 July 2016
Burney and Popular Entertainments: the business of pleasure in Late-Georgian Britain
Proposals are invited for 20 minute papers on the subject of ‘Burney and Popular Entertainments: the business of pleasure in Late-Georgian Britain’
Frances Burney grew up at the centre of a vibrant metropolitan cultural scene, and was part of a network of musicians, writers, actors and artists whose careers depended on a culture of consumption, both imaginative and material. This was the world she evoked in her novels, plays and journals and this conference builds on the movement
in Burney scholarship toward greater contextualisation of her work. The conference centres around entertainment, with the conference programme itself featuring a range of entertainments, including an excursion to a site of local interest, and the world premiere of Burney’s play Love and Fashion, which will be performed by Durham Student Theatre. The conference’s keynote address will be given by Harriet Guest, Professor Emerita of Eighteenth-Century Literature at the University of York.
Papers should address the work of Burney and/or members of her circle, with potential topics including (but not limited to):

Burney and the Theatre
Public Spaces (such as Parks, Gardens, Assembly Rooms, the Seaside)
Private Entertainments
Commercial Entertainments
Shopping/Consumer Culture/Fashion
Tourism
The Promenade
Curiosity/Spectacle

Abstract of no more than 250 words should be sent as an email attachment in MS Word document format to Francesca Saggini (fsaggini@unitus.it) and burneysocietyuk@gmail.com . You should also include a 250 word biographical statement. Please use your surname as the document title. The abstract should be sent in the following format: (1) Title (2) Presenter(s) (3) Institutional affiliation (4) Email (5) Abstract (6) Biog.
The deadline for receipt of all proposals is January 31, 2016. We will attempt to notify all correspondents before February 28 regarding the status of their submission.
A small number of travel bursaries will be available for postgraduate students presenting at the conference. Applications are invited from research students registered on a programme of postgraduate study on the date of the conference. Please indicate at time of submission if you wish to be considered for one of these, stating your affiliation and level of study, and include a brief statement of how attendance at the conference would be of benefit to your research project.

Subversive Jane Austen: from the Critic to the Reader
2015-06-11
Subversive Jane Austen: from the Critic to the Reader
Il Centro Interuniversitario per lo Studio del Romanticismo (CISR) diretto da Lilla Maria Crisafulli che ha sede presso il Dipartimento di Lingue, Letterature e Culture Moderne dell’Università di Bologna è da tempo divenuto uno dei punti di riferimento della ricerca scientifica internazionale sulla letteratura e le arti del periodo romantico e sui gender studies.
Nell’ambito dell’articolata attività di ricerca svolta in queste aree, un ruolo importante spetta agli studi sull’opera di Jane Austen e sul dibattito critico che li ha animati. Negli anni sono stati organizzati dal Centro importanti convegni, fra i quali: Jane Austen Oggi e ieri / Now and Then (ottobre 2002) e Unmasking Jane Austen / Jane Austen senza maschere. Gli studi austeniani oggi (marzo 2009). Inoltre, il CISR ha stabilito un consolidato rapporto di collaborazione con la Chawton House Library, centro di studi internazionale situato nella dimora storica della famiglia Austen a Chawton, nello Hampshire.
Il convegno si propone di promuovere la continuità e la visibilità della tradizione di studi austeniani e di genere della scuola bolognese, e di tracciare le coordinate dei più recenti e promettenti sviluppi di un’attività di ricerca in costante aggiornamento ed espansione. Dal punto di vista dei contenuti, la giornata di studi intende concentrarsi sul tema della critica subversive e della fama popolare di un’autrice come Jane Austen che è allo stesso tempo un ‘classico’ del canone letterario di lingua inglese e un’icona della cultura di massa postmoderna.
La prima sezione del convegno, coordinata da Serena Baiesi, affronterà la subversiveness austeniana dal punto di vista dell’impatto della critica accademica insieme a studiosi di fama internazionale quali Beatrice Battaglia dell’Università di Bologna, Katie Halsey della University of Stirling; Gillian Dow, della University of Southampton e Direttrice della Chawton House Library e Bharat Tandon dalla University of East Anglia. Il secondo filone di indagine proposto dal convegno sarà quello relativo al contesto italiano e alla cultura popolare. Durante il pomeriggio si discuterà della ricezione italiana della scrittrice con studiosi di varie università: Diego Saglia ed Eleonora Capra di Parma, Marianna D’Ezio di Roma e Massimiliano Morini di Urbino. Questa sezione esplorerà anche la vastissima fortuna di cui gode l’autrice nell’ambito della cultura di massa, testimoniata da un numero sterminato di adattamenti, riscritture, imitazioni, sequels, prequels, spin-offs che ne hanno fatto un brand letterario globale capace di suscitare l’entusiasmo di fruitori diversissimi per estrazione e background culturale. Si approfondiranno le modalità e le dinamiche che caratterizzano questa inesauribile e multiforme attività di transcodificazione di cui Austen è stata ed è tutt’ora oggetto con interventi di studiosi accademici (Cristina Bragaglia), lettori, bloggers e altri Janeites in una tavola rotonda conclusiva coordinata da Carlotta Farese a cui parteciperanno anche i membri fondatori della Jane Austen Society of Italy (Silvia Ogier, Mara Barbuni e Giuseppe Ierolli) e del Club Sofa and Carpet di Jane Austen (Chiara Mercattili) .

—————————————————–
Subversive Jane Austen: from the Critic to the Reader
The Inter-University Centre for the Study of Romanticism (CISR) of the University of Bologna directed by Lilla Maria Crisafulli, has established itself as a major international teaching and research centre in the field of Romantic, women’s, and gender studies. Within the multifaceted research activity in this area a key role is played by the studies devoted to the work and critical reception of Jane Austen, on which two important conferences have been organised during the 2000s: Jane Austen, Now and Then (October 2002); Unmasking Jane Austen. Gli studi austeniani oggi (March 2009). The CISR has also established an intense collaborative relationship with the Chawton House Library, the internationally renowned research center on women’s writing Women’s Writing in English 1600 to 1830 located in the historic residence of the Austen family. Our conference intends to promote the continuity and visibility of the tradition of Austen studies at the University of Bologna and to map the most recent and promising developments of this constantly developing research area. In particular, our one-day conference will focus on subversive critical readings, and on the popular reception of an author in Italy, who is at the same time a ‘classic’ of the English literary canon and an icon of post-modern mass culture.
The first section of the conference, coordinated by Serena Baiesi, will deal with Austen’s subversiveness as outlined by recent scholarship. The theme will be discussed by internationally renowned scholars such as Beatrice Battaglia (University of Bologna); Katie Halsey (University of Stirling), Gillian Dow (University of Southampton and Director of Chawton House Library), and Bharat Tandon (University of East Anglia).
The second section of the conference will focus on the Italian context, and during the afternoon we will be discussing the contribute that critics can give to the comprehension of the novelist’s cultural role in Italy with distinguished Italian Austen scholars such as Diego Saglia and Eleonora Capra (Parma), Marianna D’Ezio (Rome), and Massimiliano Morini (Urbino). New critical approaches require a revision of translation strategies, which have been so far inspired by an essentially conservative reading of Austen and are now encouraged to engage with the twofold and ambiguous language of a novelist who unmasks the hypocrisies of Georgian society with an ironic writing that is extremely difficult to translate and has been hidden to the Italian reading public for a long time. Moreover, this section will also reflect on the large work of re-mediation of Austen’s life and novels and on the dissemination of Jane Austen’s fame in popular culture, through an endless amount of adaptations, imitations, sequels, prequels, spin-offs, turning her into a global literary brand able to appeal to readers and spectators belonging to diverse social and cultural contexts. The discussion of the manifold ways in which Austen is constantly re-mediated and re-codified will involve scholars (Cristina Bragaglia), together with readers, bloggers and other Janeites in a concluding round-table coordinated by Carlotta Farese hosting, among others, the founders of the Jane Austen Society of Italy (Silvia Ogier, Mara Barbuni and Giuseppe Ierolli) and the Jane Austen Club Sofa and Carpet (Chiara Mercattili).
