Appel à contribution : La classe de Monsieur François. Journée d’étude et de création sur l’œuvre de François Blais

Date limite : 20 septembre 2022.

François Blais n’est plus. Il a fait don de sa finesse d’esprit et d’un humour mordant
à travers des personnages qui ont coloré le paysage littéraire québécois pendant 15
ans. Son œuvre est dense, diversifiée mais cohérente ; elle compte 12 romans et
recueils de nouvelles d’Iphigénie en HauteVille (2006) à La seule chose qui
intéresse tout le monde (2021) , 4 livres pour la jeunesse dont Lac Adélard
(2019), lauréat du Prix du Gouverneur général et du Prix jeunesse des libraires du
Québec , des fictions brèves offertes à des revues et collectifs, des chroniques
perspicaces dans le magazine Protégezvous. Elle est enfin marquée par la grande
discrétion médiatique de François Blais, un quasisilence à laisser songeurs les
sociologues de la littérature. Cette présence timide participe peutêtre, en partie, de
ce sentiment généralisé qu’éprouvent les lectrices et lecteurs de Blais : celui d’une
forme particulière d’amitié de lecture, une sorte de communauté tressée au fil de ses
narrations, de la Tess de Document 1 à la Sam du roman éponyme, aux destins épars
des élèves de La classe de Madame Valérie.

Le 17 mars 2023 sera dédié à l’élégance et à la pertinence de l’œuvre de François
Blais. Nous ferons « classe » autour de Monsieur François avec la lumière que son
écriture nous a apportée. Nous vous invitons donc à soumettre des intentions de
lectures, analyses, créations, discussions sur l’œuvre de François Blais à l’occasion
d’une journée d’étude et de création qui aura lieu à TroisRivières, capitale de sa
Mauricie natale. Vos soumissions d’au plus une page devront parvenir à David
Bélanger (
david.belanger2@uqtr.ca) et à Cassie Bérard (berard.cassie@uqam.ca) au
plus tard le 20 septembre 2022.

CFP Punk Scholars Network Canada and Punk Scholars Network USA 2022 Virtual Conference

Friday, November 18, 2022 via Zoom (Times TBA)

Deadline: October 1, 2022

Our annual conference of the Punk Scholars Network Canada and United States will be held on November 18, 2022 via Zoom. The theme this year is Punk & Resilience, and we welcome proposals from punk scholars both in North America and internationally.

Punk has always had an association with crisis, whether as a progressive response to social or economic problems or a dark, satirical expression of existential angst. For our annual event, the Punk Scholars Network will explore the theme of resilience in relation to punk history, punk cultures, punk scenes and punk identities. Resilience can be understood in terms of strength, resistance, endurance, adaptability, flexibility, and unshockability. In recent years, many communities have been impacted by the coronavirus pandemic, which was quickly followed by widespread economic decline, social and political conflicts, as well as a cost-of-living crisis. With this theme serving as a starting point, members of the Punk Scholars Network in Canada and the United States aim to critically engage in a global conversation about what resilience means today and how it functions in a post-pandemic punk practice.

New Publication: European Perspectives on Inclusive Education in Canada. Critical Comparative Insights (Routledge 2022)

Edited by Theodore Michael Christou, Robert Kruschel, Ian Alexander Matheson, Kerstin Merz-Atalik

Featuring leading voices in the field from across Canada and Europe, this edited collection offers empirical analyses of the historical, social, cultural, and legislative determinants of inclusive education in Canadian schools.

Covering four thematic areas including the structure, culture, and practices of inclusive education, the volume offers comparative insights from a European perspective, engaging critically with widely held views of Canada as a world leader in inclusive education. Providing rich comparisons with educational systems in Germany, Spain, and Finland, chapters explore in-depth the assessment structures and curricula specific to Canada, as well as educational policy, and explore attitudes and practices in relation to diverse student populations, including refugee and indigenous peoples, and students with special educational needs.

This volume will benefit researchers, academics, and educators with an interest in multicultural education, international and comparative education, as well as educational policy more specifically. Those involved with inclusion and special educational needs will also benefit from this volume.

CFP: Remembering: Transnational Memory Cultures and American Studies

32nd Annual Conference of the Postgraduate Forum (PGF) of the German Association for American Studies (GAAS/DGfA)

University of Regensburg, Regensburg/Germany, November 10-12, 2022 (hybrid)

Deadline: September 18, 2022

https://www.uni-regensburg.de/language-literature-culture/american-studies/research/conferences/pgf-2022/index.html

Since its inception in 1989, the PGF has been a platform for early career researchers in the broader field of American studies, offering them the opportunity to present and discuss their on-going projects and to engage in critical conversations with scholars working in similar as well as different disciplines. The organizers of the 2022 Postgraduate Forum are pleased to announce the call for papers for the 32nd annual conference to be hosted at the University of Regensburg from November 10-12, 2022.

Conference Theme and Format

In light of current academic debates and wider public discourses on cultures of memory and its uses, we want to reflect on how early career researchers can benefit from approaching American studies through the multidirectional lens of memory studies. More specifically, we seek to engage in discussions of how acts, ethics, practices, and rituals of remembrance should be cultivated in 2022, a year which has shown how distorted versions of history and memory are not only reduced to abstract self-fulfilling narratives but also turned into justifications for actual warfare in the most extreme case. With that in mind, we ask the questions: What roles do academic research and education play in cultures of memory and remembering? What are the transnational dimensions of cultural memory? What are our responsibilities as emerging scholars, as teachers, as human beings in shaping cultures of memory? What are the possible pasts, presents, and futures of memory studies as American studies?

Alongside submissions dedicated to transnational memory cultures, we also invite and encourage contributions from the broader field of American studies.

In addition to thematic panels, a keynote lecture, and the annual PGF meeting, we are also planning an excursion to the Flossenbuerg Concentration Camp Memorial and Museum to get insights into their work, as well as workshops on mental health and academic accountability and responsibility.

Application

We invite early career researchers of all disciplines of American studies to submit an abstract of 250-300 words for a 15-minutes presentation and a short narrative biography of ca.150 words in a single PDF file. Please send all proposals to pgf@dgfa.de by September 18, 2022.

Selected contributions will be published in a special issue of the peer-reviewed online journal Current Objectives of Postgraduate American Studies (COPAS).

Accessibility

As organizers of the 2022 Postgraduate Forum, we are committed to ensuring all events and contents are accessible to all. Please feel free to communicate with us about your accommodation needs when sending in your proposals, or as it arises. Do not hesitate to approach us at any time if you have any concerns.

We plan to host the 2022 Postgraduate Forum as a hybrid event.

For further information, please visit our conference website at: https://www.uni-regensburg.de/language-literature-culture/american-studies/research/conferences/pgf-2022/index.html. Please check back regularly as the website will be updated progressively as we move closer to the conference date.

We are looking forward to seeing you in Regensburg this fall!
