S. Eliot Society St. Louis, September 26-28, 2008 The Eliot Society's annual seminar will be led by David Ayers (Univ. of Kent) and Michael Coyle (Colgate Univ.), founding president of the MSA. The idea of internationalism points to the process of overcoming national boundaries, whether geographic, psychological, cultural or simply linguistic. Eliot sensed that international connections, like national traditions, can be achieved only by great labor. Nations are not transparent to each other. We invite papers that consider how thinking of Eliot in an international context opens up his work in new ways. The topic is deliberately open, as we hope that papers will takes us in unanticipated directions, but areas that would seem to be immediately pertinent might include Eliot's response to European politics in the interwar years, Eliot in translation, the nature of Eliot's participation in American journals after establishing himself in Britain, intertexuality and interculturality. We mean for this list to be suggestive rather than prescriptive. The seminar is open to the first 15 registrants; registration will close July 1st. Participants will submit 4-5 page position papers by e-mail, no later than September 1st. To sign up, or for answers to questions, please email Jayme Stayer (jayme.stayer@gmail.com). For further information, please see the Society's website (http://www.luc.edu/eliot). *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* CALL FOR PAPERS The 29th Annual Meeting of the T. S. Eliot Society September 26-28, 2008 The Society invites proposals for papers to be presented at the annual meeting in St. Louis. Clearly organized proposals of about 500 words, on any topic reasonably related to Eliot, along with biographical sketches, should be forwarded by June 15, 2008, to the President, William Harmon, 2330 Bedford St., Apt. 18, Durham, NC, 27707; or preferably by email to wharmon03@mindspring.com.

From creid at ycp.edu Thu May 22 07:45:54 2008 From: creid at ycp.edu (Colbey Emmerson Reid) Date: Thu May 22 14:53:38 2008 Subject: [Msa-members] CFP: H.D. and the Archaeology of Religion Message-ID: <20080522074554.CCQ91086@hawk.ycp.edu> The Journal of Cultural and Religious Theory is seeking 20-30 page articles for a Special Issue on H.D. and religion in the context of material culture. We're looking for papers that illustrate H.D.'s role in shaping modernist religious thinking. Topics might include, but are not limited to, H.D.'s interests in various religious practices ancient and modern, her involvement in spiritualists' discourses, her use of museum artifacts and ancient texts as evidence of broader religious thinking, her use of science within the religious discourse and religion within the scientific discourse, as well as articles that consider other religious/spiritualist associations--Quaker meditations, Moravianism, the RAF seances, popular culture, and the modernist occult. JCRT welcomes studies with a broad approach to what constitutes "religious thought," but all contributions should gesture beyond the single author in order to discuss the artist's larger contribution to modernist conceptions of religious practices, themes, or cultural contexts. Send full article or a 1-page proposal to creid@ycp.edu by Aug 1, 2008; full articles will be due December 1, 2008 with the published issue scheduled for April 2009.

From m.cuddy.keane at utoronto.ca Fri May 23 15:43:01 2008 From: m.cuddy.keane at utoronto.ca (Melba Cuddy-Keane) Date: Fri May 23 15:42:55 2008 Subject: [Msa-members] changes in MSA membership and Modernism/modernity Message-ID: <030001c8bd0d$360c4f20$6401a8c0@Melba3> Dear msa-members, I am writing to let you know of two important changes in MSA: = 1. MSA Membership The membership year in MSA has been running from Oct. 1 to Sept. 30, posing= difficulties for linking MSA membership with the Annual Conference: one me= mbership year obtains at the time of conference registration, another at th= e time of the conference itself. We are in the process of changing the yea= r to July 1 to June 30, with the further arrangement that membership dues p= aid during May and June will count toward the next membership year. Advantages are: -Conference registration and membership dues can be paid at the same time. -The membership year will coincide with the academic year. -Members will receive the Sept., Oct., Jan., and April issues of Modernism/= modernity (again, for the full academic year). -Members who join to attend the conference will be eligible to vote in the = next April election. -We will not have the situation in which a member has paid dues at the time= of conference registration only to arrive at the conference and find that = further dues are owing to remain in good standing. = Implications for you: 1. New members and lapsed members who pay their membership fees now will be= joining for July 1 2008-June 30, 2009. These people can use the current f= orms. 2. Continuing paid-up members who are renewing their memberships will, for = this one time only, pay for three quarters of a year, from Oct 1., 2008 to = June 30, 2009. Fees for this period will be $45 for regular members and $3= 0 for students. After July 1, 2009, everyone will be on the same schedule.= It will take a few weeks to set up the new forms, and I will let you know= as soon as they are ready. You will also receive a reminder about this ch= ange in your annual dues notice. = 2. Submissions to Modernism/modernity The April 2008 issue of Modernism/modernity indicates an important change i= n the submissions process. All manuscript submissions to this journal shou= ld now be sent electronically to the Stanford office, where they will be di= stributed for review among the three editors of this journal. Having one c= entral place for submissions clarifies the submission process immensely and= I thank all three editors for their work in stream-lining this process. N= ote that the book review section continues to be handled by the University = of York, and that the MSA September issue is no longer specifically a confe= rence issue and will be open to general submissions. Consult the journal= =92s headnotes for further information. = I would like to add a special note of thanks at this time to Bill Breichner= and his staff at JHUP for their continued assistance to and support of thi= s society. = sincerely, Melba Cuddy-Keane MSA President, 2008-2009 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
