In addition to individual abstracts for paper presentations, proposals for panels of 5 papers will be considered. Be sure to include the heading Special Medieval Hispanic Sessiones at the beginning of the abstract if you would like it to be included in the special medieval sessions organized by the La corónica editors, Professors Jonathan Burgoyne and Emily Francomano.Individually submitted abstracts should be no more than 250 words.

Deadline: November 21, 2014 Questions are welcomed at: IMA2015@slu.edu

We invite proposals dealing with any aspect of medieval narratives. The practice of telling stories is not universal or transparent, and is highly dependent on the medium of transmission and on changing understandings of temporality. What strategies did medieval historians, artists, and storytellers employ to tell narratives? Does storytelling in the Middle Ages always unfold in a linear fashion? How do medievalists today theorize medieval narratives both historically and in the light of new approaches to narrative that are derived from postmedieval technologies (print, film, digital culture)? What different purposes are accomplished by the (re)telling of narratives? We invite papers from medievalists in all disciplines that consider these and/or other questions related to the representation of narratives in texts and art, including chronicles, historical, legal, scientific, and theological documents, imaginative fiction, and manuscript illuminations. Preference is given to submissions closely related to the conference theme, but abstracts on any aspect of medieval studies are welcomed. Proceedings will be published in Essays in Medieval Studies.Proposals for whole sessions as well as individual papers are welcome. Three-paper sessions are scheduled for 90 minutes, including 20 minutes for each paper and time for discussion. Visit our website for more information, including registration information.

We are pleased to announce that the 2015 Texas Medieval Association conference with the theme of Shared Cultures will be held at Texas State University in San Marcos, Texas, October 16-18, 2015.Abstract: Much of our scholarly activity is centered on identifying and describing the margins, those aspects that make a particular event, community, or place different from rest. This approach presumes that the scholarship already has a full understanding of what is normal, typical, or customary in those communities or places. Rather than focusing on the marginalia and the distinct, this conference strives to understand the common, ordinary, and shared spaces.Sub-topics may include but are not limited to:-Urban and rural borderlands such as Toledo, Avignon, Burgos, Rome, Venice, Perugia, Paris, London etc…-Christian Borderlands:-Geographical, Literary, Christian vs. Christian, Christian vs. Jews, Christian vs. Muslim-Slavery-The Medieval Southwest-GenderPlease send abstracts and proposals to: Dr. Yasmine Beale-Rivayayb10@txstate.edu Deadline: September 10, 2015.

This year, the symposium will concentrate exclusively on Spanish-born author Miguel de Cervantes and his magnum opus: El ingenioso hidalgo Don Quixote de la Mancha, one of the most influential and well-known works to be produced during El Siglo de Oro (The Golden Age) in Spain. This work has captivated the imaginations of countless artists, writers, and filmmakers with the exploits of its idealist hero Don Quixote and his trusty companion, Sancho Panza. From Salman Rushdie's novel The Moor's Last Sigh to Salvador Dalí's sculpture Don Quixote to Mitch Leigh's Broadway musical Man of La Mancha, Cervantes' work has influenced all areas of the arts and humanities and continues to do so today.Spaces are limited. Please, submit your title and 100-word abstracts electronically and as soon as possible (deadline: February, 20th, 2015) to: bgomez@csudh.edu.

Temas:-La traducción en los organismos internacionales y el papel del traductor ante la opción de un español neutro (y en cierto modo «neutralizado») frente al reconocimiento adecuado de la variedad y multipolaridad del español como lengua internacional.-La búsqueda de una relación más directa entre el español y otras lenguas y culturas, tales como el chino, el ruso o el árabe para quebrar la hegemonía del inglés como mediador universal, con las implicaciones lingüísticas, culturales y económicas que ello conlleva.-La importancia de la traducción como agente evolutivo de la lengua española “especializada”, y la responsabilidad de los traductores científico-técnicos en ese proceso.
