Conference Theme
Crossing Boundaries: The Geographical and Intellectual Diffusion of Technology for Language Learning
Technology serves as a bridge that crosses historically constructed boundaries between second language teaching and other disciplines. It has created an unprecedented level of interconnection between language learning researchers and language teaching classrooms. It also provides the affordances to connect language teachers throughout the world in mutually beneficial interactions and expanded educational circles.

The 49th Annual Convention of the Northeast Modern Language Association will meet April 12 to 15, 2018, and will feature approximately 400 sessions, as well as dynamic speakers and cultural events. Every year, this event affords NeMLA’s principal opportunity to carry on a tradition of lively research and pedagogical exchange in language and literature.
The theme of this year's convention is «Global Spaces, Local Landscapes and Imagined Worlds». We seek to examine the concept of spaces: their appropriation and occupation, the demarcation of borders, processes of inclusivity and exclusivity, as well as reproductive processes related to the creation of worlds—real, fantastic, and imagined. Pittsburgh, a city whose recent cultural explosion attracts visitors from around the United States and the world, provides the ideal backdrop for such thoughtprovoking topics.

CFP: «Translating Genres: Arabic Prose and European Literatures» 53rd International Congress on Medieval Studies, Western Michigan University, Kalamazoo MI (May 10-13, 2018)
Panel sponsored by the University of Minnesota Center for Medieval Studies.

This panel welcomes papers that explore various aspects of the genesis, impact, and legacy of medieval Arabic prose written in Europe (especially in areas of intense contact such as the Iberian Peninsula, Sicily, and France). Of particular interest are approaches that consider Arabic and European prose works--such as maqāmāt, historical chronicles, didactic collections, or frame-tale narratives--in the larger context of dialogue across faiths, linguistic traditions, and geopolitical boundaries.

Contact Emma Snowden (snowd030@umn.edu) and Mario Cossío Olavide (cossi009@umn.edu) for more information and submissions. Proposals should include a 300-word abstract with paper title, one-page CV, and any media requirements. Deadline: September 10th, 2017.

Starting in the later fifteenth century, Iberian mysticism underwent a process that propelled it from nearly being equated with heresy to becoming central to Catholic doctrine and practice. This panel proposes a closer examination of this radical transformation that led to the legitimization, in the eyes of theologians and inquisitors, of the search for a personal experience of the divine. The reconsideration of mysticism as an orthodox practice may help to explain the complex development that transformed medieval values into the pillars of the early modern Iberian society. We welcome proposals for papers on the wider spiritual landscape in medieval Iberia that contributed to the growth of Christian mysticism at the turn to the early modern, on the Franciscan reform movement that provided a home to many whom the Inquisition later pursued, on individual mystics and visionaries and their contributions to this trajectory, on individual theologians or inquisitors and their interactions with Iberian mystics, or on the lessons that medieval/early modern regulation of Christian mystical experience might provide for understanding the contemporary impact of governmental and bureaucratic regulation on individual lives.

Please send in an abstract of about 250 words and the Participant Information form found at http://www.wmich.edu/medievalcongress/submissions#papers. Proposals are due by September 15 to acarvaja@purdue.edu and jboon@email.unc.edu. Please feel free to contact either of them in advance with any questions or tentative proposals.
