Calls for Papers in
English & American Literature
For the last two years, the English Department at the University
of Pennsylvania has kept a collection of calls for papers,
conference announcements, etc., on English and American
literature, on Penn's English Web and English Gopher.
To facilitate the exchange of information on upcoming conferences
and publication opportunities, Penn English has created an
electronic mailing list, cfp@english.upenn.edu. We encourage
conference or panel organizers and volume editors to find the
largest possible audience for their announcements by posting them
on this list.
Announcements can include upcoming conferences, panels, essay
collections, and special journal issues related to English and
American literature, and can include calls for completed papers,
abstracts, and proposals. The boundaries are flexible: all
English-language literatures, cultural studies, queer theory,
bibliography, humanities computing, and comparative literature
(even when not concerned specifically with English or American
literature) are within the pale. Conferences or panels devoted
exclusively to literature not in English, to music or art, to
history, etc., are excluded unless they are relevant to students
of English and American literature, as are lecture series,
regular meetings of small local societies, fellowship
opportunities, etc.

SUBSCRIBING
-----------
To subscribe to the list, address a message to
listserv@english.upenn.edu
Do NOT send subscription messages to cfp@english.upenn.edu. The
subject line can be anything, but the body of the message should
read
subscribe cfp
There should be nothing else: no name, no E-mail address. You
should receive a confirmation message after a few minutes. If
you have any questions, contact Jack Lynch at the address below.
------------------------
ARCHIVE OF ANNOUNCEMENTS
------------------------
Those interested in the calls for papers need not subscribe to
the list directly. The announcements will be archived (within a
few days of their posting) and available on the World Wide Web at
http://www.english.upenn.edu/CFP/
and on the English Gopher at
gopher://gopher.english.upenn.edu/11/Announce/CFP
There they'll be grouped under rubrics (such as Renaissance,
American, Theory, Gender Studies) to make browsing easier.
They'll remain there until the conference has taken place.
Please check to see whether they've been posted already before
sending additional copies.
---------------------
POSTING ANNOUNCEMENTS
---------------------
All panel organizers and volume editors are encouraged to make
their calls for papers or proposals on cfp@english.upenn.edu.
Calls can take any format in the body of the message. The
subject line, though, should be as informative as possible (to
enable browsers to find relevant announcements quickly), and
should take the following form:
CFP: Topic of Conference (deadline; conference date)
Messages that don't conform to this standard may be rejected.
The subject line has to fit in 67 characters, so be both brief
and clear in describing the topic of the conference. Some tips:
* Rather than a cryptic panel title like "Imagined
Encounters," use a descriptive entry like "New World in
16th c."
* Put dates in numerals, in American notation (month/day).
Specify the year only if the conference is more than a
year in the future. Include both the deadline for
submissions and the date of the conference.
* In the case of major conferences where the name of the
conference will be more useful than the dates (e.g., MLA,
ASECS, NASSR, Kalamazoo), specify that instead.
* If the conference takes place outside North America, or
if it's a graduate-student conference, note that as well.
Some examples:
CFP: Communities & Communication (10/2; 12/1-12/2)
CFP: Inst. for Early Am. Hist. & Culture (9/30; 5/31-6/2)
CFP: Improvisation & Virtuosity (3/1; MLA)
CFP: 18th-c. Short Story (8/18; ASECS)
CFP: Romanticism in Theory (Denmark) (2/1; 6/28-6/30)
CFP: Meaning in Middle Ages & Ren (grad) (6/30; 9/29-9/30)

ETIQUETTE
---------
Preface the subject lines of all announcements with "CFP," and
make the descriptions as clear as possible, to enable subscribers

on the list before sending additional copies. Remember, it may
take several days for an announcement on the list to appear on
the English Web or in the English Gopher.
In order to keep traffic to a minimum, the mailing list is
strictly for announcements, not for discussions of conferences.
Advertisements of commercial products or services not directly
related to the purpose of the list are forbidden.
