CFP: Transgender Studies and Pre-1940 American Women’s Literature
Legacy: A Journal of American Women Writers solicits proposals for a guaranteed panel at the SSAWW conference in Bordeaux, France, July 5-8, 2017. Extending the conference CFP, with its keywords such as “transnationalism,” “translation,” and “transatlantic,” we add the term “transgender.” Concepts of movement and transition are central to transgender studies: what might this field add to discussions of “Border Crossings”? How might we think about trans/genderqueer/gender nonconforming authors, characters, and texts as crossing and re-crossing geographic and symbolic borders? And how might the borders that prevail in the study of “American women writers” be altered by a consideration of texts by and about transgender women and/or individuals who identify outside of the gender binary?
> This Legacy-sponsored panel particularly welcomes papers that explore such questions in work prior to 1940 but will consider submissions on writers from any time period. We solicit papers on a range of genres under the umbrella of cultural production, including the visual arts.
> Send your 250-word abstract to Jennifer Putzi at jlputz@wm.edu<mailto:jlputz@wm.edu> by June 25, 2016.

CFP: Transforming the Texts: Adaptation, Remakes, and Remixes in Film and Television
CALL FOR PAPERS
CFP: Transforming the Texts: Adaptation, Remakes, and Remixes in Film and Television
An area of multiple panels for the 2016 Film & History Conference:
Gods and Heretics: Figures of Power and Subversion in Film and Television
October 26-October 30, 2016
The Milwaukee Hilton
Milwaukee, WI (USA)
DEADLINE for abstracts: June 1, 2016
Adaptations, remakes, and remixes are all the results of transforming an existing text—book, play, theme park ride, video game or film—into some other form. These acts of transformation can be god-like as they bring together the creative impulse with pre-existent materials. Sometimes the act of creation takes a story from page to screen, while other times the transformation is from era to era, as film gods and goddesses are made over to reflect our shifting conceptions of self.
How do filmmakers either adapt or make over the source material to reinterpret a text? How far can an adaptation, remake, or remix diverge from the source material before it becomes something new? And what happens when these attempts to take texts from one form or interpretation fail?
Possibly topics include, but are not limited to:
· Whose work is it, anyway?: Authorship and ownership
· From source to screen: Creation, or evolution?
· Issues of fidelity: To what, and for whom?
· Animated iterations
· Every generation needs a hero: Remaking heroes for new ages
· Remakes and remixes as resistance
· Prophets and profits: religious adaptations on screen
Proposals for complete panels (three related presentations) are also welcome, but they must include an abstract and contact information, including an e-mail address, for each presenter. For updates and registration information about the upcoming meeting, see the Film & History website (www.filmandhistory.org).
Please e-mail your 200-word proposal by 1 June 2016, to the area chair:

COPE/No Wrong Door Training
COPE/No Wrong Door Training
We will be having our next Cost of Poverty Experience (COPE) in conjunction with a No Wrong Door Training. We are looking for volunteers to help with the community resources during COPE. If you are not familiar with COPE it is a hands-on poverty simulation that allows participants to role play through various scenarios based on real-life examples. By encountering barriers and being forced to make tough decisions, participants gain a greater awareness of the daily realities for many low to moderate income families in our community. This powerful experience will inform and enlighten your understanding of poverty, inspire you to take action and help those who need it most. As a volunteer you will be playing the role of a resource, such as a police office, doctor, landlord, judge, etc. Each resource will be provided with a script to help guide you through the simulation. If you are interested in volunteering for COPE see details below: COPE/No Wrong Door Training
If you would like to eat lunch and stay for the No Wrong Door Training you will need to pay $10. Please let me know if you are interested at Jamie.brubaker@unitedwaywoodcounty.org Jamie Brubaker, LSW|Assistant Director United Way in Wood County |

Feminist Media Histories: An International Journal: Histories of Celebrity CFP
CALL FOR PAPERS
Feminist Media Histories: An International Journal
Special Issue on Histories of Celebrity
Guest Editor: Hilary A. Hallett, Columbia University
We invite proposals for a special issue of Feminist Media Histories devoted to Histories of Celebrity to be published in the FALL 2016. This volume will explore celebrity’s relationship to the development of, and contestation over, new ideas about gender and sexuality emerging from the early modern period through the 1970s. It seeks articles that interrogate men and women whose “mediated” celebrity became bound up with public debates about sexuality and gender roles. We are interested in articles that are historical and international in their scope and that consider celebrity’s engagement with a range of media including print, theater, film, television, and digital technologies.
Potential topics include but are not limited to:
* the labor of celebrity
* celebrity and gender performativity
* race, ethnicity and celebrity
* feminist/anti-feminist celebrities
* scandal and celebrity
* celebrity’s audience: fans and fan culture
Interested contributors should contact guest editor Hilary Hallett directly, sending a 300-word proposal and a c.v. by February 7, 2016:
hah2117@columbia.edu. The Contributors will be notified by February 15, 2016; completed articles will be due April 1, 2016 when they will be sent out for peer review.
Feminist Media Histories is a peer-reviewed scholarly journal devoted to feminist histories of film, video, audio, and digital technologies across a range of periods and global contexts. Inter-medial and trans-national in approach, Feminist Media Histories examines the historical role gender has played in varied media technologies, and documents women’s engagement with these media as audiences and users, creators and executives, critics and theorists, technicians and laborers, educators and activists. Feminist Media Histories is published by the University of California Press. More information is available here: http://fmh.ucpress.edu/content/submit
