Call For Publications: Terms of Engagement: Social Formations, Resistances and the Nation in Nineteenth and Twentieth Century India . Ed. Utsa Ray & Samarpita Mitra

In this volume of essays we are inviting articles from young scholars whose research explores myriad possibilities of ‘writing social history’ from fresh theoretical perspectives and using innovative archival resources. We propose to include essays that look at quotidian rituals of law making, morality, and discipline through various possibilities; the subversive practices implicit in oral comic stories how the colonial state tried to impose order on market spaces where the colonizer and the colonized met in their day-to-day encounters. The purpose of this volume is not to offer a wholly new / revisionist approach to social history. Rather, drawing from the rich inheritance of South Asia’s historiographic traditions, we will collate essays that will delineate the histories of things, spaces, ideas and representations, weaving together their materiality and discursivities. The ‘social’ in ‘social history’, we propose can never be adequately addressed by retaining the earlier dualisms between the ‘social’ and the ‘economic’ or the ‘social’ and the ‘political’. Rather,the ‘political’ and the ‘economic’ are both intrinsic to the material world, the quotidian lives of collectives as well as to the operation of power. In a way therefore, this volume will attempt to bring together apparently disparate essays to foreground a complex web of interrelatedness that constitute the totality called the ‘social’. The ‘social’ here is then a site of historical change where earlier formations of power, ideas, agencies, identities and so on interact to produce new ones.

Call for Papers: Special Issue on “Kindness in Higher Education: Fostering the Human(e) Element of Teaching and Learning” - Journal of Applied Learning & Teaching (ISSN 2591-801X) (Academic Journal - Special Issue)

Introduction

The Journal of Applied Learning & Teaching (JALT) is pleased to announce a forthcoming special issue on “Kindness in Higher Education: Fostering the Human(e) Element of Teaching and Learning”.

This issue aims to explore the essential aspects of Garrison’s (2016) Community of Inquiry model, with a specific focus on the three forms of ‘presence’: social, cognitive, and teaching. We seek to investigate how these elements play a pivotal role in fostering productive and meaningful learning experiences in diverse higher education settings while embracing and nurturing the humane aspect of education.

Theme and Scope

As the landscape of higher education undergoes a transition back to full on-campus, online, and hybrid teaching environments, the challenge of cultivating purposeful pedagogies, enhancing student engagement, and implementing authentic assessment methodologies becomes ever more critical. This special issue is designed to synthesise contemporary research, insightful analysis, debates, and provocations centred around the theme of fostering humane, socially present learning environments.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

•  Social presence and learning outcomes: Exploring the impact of social presence on student engagement, collaboration, and learning outcomes in various higher education settings.
•  Cognitive presence and pedagogical strategies: Investigating the relationship between cognitive presence and effective pedagogical approaches that promote deep learning and critical thinking.
• Facilitating teaching presence in hybrid and online settings: Examining the role of teaching presence in hybrid and online courses, and its impact on the quality of instruction and student learning experiences.
•  Authentic assessment techniques: Presenting innovative assessment methods that align with authentic learning experiences, promoting a deeper understanding of course content.
•  Humanising learning environments: Discussing strategies for creating inclusive and empathetic learning spaces that value and respect individual learner identities and experiences.
•  Student perspectives on social and cognitive presence: Inquiring into students’ perspectives on the importance of social and cognitive presence in their learning journey.
•  Leadership in higher education and learning environment design: Analysing the role of institutional leaders in fostering socially and cognitively rich learning settings.

Call for Articles on The reception of literary works: between translation and paratext - Dec 2024

Poli-femo n. 28

The reception of literary works: between translation and paratext

In a complex and stratified reflection on the reception of a literary work, the role of translation occupies a central position: it often represents a first encounter with foreign literature for the reader. Analysed from the perspective of literary reception, the study of translation may be conceived as a space for linguistic, literary and historical analysis of the phenomenon of translation itself, as the analytical models developed by the group of scholars of the Tel Aviv School, especially during the 1970s, serve to remind us.

We must also consider that in the general space in which the reception of the translated text takes place, we can observe highly heterogeneous factors that affect the work from perspectives that are more or less closely related to it: there are title changes, the publication of shortened editions, and editions in translation for a young audience of works that were originally written for an adult audience. These choices have repercussions on the act of translating and on the reflections it generates on literary and aesthetic issues - from lexical contributions to stylistic changes, through genre crossings from a source literary tradition to a target literary tradition - as well as on socio-cultural issues.

This stratified and heterogeneous overview also requires the consideration of other aspects through which the publishing phenomenon and the dissemination of literary works are explored. This means focusing on phenomena and aspects of the publishing sector, but also of the commercial, material or strictly intellectual spheres, aimed at influencing, conditioning and orienting the reading and 'consumption' of literary works through their translation. These are aspects that support the translation with a parallel, accompanying discourse, which feeds the so-called paratext, through which multiple editorial, authorial, critical, and translation issues can be expressed.

If, on the one hand, every correct interpretative practice reminds us that the translated work does not enjoy a fully autonomous status because it is linked to a source text from which it is inseparable, on the other hand, the palimpsestic nature of the accompanying paratext, rich in accessory information that hybridises the translated work, is configured as a privileged literary space for the construction of a cultural reading of the translated work, an aspect that determines the manner of its reception.

Within this multifaceted and dialectic scenario, the reception of the translated literary work is the product of nodal passages, ranging from interlinguistic transposition to cultural transition, to the representation of what is perceived as "other", in the long-distance dialogue established between the imaginaries of reception and the image of the "other" of which the translated work is the symbol and expression. These are operations that, in fact, in their fulfilment, attest to the at least dual, truly hybrid nature of the literary work in translation, a hybrid nature that can be found in the meshes of the translation itself as well as in the entire paratext accompanying it, as Gérard Genette reminds us in his renowned founding study on this subject.

Reflecting on all this will make it possible to define and position a proposal for reflection on the reception of literary works, understood both as a continuation of the studies and practice of translation, and as a broader cultural reading project, in which, thanks to the voices of the paratext, we find the signs - linguistic, aesthetic, imagological - of the mentalities, ideas, and cultural universes that come into contact in different historical periods and which, through this complex system of voices, converse and produce effects at a textual level.

Topics and issues that may be addressed include:

o The material conditions of the production and dissemination of a translation: ideology, censorship, imagery

o Literary and aesthetic issues: cultural terminology, changes in style, changes in genre

o Reception and image of the "other" in the authorial paratexts of translated texts

o Editorial paratexts and communication strategies of translated texts

o Voices in translated texts: authors, translators, critics, graphic designers, as forms of authorial hybridity

o Plasticity, visual paratextuality and literary reception

o Paratextuality: between text and discourse

o Linguistic and cultural transitions in the translation process: forms of referential hybridity

o Reception of the foreign intertext as a form of poetic hybridity

o Specialist journals, literary blogs, social media and their role in the dissemination and reception of translated texts

Further proposals for study on the subject put forward by those intending to collaborate in the publication will be seriously examined by the Scientific Committee, in order to widen the field of exploration undertaken in this issue of the Magazine. Contributions will be accepted in Italian, English and French.
