‘A Glass of Godly Form’: Shakespeare as the Voice of Established Power special issue of Parole Rubate / Purloined Letters (http://www.parolerubate.unipr.it/) edited by Giuliana Iannaccaro and Alessandra Petrina In recent years, a large number of Shakespearean studies have investigated the use of Shakespeare’s works in order to question and debunk the way in which the political, religious and cultural establishment has supported its hegemonic agenda for centuries through the voice of the Bard. In the last forty years at least, Shakespeare’s plays have catalysed the creative efforts of artists in all fields: stage adaptations, transpositions, parodies, and translations, which have come under critical scrutiny since the 1980s, have often been made to speak the voice of the oppressed and marginalised to react against a dominant, Anglo-centric ideology. Scholars from all over the world have enthusiastically taken up the challenge and analysed this new and unexpected lease of life given to the writer. Together with contemporary re-readings of Shakespeare’s plays as a way to speak forcefully – and, paradoxically, ‘authoritatively’ – against oppression, discrimination and racism, there are fewer (but no less significant) recent critical investigations that take up the challenge of exploring a more dated but persistent phenomenon: the use of Shakespeare’s status as a ‘classic’ within the English, and indeed worldwide, literary tradition in order to impose and enforce political and cultural domination. Shakespeare (as an icon of quintessentially English principles and values) has become, very early in the history of British imperialism, one of the basic cultural products of the colonial enterprise within and without the national borders. Before representing the voice of the oppressed, between the eighteenth and the twentieth century Shakespeare was celebrated as the ideal spokesman for those who wanted to extol the voice of the English Bard in order to enforce and justify a white, male, anglocentric / protestant / suprematist discourse. With the rise of Bardolatry in England and events such as David Garrick’s first Shakespeare Jubilee the establishment of Shakespeare as a national myth proved inexorable. That myth enhanced the rising popularity of the playwright and singled him out as the ideal mouthpiece for national and nationalistic sentiments. The present volume proposes to investigate Shakespeare as an ideological prop of established power or conservative discourse. Given the general mandate of Parole rubate, we focus on words rather than on visual or non-verbal adaptations, and indeed invite explorations on textual and philological issues. The collection of essays edited by Regula Hohl Trillini, Casual Shakespeare (Routledge, 2018) is proposed as a possible model for this kind of investigation, as is (in a more specifically literary frame) Kate Rumbold’s Shakespeare and the Eighteenth-century Novel (Cambridge University Press, 2016). The European appropriation of Shakespeare has been studied, among others, by Ton Hoenselaars and Clara Calvo (The Shakespearean International Yearbook (European Shakespeares, Routledge, 2008) and more recently by Balz Engler (Constructing Shakespeare, Signathur, 2019). One recent work retracing the steps of the colonial appropriation of Shakespeare is Leah S. Marcus’ How Shakespeare Became Colonial (Routledge, 2017). Quotations and misquotations from Shakespeare’s plays, often taken disastrously out of context, supported the image of the writer as the repository of a supposed national greatness that became, in turn, the greatness of the dominant classes. We welcome investigations both of Shakespeare in ‘his own words’, and of the Shakespeare of rewritings, parodies, adaptations – even of attributed words that do not belong to him, as well as of incoherent/inconsistent textual references to his plays and to his very lines. We also welcome contributions that explore the way in which the very icon of the poet was enough to legitimise both English and European educational syllabi, and the ‘exportation’ of British culture abroad. Considered a pillar of the national and colonial educational enterprise, the very name of Shakespeare was also evoked by the repositories of pedagogical programs, in order to lay claim to an acquired ‘universal’ knowledge and to dignify their own aesthetical, spiritual and especially moral advancement.

Negli ultimi quarant’anni, i drammi shakespeariani hanno catalizzato lo sforzo creativo e artistico di chi li ha messi in scena, adattati, trasposti, parodiati o tradotti. Tali rielaborazioni danno spesso voce agli oppressi e/o ai marginalizzati, stimolando il pubblico a ripensare i rapporti di forza all’interno della società e a reagire contro un’ideologia culturale anglocentrica. Studiosi di tutto il mondo hanno raccolto questa sfida e celebrato la nuova ‘giovinezza’ delle opere shakespeariane. Oltre alle riletture contemporanee di Shakespeare come risposta forte (e paradossalmente ‘autorevole’) all’oppressione, alla discriminazione e al razzismo, altri approcci critici si sono occupati – forse in misura minore, ma non meno significativa – di un fenomeno più datato e più persistente: l’uso dello status di ‘classico’ di Shakespeare nella tradizione letteraria inglese (se non mondiale) per imporre o rafforzare un’ideologia dominante. Shakespeare, icona di principi e valori essenzialmente inglesi, diviene in quest’ottica uno dei prodotti culturali fondamentali dell’imperialismo britannico, all’interno e all’esterno dei confini nazionali. Prima di diventare portavoce degli oppressi, lo scrittore, tra il diciottesimo e il ventesimo secolo, è stato celebrato come bandiera di un discorso anglocentrico, protestante, suprematista, maschilista e razzista. La nascita del culto di Shakespeare, con fenomeni come il Giubileo creato da David Garrick nel 1769, ha portato alla mitizzazione nazionale del bardo: il mito così fondato ha contribuito alla crescente popolarità del drammaturgo, proponendolo come espressione primaria di sentimenti nazionali e nazionalistici. Questo volume si propone di investigare Shakespeare come supporto ideologico del potere

“Semiosis of coloniality and cultural dynamics at times of global mobility” Mobility intended either as departure/escape from the native place for political or economic reasons or as desire to conquer “new worlds” is deeply rooted in the human experience of all individuals and communities. In the last twenty years of the 20th century – while the Western colonisation of many areas outside Europe was excluded from mainstream discourse – scholars, theorists, and creatives opened up a discussion on the encounter/clash of cultures and powers. Since then, the experiences of colonised, diasporic, and racialised subjects have been brought back to the fore by anti-colonial Caribbean scholars. Books such as Contrapunteo cubano del tabaco y el azúcar (1940) by Fernando Ortiz Fernández, Discours sur le colonialisme (1950) by Aimé Césaire, and Peau Noire, Masques Blancs (1952) by Ibrahim Frantz Fanon represented a departure from traditional and established Western canons. Therefore, a novel “discourse” was framed by Francophone, Anglophone, Lusophone, and Hispanophone artists and theorists (whose languages, together with Italian, have dominated the modern world) which developed along two different paths: postcolonial and decolonial thinking. Both had the same goal, to achieve epistemic decolonisation as well as political and cultural emancipation from the Western imperium. Consequently, the postcolonial perspectives (mostly related to British colonialism) adopted by Edward Said (Orientalism, 1978), Gayatry C. Spivak (“Can the Subaltern Speak?”, 1988) and Homi Bhabha (The Location of Culture, 1994) as well as the decolonial perspectives (mostly related to Spanish colonialism) adopted by Aníbal Quijano (Colonialidad y modernidad / Racionalidad, 1991) and Enrique Dussel (1492: El encubrimiento del Otro. Hacia el origen of the “mito de la Modernidad”, 1992) are closely linked with the concepts of belonging, roots, nativism, and authenticity. This gradually led to the culturalist/translation discourse of “contact zone” (M.L. Pratt), centre and margin (bell hooks), hybridisation and creolisation (Édouard Glissant), “provincialising Europe” (Dipesh Chakrabarty), and the theorization of the poetic/politics of mestizaje (Gloria E. Anzaldua), “border communities” (Ngũgĩ wa T hiong’o), and (black) diaspora (Paul Gilroy, Stuart Hall, among others). The forced exodus and/or the status of refugees (due to the “democracy” exported by Western powers in a context of globalism and capitalism) demonstrated that colonisation practices did not stop after World War II. Moreover, it showed that the postcolonial system did not implement real decolonisation processes either in the former colonial countries or in the former imperial countries; in fact, these processes were conceived and implemented in the context of the nation-state model inherited from Europe. This led the decolonialidad/modernidad group to propose a distinction between “colonialism” and “coloniality”. ECHO invites scholars from any discipline and trans-discipline as well as creatives in the fields of music, cinema, literature, visual, and digital arts to submit a proposal. Essays may deal with literature, cultural politics, demographics, economics, cultural geography, social and linguistic phenomena, semiotics, epistemology, religion, environment as well as gender, race, and class in the media and the arts. The aim of this issue is to offer new comparative and transnational perspectives which may challenge the Eurocentric concepts of nation and continent, West and East, thus opening a new debate on the categories of world and planetarity. Suggested topics and research fields: Reworking of the concept/feeling of belonging in literary, linguistic, and visual narratives of creative residents and migrants. The concepts of origin/root and here/elsewhere/now as represented/narrated in relation to race, language, nationality, religion, and gender by forcibly displaced individuals or groups. Postcolonialism and decolonisation: the evolution of perspectives, practices, theories, and poetics in the languages of creativity, social policies, and “geo-body-spellings”. Border-crossing theories and practices in the linguistic, visual, literary, multimedia, and transmedia domains, including studies on fashion/clothing, advertising, video art, street art, photography, etc. Postcolonial representations and/or alternatives to postcolonial discourse on identity, gender, and sexuality, including transnational perspectives (in the fields of music, cinema, TV, and other visual media). Connectivity and technology: impact of traditional media (radio and TV), smartphones, social media, and other ways of connecting to (resident) users, power groups, people “on the move”, and displaced individuals. Economics: work and social security for diasporic communities. Diaspora and power: production and evolution of arts and languages in contexts of liminality, (in)visibility, semi-segregation, and in-betweenness. Beyond the limits of authenticity and nativism: the elaborations of the Afro-Futurist model in different cultures of postcolonial diaspora. Deadlines: Abstract (500 words): 8 March 2020 Notification of acceptance: 30 March 2020 Article submission: 14 June 2020 Publication: 30 November 2020 Length of articles: max 7000 words To submit an article write to: rivista.echo@uniba.it https://ojs.cimedoc.uniba.it/index.php/eco/pages/view/callpapers?acceptCookies=1  

CFP: “Minorities in / and Ireland”, ed. by Patrick Mc Donagh Studi irlandesi. A Journal of Irish Studies, 10, 2020 <http://www.fupress.net/index.php/bsfm-sijis> Guest editor, Patrick McDonagh, European University Institute, Florence (<Patrick.Mcdonagh@eui.eu>) In recent years, events such as the 2018 Abortion Referendum, 2017 recognition of Travellers as an ethnic minority, the 2015 Same-Sex Marriage Referendum, 2015 Gender Recognition Act and the 2013 State apology to women sent to Magdalene laundries, amongst others, have all symbolised a dramatic positive transformation in Irish society. These developments heralded the emergence of a more tolerant, welcoming and inclusive society, willing to acknowledge the wrongs of its past. For many, they have signalled a new dawn in Ireland’s history, leaving behind the image of a socially conservative society. While the overwhelming majority of politicians and political parties speak out in support of minorities and those once marginalised in society, championing their right to dignity, equality, respect and basic human rights, this has not always been the case. On the contrary, for much of the twentieth century Ireland’s political class remained silent, or turned a blind eye to issues affecting minorities and those who did not conform to the status quo, whether that be as a result of their gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, race, creed, ethnic minority, disability, etc. In fact, until only recently, this cohort often found themselves at the margins of Irish society, with many forced to emigrate in search of a better life. While many issues still remain to be addressed, most notably the controversy surrounding direct provision and questions of equality, same-sex marriage and abortion in the North, the aforementioned changes in Irish society are particularly noteworthy, demonstrating the extent to which a small cohort of marginalised individuals and groups can bring about social, cultural and political change in the face of considerable constraints. To date, however, these groups have been understudied in Irish historiography; a historiography which has for decades primarily adopted a top down, rather than bottom up approach to understanding change in Ireland. With this in mind, this special edition seeks to bring minorities to the fore and explore their role in transforming Irish society. In particular, it seeks to explore issues such as; how have minorities sought to make their voices heard in Ireland, what strategies have they adopted to bring about social and political change, where were the sites of these efforts taking place; and how have representations of minorities evolved over time. We are interested in papers from a range of different disciplinary backgrounds which seek to explore the role and impact of any of the below in bringing about social, cultural and political change in Ireland. Fields of investigation and topics may include: Disability/disability rights Ethnic and linguistic minorities Health/Patients’ Rights Advocacy HIV/AIDS activism LGBT+ rights advocacy Migrants/refugees Religious minorities Sex Workers Those sent to institutional homes (i.e. Magdalene laundries) Travelling community Please send abstracts of 250 to 400 words, as well as a short biography of 50 to 100 words, by 31st October 2019 to the Guest Editor, Patrick McDonagh (<Patrick.Mcdonagh@eui.eu>), to the General Editor, Fiorenzo Fantaccini (<ffantaccini@unifi.it>) and to Dieter Reinisch (<dieter.reinisch@eui.eu>) assistant editor for the 10th issue. Submissions accepted for publications will be announced by 15th November 2019. Finalized contributions for submission to referees must reach the editors by 1st February 2020: Articles must be formatted in accordance with the journal editorial guidelines <http://www.fupress.net/publ…/journals/…/sijis_guidelines.pdf> and should not exceed 12000 words, including endnotes and bibliography. Informal enquiries to the Guest editor and General Editor are welcome and should be addressed to the contacts above. The 10th issue of Studi irlandesi. A Journal of Irish Studies will be published in June 2020. http://www.fupress.net/index.php/bsfm-sijis?fbclid=IwAR1gMmY0SYWBKI5k1PcaOxNWs1e7X8TDIKQeRZxh9y_t-_NrUSbeRE0jPeo

Volume 15 (Spring 2020) of Iperstoria (www.iperstoria.it) Special Section Theme: Populism and Its Languages Editors:         Massimiliano Demata (University of Turin) Maria Ivana Lorenzetti (University of Verona)  Iperstoria is a multilingual, international, double-blind peer-reviewed biannual journal (ISSN 2281-4582) with a focus on English and American Studies. Call for Papers Today the term Populism is a trendy delegitimising term used by politicians to criticise the modus operandi of their opponents, portrayed as demagogues or manipulators. In political science, however, it is an ambiguous and complex phenomenon that ultimately entails putting into question the institutional order by constructing a dualistic view of society. Populism has taken on many forms and connotations through time, also shifting from right-wing to left-wing orientation. Nowadays populist movements on both sides of the political spectrum exploit a feeling of disillusion, widely felt in the public sphere of many countries, in the traditional workings of representative democracy and in the establishment (or the “elite”) by claiming to represent the true will of the “people” and are founded on a divisive rhetoric (us vs. them) . Populism has been the subject of a vast literature and the source of intense scholarly debate. Many definitions of populism have been proposed, as it has been considered an ideology, or “thin-centred ideology” (Mudde), a discourse (Laclau), a style (Moffitt), a discursive style (Hofstadter) or a form of political strategy (Weyland).  However, very little attention has been devoted to how populism is structured in discourse: while both media observers and scholars debate on who or what is truly “populist”, there are still gaps in the literature about the language – and most crucially the discursive strategies – used by populist actors as well as their electorate.This special section of Iperstoria on “Populism and Its Languages” will focus on the discursive strategies used by those political leaders, movements and segments of the electorate who are ritually branded as “populist” within political and media discourses. The ultimate aim of this collection is to explore the possibility that there are certain common features in discourse that can be characterised as quintessentially populist. We welcome contributions in English from scholars working within a wide range of theoretical approaches, both from a quantitative or qualitative perspective, addressing discourses (by leaders, parties, media as well as the public) in the Anglo-American public spheres that may be characterised as “populist”, that discuss populist performances, rhetoric and practices, or focus on different textual typologies (e.g. speeches, newspapers articles, social media posts). Papers may also include contrastive studies, but a focus on the Anglo-American perspective is required. Abstracts, of no more than 300 words plus references and a short bio sketch of the author(s), should include a clear indication of the methodology used and should be submitted to both editors Massimiliano Demata (massimiliano.demata@unito.it) and Maria Ivana Lorenzetti (mariaivana.lorenzetti@univr.it) by 30 September 2019. Papers will be subjected to a double-blind peer review process. Submission Schedule: 30 September 2019: abstracts submission to the editors 15 October 2019: notification of acceptance 31 January 2020: first draft sent to the editors 30 March 2020: reviewers’ comments sent to authors 30 April 2020: submission of final manuscript   All inquiries regarding the issue should be sent to massimiliano.demata@unito.it and mariaivana.lorenzetti@univr.it

CFP: WiN: The EAAS Women’s Network Journal (Issue 2) ***Deadline extended to July 15, 2019*** The second issue of the EAAS open access journal, WiN, will be based on the Thessaloniki 2019 symposium theme, “Feminism and Technoscience” (http://www.enl.auth.gr/technoscience/cfp.html). In light of contemporary sociopolitical developments and prevailing technological practices, The EAAS Women’s Network Journal will explore the connection between feminism and technoscience. In particular, it will examine feminist activism in relation to central notions such as the body, nature, and subjectivity within the context of current technoscientific discourses. The long history of the feminist movement and the great diversity it displays when approached through the perspectives of race, ethnicity, age, and class underscores its strong political impetus and dynamic evolution. Especially when viewed in the context of technoscience, feminism reveals different socio-cultural, political, and media practices at work that not only affect but also shape public perceptions of femininity with respect to gender-defined skills, relations, and reproductive abilities. A number of contemporary feminist theoreticians, such as Judith Butler, Donna Haraway, and Rosi Braidotti, have commented, each from her own unique perspective, on the impact that technology has had on female labor, bodies, and subjectivity within the context of transnational and global capitalist control. We invite articles that explore all aspects of this theme. Scholars who participated in the symposium are particularly encouraged to submit their articles, but the call is certainly not limited to them. Possible subthemes may include: • Gendered technoscience/technophobia • Feminism and the biopolitics of reproductive technologies • Feminism and transnational capitalism • Feminism and digital networks/the (social) media • Feminism and political advocacy/online activism • Misogyny and the (social) media • Domestic technologies and activism • Feminism and technological innovation • Ecofeminism and industrialization • Feminism and posthumanism • Performing gender in virtual environments • Cyberfeminism and gendered cyborgs • Feminism and cybersexualities • Feminism, technoscience and literature • Feminist game studies and game production • Queer(ing) technology • Ethnicity, femininity and technology • Feminism, technology, and workforce politics • Technological representations of feminism • Transnational feminism and technology If you would like to submit a manuscript for consideration, please email your submission (of 5,000-8,000 words, in MLA style) by July 15, 2019 to eaaswomensnetwork@gmail.com. Manuscripts that pass the initial editorial review will undergo double-blind external peer review over the summer. For more information about the journal, please consult our website: http://women.eaas.eu We would also like to take this opportunity to announce the new and old members of our steering committee: Elisabetta Marino (Italy), Izabella Kimak (Poland), Marta J. Lysik (Poland), and Ingrid Gessner (Germany). Johanna Heil (Germany) will join the new team in 2020. We look forward to your submissions and to your participation in future events, including the next EAAS Women’s Network symposium, which will take place in Debrecen, Hungary in March/April 2021. Sincerely, The EAAS Women’s Network Steering Committee

CTS SPRING-CLEANING: A CRITICAL REFLECTION Special Issue of MonTI Guest Editors: María Calzada Pérez (Universitat Jaume I) and Sara Laviosa (Università degli Studi di Bari Aldo Moro)   This special issue is intended to be a self-reflexive research work that looks back and forward upon corpus-based translation studies (CTS). Similarly to other publications in the field (e.g. Laviosa 1998; Laviosa 2002; Olohan 2004; Kruger et al. 2011), looking back brings us to at least 1993, when Mona Baker officially envisaged a turning point in the history of the discipline. Baker was not the first person to undertake corpus-based research (see, for example, Gellerstam 1986; Lindquist 1989), but she was undoubtedly the scholar who most forcefully predicted what the future had in store. And her premonitions were realized in virtually no time. Research has grown exponentially from 1993 onwards in the very aspects Baker had anticipated (corpora, methods and tools). We believe it is time we pause and reflect (critically) upon our research domain. And we want to do so in what we see is a relatively innovative way: by importing Taylor and Marchi ‘s (2018) spirit and methodologies from corpus-assisted discourse studies (CADS) into CTS. Like them, we want to place our emphasis precisely on the faulty areas within our studies. We aim to deal with the issues we have left undone; or those we have neglected. In short, and drawing on Taylor and Marchi’s (2008) work, we propose to devote this volume to revisiting our own partiality and cleaning some of our dustiest corners. Regarding partiality, Taylor and Marchi (2018: 8) argue that “[u]nderstandably, most people just get on with the task of doing their research rather than discussing what didn’t work and how they balanced it.” Going back to our previous research, identifying some of its pitfalls, and having another go at what did not work is a second chance we believe we deserve. Looking at our object of study from different viewpoints or within new joined efforts, plunging into (relatively) new practices, such as CTS triangulation (see Malamatidou 2017), may be one of the ways in which we can now contribute to going back to post-modernity; and do things differently. As to dusty corners (“both the neglected aspects of analysis and under-researched topics and text types” (Taylor and Marchi, 2018: 9), like Taylor (2018) we need further work on (translated) absence; similarities (as well as differences); silent voices, non-dominant languages, amongst many other concerns. The present CFP, then, is interested in theoretical, descriptive, applied and critical papers (from CTS and external fields) that make a contribution to tackling CTS partiality and dusty spots of any kind. We particularly (but not only) welcome papers including: critical evaluation of one’s own work awareness of (old/new) research design issues use of new protocols and tools to examine corpora identification of areas where accountability is required and methods to guarantee accountability cases of triangulation of all kinds studies of absences in originals and/or translations studies of new voices, minoritised (and non-named) languages, multimodal texts, etc. pro-active proposals to bring CTS forward Practical information and deadlines Please submit abstracts (in Catalan, English, Italian, and Spanish) of approximately 500 words, including relevant references (not included in the word count), to both calzada@uji.es and saralaviosa@gmail.com.
