18.01.2022 Conference: Reception, Production, Exchange ------------------------------------------------------------ FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS EXTENDED Conference of Australasian Universities Languages & Literature Association (AULLA)... and Australian Reception Network (ARN) 9th-11th December, University of Wollongong. Texts live only by being read, yet in being read, they are also transformed. Texts may be read closely or distantly, critically or uncritically, deeply or hyperly, fast or slowly; for pleasure, profit, or piety; on the beach, in the library, or in the university classroom. Texts can have long afterlives, travelling far in time and space on circuits of communication and exchange. They can be given new life in new contexts of reception, interpretation, translation, or adaptation This conference examines the ways in which texts (both literary and otherwise) are produced, exchanged, and received. Final call for papers ------------------------------------------------------------ The organisers welcome submissions for individual presentations of 20 minutes and panel sessions of 90 minutes. All submissions are now due by Tuesday 15th October 2019. We encourage papers with a focus on engaged studies and discussions of teaching practice and of critical/exegetical responses to creative practice. Papers that respond to reception, production, and exchange in the fields of languages and translation studies; the literary study of languages other than English; and philosophical approaches to cultural expression, are expressly welcome. We also expressly welcome interdisciplinary angles on the theme, such as Cultural Studies, Indigenous Studies, Postcolonial Studies, ethnography, sociology of reading, History of the Book, studies in orality or performance, and comparative approaches. Submissions should include: name/s of author/s (including affiliations), title of presentation, an abstract of up to 200 words, and a biographical note of up to 50 words per author. Panel submissions should also include a short description of the panel theme (up to 150 words), in addition to titles, abstracts, and biographical notes for all papers. Submissions should be emailed to aulla-conference [@] uow.edu.au Conference registrations will open soon. The program will be published in early November.

07.01.2022 "UWAP, like every other university press, is decisively not intended to showcase authors and contents relating directly to UWA today. Nor is it primarily a pu...blicity or marketing organ for UWA, though it does have this value as a significant outcome. Instead, the expert, peer-reviewing process maintains the independence of UWAP from parochial interests and institutional pressures."

06.01.2022 UWA Publishing win! Thanks to enormous public support and an extended period of intense union activity, members at UWAP have received contract extensions a...nd some certainty for the near future. UWA has announced that fixed-term contracts for UWAP staff will be extended by six months, with further extensions pending a consultation process for a new model for publishing next year. Staff on ongoing contracts are similarly safe from redundancies. Given the original plan was to close UWAP from the end of November, with fixed term contracts ending in two weeks, our members at UWAP end their year in a much more secure position than a few weeks ago. There is still some uncertainty about the nature of the coming consultation. However, the result is well worth celebrating: members at UWAP stood together and did not allow themselves to be divided, even when facing senior management in one-to-one meetings. Nothing is a done deal if you and your colleagues stay united! #saveUWAP #ourUWA
