Update – CFP: Teaching the Novel and Short Fiction
The Summer 2003 issue of Academic Exchange Quarterly will be devoted
to “Teaching the Novel and Short Fiction.” Submission deadline is
February 28, 2003.
If we consider the novel as a narrative in prose dealing with people and
their actions in a certain time and in a certain space, all of which conveys
a certain vision on the part of the author; if we utilize close reading of
verb
tenses, adjectives, phrases in apposition, choice of nouns, point of view,
and so forth to focus on even only one of the defining aspects of the
genre, we can forge a host of questions related to the central issues and
interconnecting elements of possibly any great novelist's work. But that is
just one way that we might approach the many challenges we all face
when trying to teach the novel, regardless of the language in which we
may read and discuss it with our students. Are related approaches
appropriate for the teaching of short fiction? And what of the changing
perspectives of the author, the characters, the reader, whether in the novel
or in short fiction?
This issue of AEQ is devoted to various practical and theoretical
proposals that enable the teaching of the novel and short fiction to be a
genuinely meaningful and effective educational experience for students
and instructors.
