FW: [External E-Mail] Fwd: Research on Diversity in Youth Literature 3.1 CFP
by Anne Heidemann 11 Jun '19

11 Jun '19

PLEASE SHARE WIDELY Call for Papers: Research on Diversity in Youth Literature 3.1 Special Issue on Minstrelsy and Racist Appropriation in Youth Literature and Culture Research on Diversity in Youth Literature (RDYL) announces a call for papers for a special issue on minstrelsy and racist appropriation in youth literature and culture. Scheduled to publish in June 2020, RDYL 3.1 will be guest edited by Dr. Brigitte Fielder (University of Wisconsin-Madison) and Dr. Katrina Phillips (Macalester College). RYDL is a peer-reviewed, online, open-access journal hosted by St. Catherine University’s Master of Library and Information Science Program and University Library. Children’s literature and popular culture are key to the production of racism. Young people encounter depictions and performances of race in a myriad of forms, often in ways that appropriate and misrepresent non-White people. Given the overwhelming whiteness of children’s literary and popular culture in the U.S., it is clear how such misrepresentations risk overshadowing non-White people’s presence, resistance to racial oppression, and self-representation. Children’s literature and popular culture contributes to minstrelsy, blackface, redface, yellowface, and other forms of racist caricature and performance. This special issue calls contributors to consider the various forms that minstrelsy and racist appropriation take in youth literature, popular culture, and performance. What are the most prominent genres in which these forms of depiction and performance appear? How do forms of racism translate across genres, and how is performance, in particular, implied in other adaptations of minstrel themes? How do the histories of these forms of racism reflect their specific moments and how did they affect the people they misrepresented? How do present iterations of minstrelsy and racist appropriation either replicate or diverge from their earlier forms? We are also interested in work that counters these histories of appropriation. How do non-White writers push against these stereotypes and constructions? Where is the most productive work (in literature, popular culture, or academic writing) against these racist forms? How might we better navigate these as researchers, scholars, librarians, educators, parents and caregivers, and others who seek to prioritize the interests of the children (and adults) who are adversely affected by racist appropriation? RDYL seeks papers that treat youth literature and culture from any time period (including the present) and treatments of minstrelsy and racist appropriation in its array of forms, from text to visual culture to performance. We welcome submissions from a wide variety of fields, including (though not limited to) literary studies, library studies, youth education, performance studies, media studies, American Studies, and history. Interdisciplinary essays that center ethnic studies methodologies are particularly welcome. Submit complete essays by December 1, 2019 to Brigitte Fielder (brigitte.fielder(a)wisc.edu<mailto:brigitte.fielder@wisc.edu>) and Katrina Phillips (kphilli2(a)macalester.edu<mailto:kphilli2@macalester.edu>). Essays should be between 4,000-6,000 words, including footnotes and Works Cited. All citations must be documented according to MLA 8. https://sophia.stkate.edu/rdyl/<https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsophia.st…> -- Sarah Park Dahlen, Associate Professor Master of Library and Information Science Program<https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Flis.stkate…> St. Catherine University Co-Editor, Research on Diversity in Youth Literature<https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsophia.st…> Titles: Dr. or Professor Dahlen Pronouns: She / Her / Hers

Screening of the film "The Public" this Sunday in Saginaw
by Kimberly White 07 Jun '19

07 Jun '19

The Public Libraries of Saginaw has partnered with the Riverside Saginaw Film Festival to bring 'The Public' to the historic Court Street Theatre in Saginaw on Sunday, June 9th at 5:00 pm. We want to take the opportunity to invite librarians across Michigan to attend. Admission is just $5 cash at the door. The Court Street Theatre is located at 1216 Court Street, Saginaw, MI 48602. Parking is available on street, across the street in the open lot, and behind the theatre. Concessions are available. The Public (2018) Rated PG-13 1 hr 59 min An unusually bitter Arctic blast has made its way to downtown Cincinnati. At odds with library officials over how to handle the extreme weather event, the patrons turn the building into a homeless shelter for the night by staging an "occupy" sit in. What begins as an act of civil disobedience becomes a stand-off with police and a rush-to-judgment media constantly speculating about what's really happening. This David versus Goliath story tackles some of our nation's most challenging issues, homelessness and mental illness and sets the drama inside one of the last bastions of democracy-in-action: your public library. Written and Directed by Emilio Estevez Starring Emilio Estevez, Jena Malone, Taylor Schilling, Alec Baldwin, Gabrielle Union, Christian Slater, Jeffrey Wright, Michael K. Williams, Che "Rhymefest" Smith and Jacob Vargas We invite you stick around after the show for a panel discussion about homelessness in our community led by representatives from Hoyt Library and the Saginaw County Consortium of Homeless Assistance Providers. Kim White Head of Hoyt Library Public Libraries of Saginaw
