Voici un aperçu de ce qui se fait actuellement dans les middlebrow studies. Les middlebrow studies se concentrent beaucoup dernièrement sur les questions du féminin et de gender, et sur l'écriture féminine middlebrow notamment. Il faudrait voir ce que le recoupement de et le dialogue entre ces deux espaces "marginaux" - écriture féminine/ écriture middlebrow" - produit en termes d'effets critiques. Qu'est-ce qui se joue dans le recentrement d'un champ assez peu vaste, institutionnellement parlant, autour de la question du féminin?
Publications:

Calls for papers:
'Crossing the Space Between, 1914-1945'. July 17-19, 2014, Institute of English Studies, London
The 16th annual conference of the Space Between society will explore the notion of ‘crossing’ − whether of oceans, borders, classes, genders, disciplines or genres − as it relates to literature, art, history, music, theatre, media, and spatial or material culture in any country between 1914 and 1945. From 1930s writers and intellectuals crossing the class divide to the surrealist crossing of a sewing machine with an umbrella, from Virginia Woolf’s Orlando to Michael Curtiz’s Casablanca, from crossing the dance floor to spying and wartime betrayal, tropes and examples of crossing proliferate across the culture of the period. We invite proposals for papers considering any aspect of crossing whether literal or metaphorical, spatial or social, successful or unsuccessful.
