[Commlist] CFP: Revising Alice

*/REVISING ALICE /*

*//*

*//*

Since their publication in 1865 and 1871 respectively, Lewis Carroll’s 
/Alice/ novels have inspired a wealth of academic and artistic 
interpretations and re-interpretations. Refreshingly free of the 
didactic tone that had dominated much of the literature ostensibly aimed 
at children, the /Alice /books simultaneously offered an experience of 
delight and anarchy to successive generations of readers. In this edited 
monograph, we aim to present contemporary and fresh takes on Alice and 
her adventures, with an emphasis on intertextual reference and 
multimodal presentation. We as co-editors of this project come from 
literary and aesthetic disciplines and, as such, we are open to hybrid 
approaches to the material. Possible topics can include, but are 
certainly not limited to:

*//*

**

  * Reinterpretations: Re-reading /Alice/ through a contemporary lens.
  * Adaptation and Multimodality: Films, Theatre, Television, Games,
    Advertising, Comics and Graphic Novels.
  * Daughters of Alice and New Wonderlands: Alice’s legacy.
  * Queering/Transing Alice
  * Alice as Trope or Archetype: Origins, Genre, Alice on the
    psychoanalytic couch.
  * Curation: Exhibiting Alice, Alice as a Cabinet of Curiosities.

The editors themselves intend to focus on Jonathan Miller’s adaptation 
of /Alice /(1966) from a Lacanian perspective, and /Alice’/s influence 
on modern Fantasy texts aimed at a YA audience, so we recommend that 
potential authors bear this in mind.

We welcome proposals of 500 words with short bios of the author all sent 
in one document. The deadline for submission is *April 17^th , 2023*.  
We have interest already from an academic publisher for this project 
with a view to publishing in early 2025. Please send proposals to 
*(revisingalice /at/ gmail.com) <mailto:(revisingalice /at/ gmail.com)>*
