T'ang Studies Society Renewal Reminder
by T'ang Studies Society 27 Nov '18

27 Nov '18

Hello Friends of T'ang Studies, It is once again that exciting time of the year when the new issue of Tang Studies is about to appear. The 2018 issue (number 36) is coming off the presses as I write, so I will be sending the mailing list of current members to the publisher soon. If you have not yet renewed your membership, please do so now. If you cannot remember whether you have renewed (some of you did so way back in January), feel free to send me a message and I will check for you. As always, you can renew using PayPal through the link on the Membership page of the Society's website: http://tangstudies.org/Membership.html Alternatively, you can send a check drawn in U.S. dollars on a U.S. bank to: Anthony DeBlasi Humanities 244 Department of East Asian Studies University at Albany 1400 Washington Avenue Albany, NY 12222 Finally, in the spirit of the U.S. charitable calendar, I might mention that there is a donation link on the same Membership page if you would like to remember TSS on this Giving Tuesday. In any event, we hope your northern hemisphere autumns and southern hemisphere springs are proceeding well, and we look forward to more scholarly and collegial interaction moving forward. Best, Tony Anthony DeBlasi Secretary-Treasurer T'ang Studies Society

TSS Message: MLA Forum in pre-14th Century Chinese Literature
by T'ang Studies Society 19 Nov '18

19 Nov '18

Hello Tang Studies colleagues, The following message is from Prof. Michael Fuller. Best, Tony Anthony DeBlasi Secretary-Treasurer T'ang Studies Society Dear Colleagues, The Modern Language Association forum in pre-14th Century Chinese Literature is currently welcoming suggestions for thematic panels to be proposed for the 2020 MLA convention in Seattle. We will need to make formal proposals to the MLA in early 2019, so we would welcome informal suggestions from interested scholars now about what topics would be of value to the community. In addition, we will also have to put forward nominations for scholars in our field to stand for electio n in 2020 to our own forum's executive committee, as well as to the MLA delegate assembly. If you would like to be considered as a possible nominee--or would like us to consider a colleague, please let us know. Finally, for those who will be at the MLA this January in Chicago, please consider attending our forum's two panels: "Teaching Classical Chinese Poetry as Cultural, Philosophical, and Literary Texts" (Sat 1/5, 3:30-4:45) and "Transitions in Early and Medieval Chinese Literary History" (Sun 1/6, 10:15-11:30) Thanks! Feel free to leave comments and suggestions below, or to contact any of us individually ( [ mailto:dfried@ualberta.ca | Daniel Fried ] , [ mailto:mafuller@uci.edu | Michael A. Fuller ] , [ mailto:xiaowen.xu@ubc.ca | Catherine Xiaowen Xu ] , [ mailto:benjamin.ridgway@gmail.com | Benjamin Ridgway ] ) Sincerely, Michael
