Announcement ID: 172956
Special Session, Modern Language Association Convention, Los Angeles,
January 2011 (new date for MLA)
Topic: Service learning as Pedagogy in the Multicultural Literature Classroom
Service learning--a sustained, service experience outside of the
traditional literature classroom--has the ability to enhance students'
interpretive abilities as it develops their civic awareness. How do
you use service learning (reflective journaling, reader response
analysis, class reporting) in a traditional literature class? Although
I have focused the topic on multicultural literature, other classes
(women's studies, philosophical/anthropological approaches to
literature, creative nonfiction, etc.) would also be possible.

manifestations of a single image according to Sunni, Shi?ite and Sufi
sources. Each image will be analyzed literally and metaphorically from

McFarland, a leading U.S. publisher of scholarly, reference and
academic books with worldwide distribution.
Islamic Imagery will contain 50, 10-20 page chapters, each devoted to
a single Islamic image, contributed by leading experts in the field of
Islamic, Arabic, Persian, and Literary Studies. Scholars may explore
the following images, among many others: The Image of the Road / The
Image of the Polytheist / The Image of Power / The Image of the Veil /
The Image of Light / The Image of Darkness /The Image of the Perfect
Human Being / The Image of Justice / The Image of Nature / The Image
of God / The Image of Satan / The Image of Love / The Image of Heaven

of Nature / The Image of Sex / The Image of Good / The Image of Evil /

Prophet / The Image of the Imams / The Image of Knowledge / The Image
of Mercy / The Image of the Prophets / The Image of Sin / The Image of
Unity / The Image of the Unseen / The Image of the Jinn / The Image of
Ignorance / The Image of the Universe / The Image of Arabic / The
Image of Creation / The Image of Race / The Image of Scholar

ABOUT IN MEDIA RES
In Media Res is dedicated to experimenting with collaborative,
multi-modal forms of online scholarship.
Each day, a different scholar will curate a 30-second to 3-minute
video clip/visual image slideshow accompanied by a 300-350-word
impressionistic response.
We use the title "curator" because, like a curator in a museum, you
are repurposing a media object that already exists and providing
context through your commentary, which frames the object in a
particular way.
The clip/comment combination are intended to both introduce the
curator's work to the larger community of scholars (as well as
non-academics who frequent the site) and, hopefully, encourage
feedback/discussion from that community.
Theme weeks are designed to generate a networked conversation between
curators. All the posts for that week will thematically overlap and
the participating curators each agree to comment on one another's work.
Our goal is to promote an online dialogue amongst scholars and the
public about contemporary approaches to studying media.
In Media Res provides a forum for more immediate critical engagement
with media at a pace closer to how we typically experience media
In Media Res is a publication of MediaCommons. MediaCommons is a
strong advocate for the right of media scholars to quote from the
materials they analyze, as protected by the principle of "fair use."
If such quotation is necessary to a scholar's argument, if the
quotation serves to support a scholar's original analysis or
pedagogical purpose, and if the quotation does not harm the market
value of the original text -- but rather, and on the contrary,
enhances it -- we must defend the scholar's right to quote from the
media texts under study.
