Frankenreads
by Neil Fraistat 28 Sep '17

28 Sep '17

Dear all, I know that very few of you are Romanticists, but I'd like to invite those of you who are interested to participate in Frankenreads, explained below. I'd also very much appreciate it if you might be willing to spread word of the event to colleagues who are Romanticists, or who teach *Frankenstein, *or who are potentially interested librarians--especially those colleagues who are in the Global South or Eastern Europe. I'd be happy to answer any questions about how to participate in the event. Here is the announcement: As you may know, the year 2018 marks the 200th anniversary of the publication of Mary Shelley’s *Frankenstein*, a seminal literary work that, since its appearance, has influenced millions of people across the globe. *Frankenstein* is a rare work of fiction in that it appeals to both novice and expert readers alike, readers who represent both the breadth of human diversity and a range of disciplinary interests and backgrounds. It is a work that remains relevant to contemporary cultural debates concerning issues ranging from biomedical technologies and the ethical questions they raise to misperceptions and misrepresentations of the Other and their impact on our shared humanity. *Frankenstein* sparks imagination and critical thinking about the human experience, and thus it is perhaps no surprise that it is the most widely taught literary text in the USA and the fifth most widely taught book from any discipline. To commemorate the bicentennial of the novel and also to harness its power to generate and inspire communities of readers, the Keats-Shelley Association of America <http://k-saa.org/> in partnership with the National Endowment for the Humanities <https://www.neh.gov/> is launching “Frankenreads”: a “Bloomsday”-style, national/international public reading of *Frankenstein* on October 31, 2018. We hope to: - engage an international community, including but not limited to North America, Latin America, Europe, Africa, and Asia Pacific in related activities centering on the novel; - to make this community visible globally as a community through shared branding and social media; - to livestream a public reading of *Frankenstein* to be held in Washington, D.C. for those around the world who are unable to attend one in person; - to facilitate bringing regional experts of the novel to such events as lectures, discussions, and film showings held at local libraries and community centers; - to hold in the days leading up to Frankenreads an international “Week of *Frankenstein*,” during which students, teachers, and the public could hold *Frankenstein* related events and contribute their thoughts, images, and short videos about *Frankenstein* to a collective blog. We now invite you now to join our core group of over 40 universities and libraries from 10 countries by involving your university, local library, or community center in participating. To read more about strategies for hosting an event, see a select list of related resources, and to register your own event, go to our dedicated website:frankenreads.org. We hope you will be joining us as host or participant! All best, Neil -- Neil Fraistat Professor of English & President, Keats-Shelley Association of America University of Maryland 301-405-3748 https://www.english.umd.edu/profiles/nfraistat https://twitter.com/fraistat

On Mexico, from afar
by Ernesto Priego 21 Sep '17

21 Sep '17

Dear all, My apologies if I make improper use of this list by sharing here a brief personal blog post I wrote today about experiencing the 19/09/17 Mexico earthquake from afar: https://epriego.wordpress.com/2017/09/21/que-lejos-estoy-fuerzamexico-from-… It's probably poorly written. It's personal but it's not about *me: *it's a means to reach out and saying Mexico, we are with you. For what it's worth. In solidarity, Ernesto

However, efforts to fully globalize and democratize information demand intentional efforts to involve and center perspectives that traditional forms of communication have marginalized.
