Filed under: Austen Societies and Events, Austen in Academia — Mags @ 1:27 am

Alert Janeite Sarah forwarded an announcement about a conference at Chawton Library on November 8, 2007 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The conference is titled “Remapping Austen: Jane Austen in Europe and Beyond.” Speakers include Beatrice Battaglia, Isabelle Bour, Peter Cochran, Gillian Dow, Anthony Mandal, Frauke Reitemeier, Elinor Shaffer, Brian Southam, and Suzan van Dijk.

“Remapping Austen: Jane Austen in Europe and Beyond” is a one-day colloquium being held to mark the launch of “The Reception of Jane Austen in Europe”, edited by Anthony Mandal and Brian Southam, and published by Continuum as part of the *Reception of British and Irish Authors in
Europe* series (general editor Elinor Shaffer) in August 2007. Taking Austen’s European reception as their starting point, the papers presented by an international panel of scholars will examine the presence of Austen and her contemporaries across Europe from the 19th century to the present day. Registration, which includes refreshments and lunch, costs £35.

More information, including a complete program listing, is available at the Chawton Library website.

Alert Janeite Lisa sent us a rather amusing summary of The Jane Austen Book Club:

The Jane Austen Book Club’: A flick for the erudite chick. “Pride & Prejudice,” infidelity, amazing jewelry, lesbian skydiving, bottles and bottles of wine, and dogs. What’s not to like?

Pretty much sums it up, yeah.

Girly, yes, but D.Wade likes it too

TheHype* is concerned that just by mentioning the name *whispers* Jane Austen he might start leaking testosterone out of his ears.

Well, we’ve got two words for you, plebe:

Dwyane Wade.

We believe the proper term to be used at the present juncture would be “pwn3d.”

*Ungentlemanlike language warning.
