#ASECS calls out "Chancellor" Creighton at Texas Tech for their curricular interventions.
In Jönköping, Sweden, young people gather every year over the Easter weekend in the car park by the IKEA to have a party. It’s illegal, but it’s tolerated. Perhaps because the authorities realise there’s absolutely nothing for young people to do in the country. So they really let their hair down. As early as 8 o’clock in the morning, they set off from home in lowered new Volvos or old Cadillacs, loaded with booze and stereos. By the time they arrive in Jönköping, usually a few hours’ drive away, everyone is, of course, already drunk. The party then goes on until midnight. The drivers stay perfectly sober, clearly having far less fun. The music is blasted into the air by massive stereos; wherever it’s loudest, that’s where the biggest party is. The atmosphere is raw and wild, but always fun and safe. #asecs #jönköping #elmia #biltreffen
One of the reasons why I love #ASECS is the brilliance and kindness of the people and the genuine interest of the membership to support one another. It's true about the snack tables, but we always find a way to celebrate with tasty libations . . .

Greetings, #ASECS friends. I'm running for the ASECS Board of Directors (member-at-large). I'd be grateful if you'd consider voting for me (the election opens tomorrow). I would love to serve an organization that means a great deal to me. asecs.org/about/electi...

Here's one followup to the #ASECS panel I participated in yesterday: Rachel Tils, Hilary Havens, Clovis Gladstone and I discussed what it's like to construct a dataset coming at these things as a humanist.

Too much ASECS to report on, but a highlight for me was that Jen Camden and JoEllen DeLucia snuck in an entire theory of the gothic (short version: self-conscious play, not "derivative") in their paper at my Editing Out-of-Circulation Novels roundtable.

@ASECS I just received an email that chirp.social, which hosts the ASECS (American Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies) group, is shutting down. I am creating a replacement group at @[email protected] . If you follow @[email protected], it should provide the same functionality: When you tag the group, everyone in the group should see the post

Annotated images: art, information, both, or neither? Seeking papers for an interdisciplinary ASECS panel, “Annotation across Media,” organized by Julie Park & Jeanne Britton (me). Cfp at number 7 here: tinyurl.com/3bz64cbj Proposals due to ASECS portal 9/15. #cfp #asecs #18C
Some new people, so I'll mention it is helpful if you follow/tag the @ASECS group for c18/ #ASECS posts of general interest, especially cfp & jobs etc. Because of the way Mastodon works, "followers from other servers are not displayed" so there are people not on c18.masto.host following @ASECS who you can reach by tagging it (& vice-versa if you are on another server) I've been reposting some things to the @ASECS group, but the quote function on my app is kind of buggy.
