The Department of English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University is thrilled to host the 12th annual Post45 Graduate Symposium on March 4-6, 2027.
The Post45 Graduate Symposium seeks graduate-level works-in-progress related to post-1945 media, arts, literature, textual or visual objects, digital platforms, politics, and culture. We welcome submissions that expand our conception of objects and meaning-making post-1945 or place them in comparative, transnational, or hemispheric frames. We especially welcome contributions that foreground the importance of race, gender, class, and sexuality to post-45 studies.

CFP: Red Reading the Modern Novel
Society for Novel Studies (Vancouver, BC; 13-16 May 2027)
The organizer seeks papers that apply Red Reading to twentieth- and twenty-first century novels. The literary canon has been expanded brilliantly in the last few decades, and literary critical approaches have shifted away from modes of corrosive critique. There remains however, a dearth of work grounded in Indigenous epistemologies and critical approaches. As an initial response to this gap, this panel seeks to test Red Reading’s utility for studies of the novel.
The Dark Lord Sauron, the titular Lord of the Rings in Tolkien’s magnum opus, plays many roles and takes many forms throughout The Lord of the Rings, The Silmarillion, and the rest of Tolkien’s Legendarium, and even more in the various adaptations and reimaginings that have since emerged. Over years of varying interpretations, Sauron has evolved into a figure of vast significance. From his early depictions as a looming, disembodied threat to his more recent portrayals as a visually captivating "sexy" villain in contemporary pop culture, Sauron’s image has undergone a transformation, revealing much about changing attitudes toward power, corruption, and desire.
International Conference, 16-18 August, 2027, Vaxjö, Sweden
Nostalgia has become one of the defining cultural affects of the twenty-first century. It permeates politics, popular culture, social media, environmental discourse, memory practices, heritage industries, and everyday life. While nostalgia is often discussed as a feeling directed towards a lost past, it is always encountered through acts of mediation. Memories, desires, identities, and imagined pasts are shaped, transformed, communicated, circulated, and shared through media technologies, aesthetic forms, communicative practices, and intermedial relations.

Session for NeMLA 58th Conference Seeking Papers
We often think of community through a positive lens, but is community always a force for good? How might “community” be simulated, commodified, branded, weaponized, or made into a technology for compliance? Why does the vulnerability to authentic communities matter now in a world where technology has made connection more accessible than ever?

The Military Gaze: War, Intelligence and Security on Twenty-First-Century Screens
Three decades on, the founding categories of trauma theory: belatedness, aporia, the unspeakable, the event that cannot be claimed, remain largely those of a single archive: European, modernist, post-Holocaust. Stef Craps’s decolonising critique (2010; 2013; 2014) has exposed the field’s marginalisation of non-Western suffering, its universalisation of a Euro-American psycho-diagnostic invention, its prescription of fragmentary modernist techniques as its defining form, and its neglect of the connections between metropolitan and other histories of violence. Yet that critique has been prosecuted largely through postcolonial and Anglophone Global South materials.
