CFP, RMMLA 2017 Borders, Boundaries, and Barriers: Asian Comparative Literature and Film

We welcome paper proposals exploring the broad theme of “Borders, Boundaries, and Barriers” in Asian comparative literature and film. Papers might, for example, consider how national borders and cultural boundaries are circumscribed, maintained, crossed, modified, moved, or eliminated as well as their implications for identity, representation, conflict, and cooperation. Barriers might be considered in either a literal or figurative sense. Topics may include, but are not limited to

• Political and familial division

• Migration, travel, and the expatriate experience

• Postcolonial and diasporic identity
