Seeking papers that explore complex relationships between texts and their translations (beyond traditional binaries like "original-
representation," "source-target," etc.) and how such connections shape our approaches to literature, language, and culture. Please send a 250-word abstract and a brief CV.
Sponsored by the Adaptation Studies Forum, this guaranteed panel in the upcoming 2026 Modern Language Association conference will explore the intersection of race and adaptation, focusing particularly on film. The panel will engage in dialogue about how filmic adaptations convey, obscure, and transform racial meanings. They will also connect this conversation about racial representations in filmic adaptations to the theoretical question of how race, racism, and antiracism adapt to changing conditions, manifesting in new forms in new social contexts. We will pay particular attention to the dynamic of racial representation in film, a medium that critics such as Richard Dyer have shown to be influential in creating racial imaginaries.

"I put a lot more value on the animal than I do my name" - The (Un)Importance of Inheritance in Larry McMurtry's Lonesome Dove
Of all the turbulent family relationships found within Larry McMurtry's novels, Lonesome Dove (1985) contains perhaps their bleakest depiction. From dead mothers, distant fathers and misunderstood inheritences, fractured families abound throughout the Lonesome Dove tetralogy and its adaptations, bringing a level of irony to the miniseries' status as a family classic.
