NeMLA CFP: 'Hieroglyphics of the flesh:' Embodied Archives in French and Francophone Contexts (Panel)

updated: 
Friday, June 12, 2026 - 8:23am
NeMLA
deadline for submissions: 
Wednesday, September 30, 2026

This panel explores archives beyond the traditional frame and instead as embodied spaces of cultural memory and histories inscribed on skin. Building upon Hortense Spillers’ important essay Mama’s Baby, Papa’s Maybe (1987), we seek papers from humanities scholars in the French and Francophone worlds that reframe the body not as a passive victim but as a living text, a site of memory, and an alternative space that rescripts official records. By retracing histories through the reading of the body, we can activate affect, unleash unexpected memories, and create generative spaces for art that centres on cultural knowledge to empower communities.

deadline for submissions: 
Wednesday, September 30, 2026

This panel examines how 21st-century Latin American women writers mobilize animality as a speculative practice to rethink the limits of the human. Moving beyond metaphor or allegory, these texts stage multispecies intimacies—zones of proximity in which human–animal lives become entangled across bodies, affects, and environments, unsettling stable distinctions among species, subjectivities, and forms of agency.

deadline for submissions: 
Friday, July 10, 2026

Postgraduate English, Durham University’s online peer-reviewed literary journal, has been publishing postgraduate research biannually since the year 2000 and is one of the longest-running online postgraduate literary journals in the world. In recent years the journal has received reprint requests from academic publishers.

The journal aims to provide a space for postgraduate students and early-career researchers (including those currently institutionally unaffiliated) to showcase their work and receive feedback from established academics. While the journal is based in the UK, we seek to cultivate an international range of contributors and judge submissions primarily for strength of argument and fresh insight over a fixed writing style.
