The representation of traumatic experience is a fraught conversation in literary and media studies. Cathy Caruth famously argued for the “unspeakability” of trauma; other scholars such as Naomi Mandel argue that emphasizing the limits of language can inadvertently silence, restrict, and ignore the material and corporeal existence of suffering. This session invites panelists to consider representing and witnessing trauma as acts of translation across the border of un/representability. Although our central question originates in discussions of language and texts, panelists are also encouraged to consider trauma’s appearance across disciplines and forms, such as visual culture, media, and/or performance.
This panel invites papers that explore how ekphrasis and musical form translate verbal language from one realm of sensory experience into another. Ekphrasis translates words into visual images, whereas musical form translates them into sounds and rhythms. Although ekphrasis and musical form mirror words, they directly affect the emotions at a primordial level not available to verbal articulation. How do music and the visual arts compare to literature? What are the differences between these modes of expression and how they affect their audiences? Proposals on ekphrasis, musical poetry, poetic music, or theories of intermediality from all periods are welcomed.

As an interdisciplinary academic field devoted to examining and critiquing the social, cultural, and historical constructions of masculinity, masculinity studies explores how masculinity is defined, performed, and experienced across different societies and time periods. This field intersects with various disciplines, including sociology, gender studies, psychology, cultural studies, and history, among others. This often leads to the absence of dedicated departments or research centres in academic institutions focusing exclusively on masculinity studies which, in turn, makes it challenging to enable productive dialogues among disciplinary boundaries.
