Spiced Histories: Cartographing Food, Culture, and Conflict in South Asia

Food is never just about sustenance. It is a charged cultural text, a site of memory and mourning, a marker of identity, a terrain of negotiation, and often, a weapon of exclusion or resistance. In South Asia—a region defined by deep pluralities, histories of colonialism, persistent socio-economic inequalities, and enduring spiritual traditions—food emerges not merely as a necessity, but as a powerful index of social structure, affective life, and ideological formation.

Psychoanalysis in Transition: New Queer Approaches in 21st-Century France2026 NeMLA ConventionMarch 5-8, 2026, Pittsburgh, PA Since the 1970s, LGBTQ+ Francophone authors and scholars have produced an expansive critique of psychoanalytic practices and thought. Despite their differing views, Guy Hocquenghem, Michel Foucault, Monique Wittig, Didier Eribon, Sam Bourcier, and Paul B.

In light of this year’s conference theme of regeneration—with its emphasis on engagement, collaboration, and the creation of powerful new entities—this roundtable explores how the humanities might regenerate through human–AI collaboration. As generative AI becomes increasingly integrated into writing studies and classroom practices, human–AI teaming models (Gupta & Shivers-McNair; McKee & Porter; Knowles & Pedersen; Beddington et al.) have shown potential for positive outcomes in writing pedagogy. At the same time, they raise critical questions about voice (Tan et al.; Grey), the complexity of teacher labor (Ghafouri et al.), and agency issue (Yang), prompting us to reflect on what it truly means to co-generate/create with a machine.

In recent years, publishers and children’s book professionals have registered a new enthusiasm for comic and graphic narrative forms. Graphic narratives as children’s literature offer an exciting new type of text for children and youth, providing important insights into the interests and capabilities of these youngsters as readers and as potential agents of change. Curiously, children’s literature criticism has tended to ignore or, at best, marginalize comics and graphic narratives for young people. This “blind spot” in children’s literature and comics criticism, as Charles Hatfield has called it on a number of occasions, is now being addressed.
