This Northeast Modern Language Association Board sponsored roundtable for the 58th Annual NeMLA Convention in Newport, Rhode Island (March 6-9, 2027) looks at issues and challenges posed by AI to humanities journals—how AI affects journal circulation, how prevalent AI generated submissions are, and whether peer review will ever be outsourced to LLMs—and connecting these to current predictions about the impending decline of the scholarly paper and journal as static objects and primary scholarly outputs.

The religious experience is of significant and acute concern among our varied African diasporic communities and is worthy of close academic exploration and study. The Black Religion & Theology Unit’s mission is to further the development of scholarly research and discussion about the black religious experience; encourage the broadening of Black religion as an academic endeavor; and engage in discourse, from the African diasporic perspective, about religious and theological expression. 

The Société Rencesvals, Pan-American Branch, invites proposals from scholars whose research examines Romance-language epics as sites of social discourse. Far from being merely “songs of deeds,” these texts were critical commentaries on contemporary ideologies. They thus speak profoundly to processes of self-conceptualization in far-ranging topics including –but not limited to– regional/national identity, faith, gender, and race. We are interested in the examination of how Romance-language epics use discourse to construct value systems that contribute to conceptions of the self, situating this literature in the larger study of the production of ideologies in the Middle Ages.

I want to be accepted by society…live in a world I don’t have to hide in…make choices without being in constant fear of them destroying me or the ones I care about.” (Ada, liberated TanakX5 robot, on her hopes and dreams. Alex + Ada, Book 11)

Panel: Precarious and Obsolete Spaces in the Novel

We form strong attachments with the spaces we inhabit, which shape us as we shape them. Spaces house our memories, provide opportunities for encounters, and alter our individual and collective identities. But what happens when these locations deteriorate, become obsolete, or disappear entirely? This panel invites papers considering representations of neglected, abandoned, or otherwise ephemeral spaces in novels from any period or location. We welcome papers on places and spaces of any scale: buildings, towns and cities, landscapes, even nations and worlds.  

Conference Location: University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC

The relation between a theory and its so-called “object” always poses the danger of reducing an art form (in this case film) to a mere instance testifying to the validity of the theory. In this way, the theory provides the “genus” of which a given film will be a mere “species”. The application of psychoanalytic ideas or Marxist concepts to film would therefore run the risk of depriving the specificity and singularity of the object in favour of the hegemony of the theory. Here, theory would truly live up to its theological vocation (the “theo” in theory refers to God) standing transcendentally above its “object” upon which it would cast its daunting shadow.

Krapp: Past midnight. Never knew such silence. The earth might be uninhabited.

Pause.

Krapp: Here I end.

Krapp switches off, winds tabe back, switches on again.

“Here I end” declares Krapp, the titular protagonist of Samuel Beckett’s 1958 play Krapp’s Last Tape. Yet an ending is impossible. Why?

With the arrival of the New Woman at the end of the nineteenth century also came the modernist novel. The beginning of the twentieth century constitutes a period when women struggled with social expectations but decided to leave their own drawing rooms and discover the world; to be power brokers, instead of passive observers; and to gradually move from their interiority to making history. By comparing novels of women writers, both in the US and abroad, this panel attempts to find, in their similarities and differences, the real issues that women faced at the turn of the century, in novels that transitioned from realism and naturalism to modernism.
