The International Vladimir Nabokov Society invites paper proposals for the 2024 MLA Convention (Philadelphia, January 4-7) for a panel session on the topic "Nabokov Against the Grain":
The MLA’s Forum on Psychology, Psychoanalysis and Literature solicits abstracts for a non-guaranteed panel at the 2024 MLA Convention in Philadelphia on psychoanalysis and decolonization. Psychoanalysis is often critiqued for its silence on the phenomena of colonialism and its legacies in the present and decoloniality as discourse and praxis. In recent years there have been calls as well to decolonize psychoanalysis and/or resurrect psychoanalysis for the people, the collective, the subaltern, and those without economic or social advantages for accessing the clinic.
For centuries thinking about the future was basically an optimist and progress driven endeavor, aimed at advancing towards the best of possible worlds through the improvement of science and technology.

Going against tenacious perceptions of the south as firmly rooted to the past, we argue for a vision of multicultural, diverse souths oriented towards the future. At times, southern futurism has been a force of oppression, including the technological innovations of the plantation; the rebranding of Atlanta as a place where commerce could ignore racism or complicate it as a model of true global exchange; or the militaristic and privatized response to Hurricane Katrina that foreshadows a disaster-capitalist approach to climate change. However, the south’s overlapping histories of decolonial and anti-racist activism have always imagined progressive futures.
This book, edited by KaaVonia Hinton and Karen Chandler, will be published by Routledge.

Beyond Candies and Fairy Tales: Thinking about Children’s Food Culture
The University of Idaho English Graduate Association is seeking submissions for our multidisciplinary conference, Storytelling: Narrating Agency. Historically, humans have attributed agency to human consciousness and intentionality, often to exert control over other entities. Narrating Agency is an exploration of the meaning of agency, and what/who can have it. Within and beyond humans, we wonder what has the capacity and drive to enact change? In the stories we read, tell, and see, who has the ability to take action and why? Who are the characters, elements, landscapes, and settings that drive change in our stories of the world around us?
"This workshop highlights pedagogical practices that seek to transform Feminist and Queer Studies classrooms into radical and liberatory spaces for decolonial thought and practice. Even as we emphasize intersectionality in our classes, women of color or queer of color critiques are largely offered after—and as correctives to—a canon where whiteness is default and invisible. As a result, these institutionalized canons, which naturalize whiteness alongside colonial conceptions of gender, retain their primacy of thought. How can we instead design our courses to center the coloniality of knowledge and the coloniality of gender? How do we put to practice a pedagogy that takes to heart the work of Lugones, Mohanty, Munoz, and hooks, among others?"
