From the famous castle of Hogwarts to Sunnydale high school and the magical academy of Aretuza, Fantasy stories are frequently set in school settings, especially when they are addressed to young readers and viewers. These familiar and possibly reassuring surroundings can hide important mysteries, including secret and magical passages or vampire-teachers, thus creating either worry or wonder.

From the elaborate description of the jeweled lamp in José Rizal’s El filibusterismo to the painting that is a focal point of Nick Joaquin’s Portrait of the Artist as Filipino, Philippine literature has a long history of engaging with the arts. Reflections on the visual and acoustic arts that appear in these and other novels, short stories, poems, and plays offer these writers the opportunity to comment on aesthetics, artistic value, and the institutionalization of culture and heritage.
Some possible inquiries to explore:
- How do descriptions of art function in Philippine literature?
- How do such descriptions serve as theories of art?

“The ordinary is a shifting assemblage of practices and practical knowledges, a scene of both liveness and exhaustion, a dream of escape or of the simple life.” - Kathleen Stewart, Ordinary Affects
This MLA Special Session panel invites papers that interrogate the affordances and stakes of mobilizing marginalized affects, or elucidating affects that move between marginalized bodies in contemporary American literature and culture.
Lauren Berlant characterized affect as the “body’s response to the world, something you’re always catching up to.” And yet critics often overlook the role of material bodies and embodiment in the circulation and impact of affect. How can we put the questions of embodiment and materiality back into the study of affect theory? What can be gained from studying bodily affectations in marginalized lives?
