updated: 
Sunday, March 2, 2025 - 1:24pm
MLA 2026
deadline for submissions: 
Friday, March 20, 2026

Diasporic literature is often deeply engaged with the tensions between displacement and belonging, rupture and continuity, loss and recovery. In narratives of migration, exile, and forced displacement, family becomes both a site of longing and a contested space where histories of trauma and survival play out. Diasporic texts frequently challenge normative understandings of kinship, moving beyond biological ties to reimagine family through memory, affect, and political solidarities.

“Not to be made happy is to refuse the promise of this conversion. Not to cheer is to withdraw from the situation. Not being in the mood for happiness becomes a political action. And you know what: I am not in the mood.” – Sara Ahmed, “Too Much and Not in the Mood” 

“I laughed a little. I didn’t mean to, but unsure of what kind of face I should be making, I started laughing, in an odd way that betrayed the fact that I was used to living my life in a daze, without giving anything much thought.” Meiko Kawakami All the Lovers in the Night

“Margaret Fuller and 19C American Women Writers Observing Nature, Engaging Science”

Margaret Fuller’s “Entertainments of the Past Winter,” published in the July 1842 issue of the Dial, relays, “Wherever we went, there was Lyell’s Geology on the table, and many of the suggestions made by these lectures lingered in conversation throughout the winter.” She is referencing Charles Lyell’s Principles of Geology, which made the then relatively new concept of deep time palatable to a wide audience. Lyell aided Fuller’s understanding of how past and present are connected, and helped her to see the long and ongoing processes of nature.

In our daily lives, we frequently encounter terms like "culture," "cultured," "high-cultured," "low-cultured," and "uncultured." We often hastily label individuals based on their appearance or social status; for instance, a shabbily dressed person or a homeless individual might be instantly deemed "uncultured." Certain activities, such as traditional children's games like using a gulti (slingshot) to collect mangoes, playing hopscotch, or spinning tops, are sometimes dismissively categorized as pastimes of the chotolok or lower classes.
