"(R)evolutionary Feminist Politics in Contemporary Irish Women's Literature" (NeMLA 2025 Roundtable)

In 21st-century Ireland, women have experienced several (r)evolutions in their political rights that have, in turn, shaped the imagination of the nation. Irish abortion law faced a major public challenge with the 2012 death of Savita Halappanavar after she was denied an abortion while suffering a septic miscarriage; in 2018, lawmakers passed a law that allows abortion up to week 12 of pregnancy, a small victory in a nation where abortion under any circumstances beyond saving the life of the mother was forbidden.

Classical Queers Here and Now: Mythmaking in the 21st Century

Literary works, video games, comics, TV shows, films, and podcasts that adapt or retell Classical mythology remain popular. Yet, recent attention on these contemporary stories has focused largely on women and women’s perspectives, while Classical queer identities have been decidedly underexplored or even excluded from feminist scholarship. Works such as Xena: Warrior Princess, BBC/Netflix’s Troy: Fall of a City, Madeline Miller’s The Song of Achilles, Steven Sherrill’s The Minotaur Takes a Cigarette Break, and Supergiant Games’ Hades and Hades II demonstrate a sustained interest in centering queer bodies and voices within the Classical tradition.

Hip hop began in the Bronx, NY, in the early 1970s, but the musical genre and cultural movement build from a rich history of Black American traditions, experience, and epistemology. This session seeks short presentations that will prompt a roundtable discussion about how hip hop has influenced and been influenced by American (r)evolution.
Some might argue that hip hop was and is a cultural (r)evolution for many reasons, including:

ACLA 2025-- Whiteness: Imploding the Impermeable and Invisible Monolith

deadline for submissions: 
Monday, October 14, 2024

This seminar invites papers critically exploring whiteness as an invented political and social identity category. We seek to investigate its emergence from the transatlantic slave trade, its persistence as an entrenched social norm, and its relative stasis compared to evolving terminology for other racial identities.

Central to our inquiry: Why do people who believe themselves to be white still invest in this category? What strategies might facilitate evolution beyond whiteness? As other racial designations have transformed—Black/Negro/Colored to African-American, Hispanic to Latin/x, Indian to Native/Indigenous, Oriental to Asian—we pose the crucial question: What does Post-Whiteness look like?

We encourage submissions examining:

Asian Influences in/on American Poetry

updated: 
Wednesday, October 2, 2024 - 10:25am
Northeast Modern Language Association
deadline for submissions: 
Tuesday, October 15, 2024

What effect has Asian thought or culture had in/on American poetry? How has it diversified or failed to diversify that poetry or its epistemology? This panel seeks papers on connections between American poetry/poetics and Asian culture, philosophy, and/or religion. Any connection is welcome including how poets have (mis)used Asian culture and/or thought in their poetry and thinking about poetry. However, in keeping with NeMLA’s theme of “(R)EVOLUTION,” I am particularly interested in affinities between ways of knowing in Asian thought and American poetry and how such affinities may disrupt traditional Western epistemologies or cause American and European readers to rethink their connection to the world.

Advances in Poetry Performance Research
deadline for submissions: 
Friday, December 20, 2024

In recent decades, poetry performance has been one of the fastest growing arts practices internationally. Since movements such as Beat poetry, jazz poetry, and poetry slam have inspired performance scenes across the English-speaking world and beyond, innovative performance styles have emerged alongside new genres and styles of composition geared towards oral performance. The global reach of spoken word poetry has become highly noticeable in the arena of slam, evidenced by the diverse programmes of initiatives such as the 2005 ‘Poetry International World Slampionship’ in Rotterdam, the ‘Coupe du Monde de Poésie’ in France (since 2007), and the recently established ‘World Poetry Slam Organization’.
