Tending to the NWSA conference sub-themes of Imperialism, War, and Occupation; Transnational Feminisms; and Decolonial Theory and Praxis, this CFP invites submissions for a roundtable on "Feminist Pedagogies of Resistance: Teaching to Transgress Capitalism, Imperialism, Occupation, and Zionism." As we collectively bear witness to capitalist-imperialist-zionist forces waging genocide, warfare, and mass displacement of Indigenous peoples across the Global South in countries such as Congo, Palestine, and Sudan, it becomes all the more clear how academic institutions are not merely complicit in this violence but serve as active participants in the destruction, displacement, and genocide of Indigenous life and land.
This panel aims to address the question of the representation of disability in world cinema (fiction and documentary), while moving away from a purely historical approach that would primarily focus on the evolution of representation of disability to consider how Disability Studies have enabled us to reconsider the cinematic representations of disability. This panel hinges on the assumption that Disability Studies have given rise to a series of critical and theoretical tools, as well as to a renewed perception of disability that no longer sees it as a hindrance, but rather as a driving force for creation.

The 121st Annual PAMLA Conference
The PAMLA 2024 Conference will be held at the Margaritaville Resort in Palm Springs, California (formerly the Riviera Resort, a favorite hangout of Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., and other Hollywood and musical stars) between Wednesday, November 6 and Sunday, November 10, 2024.
The 2024 PAMLA Conference is being held entirely in-person. We won’t be having any virtual or hybrid sessions or papers.
Deborah E. McDowell’s 1993 essay, “In the First Place: Making Frederick Douglass and the Afro-American Narrative Tradition,” issues a call to “start putting an end to beginnings even those that would put woman in the first place” or a “reformulation or refocusing of genealogy as a concept of analysis” (56-7). This roundtable seeks papers that complicate how and in which ways we make visible the roots, sites, and lineages of Black women’s literary and historical production from the eighteenth century forward. Papers can interrogate visibility as a practice or theory of recovery, recentering, and resituating that we also must remain critical of even when establishing “firsts” or origins of Black women’s historical and literary traditions.

The cinematic horror genre depends on a system of oppression, domination, and subordination. Although horror is deeply embedded within the politics of representation and social subjugation, we recognize an explicit lack within its scholarship (across disciplines) regarding class and historical materialism. This collected volume, which has emerged after years of collaboration and collective conversations, wishes to remedy this absence: we call for a comprehensive examination of horror as it intersects socio-economic class issues, brutal capitalism, cultural systems of excess, and rugged individualism.
Across English and related fields, graduate students are developing engaging, inventive, and transformative projects that envision their disciplines in new and exciting ways. In an effort to highlight this “next-gen scholarship,” this session will feature eight (8) 5-minute lightning round presentations to offer a snapshot of where the field is headed. (Please visit the MLA website for more information on innovative sessions at the MLA annual convention.)
Examples include, but are not limited to:
Following methodological interventions in ecocriticism's nostalgic appeals to "nature," this session invites formal analyses and other close readings of texts that gesture toward, illuminate, or articulate liberatory socio-environmental futures. Any period, genre, language.
Please send 250-word abstracts to Sarah-Nelle Jackson, sarah-nelle.jackson@ubc.ca, by March 22, 2024. Graduate students and early-career scholars are encouraged to apply.
What happens when an author, playwright, or filmmaker choses to embed a translation in a fictional setting? This panel will consider the many forms of fictional, imaginary, and somewhat deceitful translations - from pseudotranslation (a text written as if it had been translated from a foreign language, even though no foreign language original exists) to self-translation (when an author composes a text in one language and translates it into another) - to interrogate the act of translation as both a motor and an obstacle in a work of fiction.
Conference: 25-26 April 2024 (online - via Zoom)

Professor Wojciech Owczarski – University of Gdańsk, Poland
Professor Polina Golovátina-Mora – NTNU, Norwegian University of Science and Technology
