Middle Cinema, Realism, and Everyday Life: Rethinking the Cinema of Sai Paranjpye
Please consider submitting an abstract for NeMLA 2026--Italian Food as (Re) Generation
The conference will take place in Pittsburg, PA, from March 5-March 8, 2026. The deadline for abstracts is September 30th, 2025.
Continuing last year’s conversation, this panel proposes to focus on representations of food in Italian and Italian American Cinema, Literature and Media. Taking this year’s theme, Re-Generation, into consideration it seems only fitting to discuss food. The idea of food or foodway as the locus of creation and re-creation invites us to consider the transformation of culinary history, identity, production, and consumption within or between the Italian, Italian American, and/or wider contexts of the Italian Diaspora.

Please consider submitting an abstract for PAMLA 2025--Italian and Italian American Foodways.
The conference will take place in San Francisco, CA, from Nov 20-Nov 23, 2025. The extended deadline for abstracts is June 30th, 2025.
Food inside and outside of Italy has long served as a locus for the construction of identity, either in the way it can represent belonging to or exclusion from a particular group. It is also a strong evocative trigger, forcing the individual or community to remember a distant memory or to recall a painful one.
In this vein, we invite presentations exploring PAMLA's 2025 theme of "Palimpsests: Memory and Oblivion" as represented through food in Italian and Italian American media and literature.
The 1st International Symposium on Archipelagic Studies ‘The Island and the Archipelagic Dimension’, to be held at the University of Madeira from the 23rd to 24th of October 2025, aims to reflect on issues of insularity and archipelagos in the conception of today's world, marked by environmental crises, new trends in human development and reinterpretations of place and its dynamics.

Overview

Full Solicitation
La historia del continente latinoamericano ha estado marcada por numerosas manifestaciones de violencia, guerras, dictaduras, revoluciones y exilios. Estos fenómenos han dejado una honda marca en las narrativas producidas en el continente, en especial a lo largo de los siglos XX y XXI. Una de las formas más visibles de estas huellas es la del miedo que deja impreso en el panorama afectivo de los individuos y ciudadanos. Este miedo que aparece de maneras tan diversas como frecuentes en la literatura del continente, no obstante, no ha recibido la suficiente atención por parte de la crítica.

Established in recent decades as a research area in its own right, the study of ecology in the Renaissance has diversified into several distinct but related fields. The conference aims at taking stock of the broad range of meanings, creating conversations between the existing areas and inquiring into possible directions onward. We suggest a range of both literal and more metaphorical conceptions of ‘ecology’ in which nature, broadly defined, may be considered both an object of study and an agent of change or stasis.

Veterans Studies is a growing field of research that addresses the significant impact of military personnel transitioning from active duty to civilian life with an emphasis on the veteran experience. This session invites papers that explore the many facets of military life exhibited in literature, theater, film, and poetry written about or by military veterans as well as scholarly explorations of the veteran experience. We welcome proposals both related to the conference theme, "Palimpsests: Memory and Oblivion," and those not related.
Please consider sending an abstract for the Standing Session on Italian Cinema PAMLA 2025. The extended deadline is June 30th, 2025.
Moviegoers in Italy have long gone to the cinema to make sense of Italian history, particularly in regard to socio-political issues and questions. For the 122nd edition of the PAMLA conference, we would like to ask presenters for the “Italian Cinema” session to think about Italy’s cinema as a mode of collective history-making, but also a collective space where structured forms of forgetting also occur. We thus invite proposals related to this year’s theme, "Palimpsests: Memory and Oblivion,” as well as those unrelated.
We have also extended the topic to include Italian American Film and TV series.
The 53rd annual Louisville Conference on Literature and Culture since 1900 (LCLC) invites submissions of critical, creative, and hybrid work exploring 20th- and 21st-century literature and culture. We welcome submissions in English, Spanish, French, and, occasionally, other languages. We encourage group proposals that cross institutional, disciplinary, and/or experiential boundaries.
Concept Note

We encourage panel proposals as well as individual submissions.
Papers are generally 15–20 minutes in length. We also encourage works in progress, and informal presentations.
This area considers the intersection of politics, civic life, and popular culture. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to:
Political actions that involve pop culture, including banning or attacking elements of pop culture
In recent years, girls have been progressively gaining increased visibility in popular culture. 2023 has been considered by different media outlets as “the year of the girl” (Firth 2023), which became especially noticeable on social media. Trends like girl math or girl dinner filled sites such as TikTok or Instagram where girls may find a space to express themselves and connect with other like-minded people. The release of Barbie (2023), Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour (2023-2024) or more recently Charli XCX’s album brat (2024) have all interpellated girls and worked as grounds for connection through enacting girlhood.
