CFP Performing Wilderness Volume

The wilderness appears to be a place devoid of theatre. As perhaps the most social of artistic forms, theatre and performance seem to sit in opposition to the solitude of wilderness, natural areas supposedly untouched by human activity. That is, wilderness and the performing arts are often thought as part of separate spheres, opposites even, situated firmly on either side of the imaginary divides between “nature” and “culture.”

PAMLA 2025 RHETORICAL THEORY PANEL

CALL FOR PAPERS

“Rhetorical Theory” (Standing Session)
San Francisco, CA, Nov. 20-23
Chair: Dr. Ryan Leack (USC)
Email: leack@usc.edu

Description 

This accepted PAMLA special session panel explores memory and oblivion as they relate to queer culture and literature of the modern Hispanic world. Focusing on Latin America, Spain, and the global Hispanophone in the eighteenth through twentieth centuries, the panel explores practices of remembrance, commemoration, censorship, and forgetting both in queer culture (i.e., as practiced by queer individuals and groups) and of queer culture (in a broader cultural ecosystem). How have queer people sought to memorialize their predecessors and bequeath their legacy to future generations? How have these practices interacted with more expansive societal forces that alternately commemorate, silence or marginalize queer culture?
