The Pioneers of Trans-American Art: in the footsteps of a Caribbean Diaspora aesthetic

Visual surprise is natural in the Caribbean; it comes with the landscape, and faced with its beauty, the sigh of History dissolves.

PAMLA conference 2024: Translating Asia

updated: 
Wednesday, April 10, 2024 - 9:32am
Pacific Ancient and Modern Language Association
deadline for submissions: 
Tuesday, April 30, 2024

Building on the conference theme “Translation in Action,” this panel invites discussion on how Asia is represented and “translated” in modern and contemporary literature, literary criticism, and popular media, including, but not limited to, film, video games, visual novels, music, and fashion. Panelists are encouraged to engage with the following questions:

1. How is Asia and Asian-ness aesthetically and ideologically represented and “translated” by non-Asian authors and producers, e.g., Historia universal de la infamia (1935) by Jorge Luis Borges, La Chinoise (1967) by Jean-Luc Godard, Memoirs of a Geisha (2005) by Rob Marshall, and Civilization VI (2016) by Sid Meister and Firaxis Games?

Adaptation Studies in the Light of Generative AI

updated: 
Wednesday, April 10, 2024 - 9:32am
Association of Adaptation Studies/South Atlantic Modern Language Association
deadline for submissions: 
Monday, July 15, 2024

Generative AI has upended ways of visualizing, reading, and interpreting texts, whether in makerspaces, on publishing platforms, or on college campuses. The use of generative AI raises questions about authorship, copyright, authenticity, originality, and integrity—all critical matters that lie at the heart of Adaptation Studies scholarship.

Seeing the Unseen, Unseeing the Seen

updated: 
Wednesday, April 10, 2024 - 8:43am
Association of Adaptation Studies/South Atlantic Modern Language Association
deadline for submissions: 
Monday, July 15, 2024

“Seen and Unseen,” the theme of SAMLA 96, which will meet from 15 through 17 November in Jacksonville, Florida, focuses on the tasks of discovering, uncovering, and recovering material that may have escaped earlier notice. The study of adaptation sharpens this duality further. Cinematic and theatrical adaptations famously present visuals that audiences for literary texts have previously had to visualize for themselves. Adaptations that censor the texts they adapt seek to replace old ways of seeing with new by concealing matters they think better unseen. Reparative adaptations seek to heal cultural traumas by shining new light on old assumptions about power and status.
