NEMLA 2025------PHILADELPHIA, PA------MARCH 6-9, 2025

SUBMISSION DEADLINE: SEPTEMBER 30, 2024

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, (R)evolution, into consideration it seems only fitting to discuss food. The idea of food or food-ways as the subject of evolution or revolution leads us to consider the transformation of culinary history, identity, production, and consumption within or between the Italian and Italian-American (or Italo-Australian, Italo-Canadian, Italo-British, Italo-Hispanic) contexts.

NEMLA 2025------PHILADELPHIA, PA------MARCH 6-9, 2025

SUBMISSION DEADLINE: SEPTEMBER 30, 2024

In recent years, the landscape of Italian postcolonial literature has been profoundly shaped by prominent authors whose works illuminate a reality that diverges from traditional representations of Italian identity. These narratives offer a groundbreaking re-examination of Italy's colonial past from the perspective of the oppressed, highlighting the enduring socio-economic and cultural repercussions on former colonies and their inhabitants.

Intersectionality in Literature, Linguistics and Translation

deadline for submissions: 
Sunday, December 1, 2024

In an age marked with conflict and strife, humanity is still searching for solutions to oppression and marginalization. In order to better understand the factors leading to these problems, Kimberlé Crenshaw first introduced the term “intersectionality” in 1989 to explain how a person’s intersecting identities such as gender, race, ethnicity, sexuality, age, ability, nationality and religion affect their access to opportunities and privileges. In literary and linguistic studies, intersectionality is used as a framework of analysis that helps scholars examine how these factors fuel various issues, ranging from health inequity to climate change and how they are expressed, negotiated and at times resolved through texts.

This year’s conference “I’ve known rivers”: The Ecologies of Black Life and Resistance” centers “the river, and waterways, as an analytical framework for Black lives past and present.” Water “serves as a prompt for urgent questions about landscapes and ecologies as well as diasporic ruptures, spiritual practices, labors of many kinds, fugitivity and resistance” (ASWAD CFP).

The Politics of Weird and the Weirdness of Politics

Online Conference

November 2, 2024

           The vibe shift among the Democratic base since President Biden announced he would not seek reelection has been remarkable: apathy and anxiety have morphed into enthusiasm and a newfound pugnacious spirit. Stumping for Vice-President Kamala Harris, Minnesota governor Tim Walz, Harris’ vice-presidential pick, launched the verbal missile which has revitalized the campaign’s messaging and sought to define Republicans in succinct, yet devastating terms: they’re weird.

Caring, Taking care

University of Palermo, Cultures and Societies Department
deadline for submissions: 
Tuesday, September 10, 2024

What do ‘caring’ and ‘taking care of’ mean? To what extent are ‘caring’ and ‘taking care of’ similar or different from a theoretical and practical point of view? In which contexts are they situated and to what extent do they depend on other contexts? In this conference, we will consider questions about ‘caring’ and ‘taking caring of’ – possibly connecting or differentiating them – in a broad sense, by opening a dialogue about their definitions in different disciplines and subjects, on their roles in various contexts with both humans and non-human actors, and on the way in which ‘caring’ and ‘taking caring of’ establish relationships with other features that define existence, the ordinary and the extraordinary facts of living.

Call for Proposals for Online Symposium: Crude Representations: BP and the Cultural Imagination of Oil

Online Symposium Friday 24th January 2025

Keynote Speaker: Mona Damluji, Assistant Professor of Film & Media Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara

 

Oil is a cultural as well as material product. It is now pervasive in every aspect of modern life: transport, energy, communications and media, pharmaceuticals, farming, food ingredients and packaging, homes. As many scholars in the energy and environmental humanities have demonstrated, to understand our current dependence on oil and enact decarbonisation we need to contend with its cultural dimensions.

Reconstructing the Electronic Superhighway: Radical Media Art and Techno-Community at the Margins of the Global Village

“Whose global village?” asks Ramesh Srinivasan of the inequalities characteristic of “ubiquitous” computing in his eponymous 2017 book. The scholar reconstitutes Marshall McLuhan’s famed notion of a global village forged by telecommunications media in the shadow of the digital divide. Srinivasan’s question of how peoples othered by an infrastructure built for wealthy Western consumers might otherwise forge techno-community is only more urgent in the wake of a global pandemic; communications blackouts; and heavy reliance on conflict minerals. Yet, it is a question that artists have sought to answer since at least the mid-20th century.

The first International Conference on Globalisation in Languages, Education, Culture and Communication (GLECC2025) is going to be held 30-31 July, 2025, Manchester, UK. (https://glecc.org/2025/)

The past two decades have witnessed remarkable advancements in the studies into Education, Second and Foreign Languages, Translation and Interpreting, Cultural Studies, and Communication. This growth, evident in both the number of active researchers and the volume of scholarly throughput and outcomes, can be largely attributed to the forces of globalisation. Consequently, adopting the globalisation perspective is timely and provides a natural framework for connecting these diverse yet interlinked disciplines.

CALLING ALL POP-CULTURE SCHOLARS!!!! 

I'm one half of the pop-culture podcast The Nostalgia Test Podcast. We are a comedy podcast that revists pop-culture from our childhood to see if it's still good, just nostalgic, or terrible! 

We have a series we do called Nostalgia 101 where we have professionals, industry people, directors, innovators, and scholars come on to teach us about a specific pop-culture topic. 

We recently decided we would LOVE to have on one or more (a small panel of scholars, like up to 3 would be cool) scholars to come on and teach us/talk about the 90s revival of swing dance and swing music. 

We usually record for about an hour, though we love to let the conversation build if it's going well.

This panel, organized by Chisu Teresa Ko (Ursinus College) and Danielle Roper (University of Chicago), invites papers that further the study and theorization of blackface and racial impersonation in Latin America and the Caribbean across various historical periods, genres and forms. As both a racial archive and racial project, blackface performance is the instrument through which people make sense of changes around them— advancements and reversals in racial equality, demographic and political shifts, and (re-) imaginations of national identity.

"Suble Modernist Revolutions: 1925 as Annus Mirablis" invites abstract submissions for our panel at NeMLA 2025 (March 6-9, Philadelphia). A centennial has passed since 1925, a watershed year of subtle Modernist revolution. If we look to 1925 as a year of subtle Modernist revolution, where Modernist literature found its footing as a revolutionary art movement, what symbols, patterns, or commentaries emerge through the exercise of Modernist techniques? Moreover, where has this revolutionary movement engendered revolutions–the cycling and recycling of certain formal interventions? What writing practices still echo through contemporary literature today and what are their implications?

NeMLA 2025 Seminar CfP: Research Colloquium for Graduate Students in German Studies (Philadelphia, PA)

Veronica Williamson / University of Michigan
deadline for submissions: 
Monday, September 30, 2024

Call for Papers:

Writing both shorter (forum posts, book reviews, and seminar papers) and longer pieces (dissertations and book-length manuscripts) is an integral part of any graduate program in the Humanities. Yet many candidates find themselves completing these pursuits as an end point, rather than as part of a larger journey. Some, for example, may find the process too focused on traditional methods of publishing, while others may find themselves yearning to submit selected works to academic journals. As a result, researching and writing do not look or feel the same for everyone, and no single mentor can fulfill every need of any single candidate or scholar.

Narrative: Identity, Temporality, and Interdisciplinarity

Thursday, August 15, 2024 - 9:27am
56th NeMLA Annual Convention
deadline for submissions: 
Monday, September 30, 2024

Scholars of postmodern philosophy have developed a notion that “narration constitutes an act of forming identity further and suggests that a human being needs a life story in order to develop fully as a person” (Meyers 2018). Postmodern literature challenges traditional narrative conventions by embracing a more fragmented, non-linear, and self-referential narrative style (Zaidi & Khurram (2020). This shift can be viewed as a revolutionary dissent against modernism's emphasis on coherence and narrative closure or evolving narrative forms to reflect changing temporal experiences.
