The American Literature II: Literature after 1870 Permanent Section of the Midwest Modern Language Association (MMLA) is seeking proposals for this year’s in-person convention in Chicago, Illinois. This year’s theme for the conference is “After the Archive”; accordingly, the Permanent Section encourages presentations that focus on the notion of the archive. Some questions to be considered in context of American literature after 1870 are:

Session Abstract: The genre of African American poetry has a long legacy of both preserving tradition and evolving to suit current times and places. This session invites discussion of the defining features that have been maintained over time as well as patterns of bold experimentation. Rather than seeing tradition and innovation as opposing aesthetic directions, this session hopes to examine ways they have co-existed in this genre and been mutually fruitful.

Archives are not neutral: they tell stories about who counts, whose experiences are remembered, and whose are erased. For centuries, racial hierarchies have shaped the preservation of knowledge, leaving silences where Black, Indigenous, and other marginalized voices should be. The Antiracism Permanent Section of the MMLA invites submissions that move beyond critique, asking how we can reimagine, rebuild, and transform the archive to reflect justice, equity, and shared humanity.We are especially interested in work that explores:

The figure of the witch (both real and imagined) is inherently political and potentially contentious. Each wave of feminism has reflected on shifting considerations of the witch as evocative of issues around gender, power and, more recently, intersectional aspects of identity. More recent critical engagement with witches and witchcraft reflects a transition, transcending disciplinary boundaries and positioning the witch in line with shifting contemporary debates. This shift moves the witch beyond the symbolic or the individual to consider both the interconnected and disparate nature of the witch. We can, instead, see the witch as a key component in movements of political change, as activist alongside the spiritual expl

Though getting it together may signal a practice of spontaneous collectivity, “get it together” is also a gendered command—one which affiliates a performance of femininity with certain aesthetic expectations and demands the unbounded work of love, care, and social reproduction. How do we understand the aesthetics of femininity in a moment where feminism has been defanged of its oppositionality, when it functions as an alibi for the tide of fascism in the form of TERFs and girlbosses? Everyday injunctions toward norms of femininity appear in the form of “Get Ready With Me” videos, Planned Parenthood’s decision to offer Botox, ceaseless trend cycles, and the normalization of weight loss medication, with Serena Williams as its icon.

Exploring the overlapping cultural and literary impacts of Taylor Swift, this session considers her songs, legacy, political endeavors, friendships, feuds, collaborations, and fandom especially through this year's themes of culture, power, and conflict. We ask: What might lively, critical analysis of Taylor Swift offer to cultural and literary studies?

This special issue brings together innovative and interdisciplinary comics scholarship that rethinks the epistemic, aesthetic, political, material, and decolonial aspects of comics across the Global South. These forms prompt renewed reflection and inquiry into what it means to draw knowledge, memory, community, dissent, and futurity, while simultaneously interrogating the foundational categories of representation, authorship, narrative form, and colonial epistemology.

Information, Medium & Society: The Publishing Studies Research Network was founded in 2003 with the inaugural International Conference on the Future of the Book. Since then, the Research Network has expanded its scope in two phases. The first was in 2009 when it became the Books, Publishing, and Libraries Research. In this iteration, the Research Network began to look beyond the book as the primary site of investigation. In 2019 the network underwent another change, to become Information, Medium & Society - The Publishing Studies Research Network.

Abstract

The Maritime Literature and Culture special session at PAMLA 2026 seeks papers that engage broadly with human activity at sea, particularly as they relate to the conference theme, “Our Ruling Classes: Culture, Power, Conflict.” Who rules the sea? How should we navigate and care for our oceans and waterways? What changes—social, ecological, political, cultural—have naval conflicts, commercial ventures, and other maritime activity brought about? How does a ship crew grapple with problems of leadership, mutiny, and internal conflict? This session encourages papers on maritime literatures and media that engage with these and other related questions.

Potential topics include:

- Naval conflict

- Ocean borders and maritime law
