Inviting submissions for a panel on "Memory and Mourning: Navigating Trauma and Grief in Postcolonial South Asian Literature" at the 52nd Annual Conference on South Asia in Madison, Wisconsin (October 30–Nov 2, 2024). This panel aims to bring together scholarship on the synergies of memory and mourning with the postcolonial experience as represented in literatures of South Asia. It seeks papers which may explore literary representations of the (dis)continuity of history as a record of loss and suffering which continues to inscribe the collective national and communal memory.

In the opening of When Women Kill: Four Crimes Retold (2022), Alia Trabucco Zerán meditates on the still-prevalent taboo surrounding violence committed by women: “A woman who kills … is twice outside the law: outside both the codified laws and the cultural laws that define and regulate femininity.” In identifying violent women’s twofold transgressiveness, Trabucco Zerán also articulates a desire to justify her own interest in writing about violent women, framing the book as a feminist project through which women’s rage, disobedience, and brutality are recovered and reconsidered to broaden conceptualisations of womanhood.

In keeping with the conference theme “Health in/of the Humanities” the permanent session of the Shakespeare and Shakespearean Criticism panel is soliciting presentations that address illness and health in the work, criticism, or teaching of Shakespeare. The panel welcomes papers that approach illness and health expansively, including mental health, the body politic, and the place of Shakespeare (without presupposing there is one) in the health of the humanities.

Please submit an abstract of no more than 250 words and brief bio or c.v. to Jeanette Goddard at goddardj@trine.edu by April 15.

The MMLA conference will be held in Chicago, IL November 14-16, 2024.
