Keynote Address:
“Teaching Milton Reading Shakespeare”
Matthew Biberman, University of Louisville
This Comparative Literature session, like its namesake discipline, strives to be broad, inclusive, and interdisciplinary. We therefore welcome proposals that touch on multiple works of literature and strive to make use of more than traditional comparative studies, borrowing analytic or interpretive practices from other disciplines such as philosophy, film and media studies, digital humanities, cultural or art history, etc.
This session seeks papers engaging with a wide variety of Comparative Literature topics, including perhaps, but not necessarily, papers exploring the main theme of this year's PAMLA conference, "Translation in Action," and/or other topics beyond that. The session also invites papers focusing on:
· World Literature
***This was posted back in February, and we have decided to extend the deadline to May 1st.
We are presently accepting abstract submissions for the Renaissance Drama session(s) at the 81st meeting of the South Central Modern Language Association conference.
The conference will be held September 19-21, 2024, in New Orleans, LA at Hotel Monteleone.

Literary texts affect us emotionally. They can negotiate the ambiguities and complexities of emotions in a highly nuanced way and help readers to develop their "emotional literacy," that is the ability to read, understand and cope with one’s own emotions and those of others. Through modulations of narrative voice and focalization, literature can, for example, generate empathy or insight by allowing readers to reflect upon the emotional impasses, contradictions and precarities faced by marginalized or "othered" individuals or groups (e.g. recent media representations challenging the trope of the presumed "lack of empathy" of individuals on the Autism spectrum) and the cultural variability, historicity and social constructedness of emotions (e.g.
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.
