Digital platforms’ ubiquity and pervasive nature have ignited discussions around the boundaries between what is considered private and what is rendered public. Cohen’s (2012) exploration of privacy in the digital age highlights how technological advancements challenge the conventional norms we attribute to personal space and information. Privacy also seems to be a buzzword of any privately deployed enterprise built upon collecting and distributing personal information (Strauß & Nentwich, 2013). While traditional conceptualisations of privacy and its value consider personal information as something to protect or own while focusing on how information is handled, recent accounts take ontological and contextual perspectives (Solove, 2008; Marmor, 2015).

Frames
Frames are ever-present. We read, use, and propagate them in our daily, as well as academic life. Their definition is difficult to put into words, just like it boggles the mind to imagine in how many ‘frames’ we are entangled ourselves. Frames serve many functions. They reduce the complexity of the world through the art of selection. Be it four pieces of ornamented wood that surround the canvas, an imaginary line on a map dividing one nation from another, or a set of tools used to present an argument, innumerable frames (‘models’, ‘schemas’, or ‘attitudes’) organize our experience.
“Imperfect Women Writers” sponsored by the Margaret Fuller SocietyModern Language Association 2025 | January 9–12, 2025, New Orleans In Memoirs of Margaret Fuller Ossoli, the editors cite an anonymous correspondent of Fuller’s, who writes, “Margaret was one of the few persons who looked upon life as an art, and every person not merely as an artist, but as a work of art. She looked upon herself as a living statue, which should always stand on a polished pedestal, with right accessories, and under the most fitting lights. She would have been glad to have everybody so live and act. She was annoyed when they did not, and when they did not regard her from the point of view which alone did justice to her.

Generative AI promises to revolutionize many facets of social and economic life. The creative power of generative machine learning has been held up as a tool that will transform the work of artists and creators. Yet generative models have also been implicated in the unfair use of intellectual property, the propagation of existing social biases, and the facilitation of a wide range of disruptions to an already precarious labor market.
This guaranteed panel will address the ethical issues of generative AI, focusing on the overlap between creativity and harm. How can the literary humanities help foster an ethics for creativity in the age of generative AI?

Indigenous scholar and game developer Jason Edward Lewis has argued that the involvement and agency of Indigenous communities in the video game industry allow Indigenous artists and creatives to “stake out our own territory in a common future” (Lewis, 2014). After Lewis, and in light of the meteoric increase in video games titles and other works of digital media by, about, and for Indigenous communities, this session will explore the intersection of Indigenous cultures and cosmologies, storytelling, and video games.

PERFORMANCE STUDIES
This area of the Northeast Popular Culture Association encourages paper submissions that explore the relation of science and technology to popular culture and American culture, with science and technology broadly defined. We are particularly interested in putting science, technology, culture, and the humanities in conversation with one another. How are science and technology represented in popular culture? How do we use popular culture to understand science and technology? And how do we use science and technology to understand narratives, art, and culture?
This session considers the place of literary history in English curricula as departments face staffing, funding, and enrollment challenges, asking whether we should continue to teach literary history and, if so, how. The shrinking pains many departments are experiencing, caused by faculty losses and enrollment declines, are making it difficult for them to retain curricular elements that center literary history, such as historical survey courses and period distribution requirements. Alongside these changes are trends in literary study that deemphasize attention to literary history in favor of other modes and objects of study. Possible speaker topics:
