[MLA 2023] Signing the Sining: Philippine Literature and the Arts

updated: 
Monday, February 21, 2022 - 2:30pm
William Arighi
deadline for submissions: 
Monday, March 14, 2022

From the elaborate description of the jeweled lamp in José Rizal’s El filibusterismo to the painting that is a focal point of Nick Joaquin’s Portrait of the Artist as Filipino, Philippine literature has a long history of engaging with the arts. Reflections on the visual and acoustic arts that appear in these and other novels, short stories, poems, and plays offer these writers the opportunity to comment on aesthetics, artistic value, and the institutionalization of culture and heritage.

Some possible inquiries to explore:

- How do descriptions of art function in Philippine literature?

- How do such descriptions serve as theories of art?

MLA Special Session: Affect and Embodiment at the Margins in 20/21-c. American Literature

updated: 
Monday, February 21, 2022 - 2:20pm
University of Wisconsin-Madison
deadline for submissions: 
Tuesday, March 15, 2022

This MLA Special Session panel invites papers that interrogate the affordances and stakes of mobilizing marginalized affects, or elucidating affects that move between marginalized bodies in contemporary American literature and culture. 

 

Lauren Berlant characterized affect as the “body’s response to the world, something you’re always catching up to.” And yet critics often overlook the role of material bodies and embodiment in the circulation and impact of affect. How can we put the questions of embodiment and materiality back into the study of affect theory? What can be gained from studying bodily affectations in marginalized lives?
