This panel explores how women writers and female characters in French and francophone literature resist, reconfigure, and expose gendered hierarchies of power embedded within social, political, and cultural “ruling classes.” In keeping with this year’s conference theme, “Our Ruling Classes: Culture, Power, Conflict,” the session examines how literary texts interrogate the mechanisms through which authority, patriarchal, colonial, aristocratic, bourgeois, or religious, is contested.

Pacific Ancient and Modern Languages Association 123rd Annual Conference 2026
November 12-15, 2026--Seattle, WA USA
"The Intersection of France and Iran/Persia in Literature and Film"
The socio-political and cultural relationship between France and Iran has long been shaped in various ways, including literary, cinematic, and linguistic representation. This panel explores the intertextual and visual intersections between these two cultures in literature and film, spanning from the ancient period to the present.
This panel explores how Francophone and Hispanophone fantastic literatures engage structures of power, hierarchy, and authority across diverse historical and cultural contexts.
From the nineteenth century to the present, Francophone and Hispanophone fantastic literatures have unsettled the boundaries between the real and the impossible. Emerging from interconnected histories shaped by imperial expansion, colonial violence, dictatorship, revolution, and migration, the fantastic operates not only as narrative hesitation, but as a subtle language of power. As theorists such as Tzvetan Todorov and David Roas have shown, ontological uncertainty is never merely aesthetic. It signals deeper crises of authority, perception, and legitimacy.
The 123rd Annual PAMLA Conference will be held in person November 12–15, 2026, in Seattle, Washington.
The standing Gothic Studies panel welcomes papers on any aspect of Gothic studies across a wide range of periods, media, and cultural contexts. The Gothic has long served as a flexible and transgressive mode through which writers and creators explore fear, desire, memory, identity, and social conflict. From classic literary texts to contemporary film, television, gaming, and digital media, Gothic forms continue to evolve and adapt across cultures and historical moments.

How can you free people? . . . When every move you make is to get them to accept conditions of unfreedom, when you use power to twist and corrupt what it is to be human, when you ask people to accept shame as triumph and indignity as progress? —Earl Lovelace, Salt (1996)
This panel explores how Latin American and Latine writers, filmmakers, and artists engage environmental elements as dynamic forces shaping human experience, identity, and social life. Grounded in the environmental humanities, the panel examines how cultural production renders visible the entanglements between ecological conditions and forms of movement, including migration, displacement, circulation, and transformation across human and more-than-human worlds.

1956 was a year of theatrical milestones. Eugene O’Neill’s Long Day’s Journey Into Night was published posthumously while The Diary of Anne Frank won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. And, of course, the American Society for Theatre Research was founded. O’Neill’s meditation on troubled family dynamics and addiction would go on to win the Pulitzer in 1957. The previous year, the Pulitzer went to Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, a Tennessee Williams play about alcoholism and (potentially) sublimated queer desire. In 1959, Lorraine Hansberry became the first Black woman to have a play produced on Broadway when A Raisin in the Sun premiered.

Otherness: Essays & Studies
Otherness and Folklore – Special issue Call for Papers
Folklore is all about Otherness. It imagines the other as that which is beyond the scope of the ordinary and the real. It evokes the monstrous, the divine, and the outsider. It invokes magic through ritual, and it empowers the repressed. The other, in folklore, is welcomed into the everyday and woven into the fabric of our communities. It becomes an altered version of alterity, a homely version of the uncanny: an other that we can be intimate with.

Panel proposal #6 for the ASAP 17 Conference
Madison, WI | October 15-17, 2026
How Soon is Now? Co-Constructing Hope for the Collective Present
Ekphrasis, the verbal representation of visual representation, is one of art’s oldest preoccupations. Over the past decade, we have seen a rise in British and Irish innovative ekphrastic poetry and visual art that responds to poetry. Concurrently, there has been a new wave of interest in the efficacy and function of ekphrasis, that focuses on its role as a type of creative practice and a way of thinking through aesthetic judgement. Despite all this activity, no formal consideration of the field of ekphrasis itself has emerged. Ekphrasis underwent a paradigmatic shift in which it was no longer defined by its ‘paragonal’ energy.
As the section editor for The Queer Experience, I invite you to submit a chapter proposal for consideration to be included in The American Research Handbook on Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, an edited scholarly volume that examines the evolving role of diversity, equity, and inclusion within American democracy and educational institutions.
The Queer Experience section seeks rigorous, thoughtful, and evidence-based analyses that examine gender identity, sexuality, intersectionality, and the evolving role(s) of queer people in society at the present moment.
This special issue aims to cultivate greater convergence and contribute to the broader discourse on cross-cultural exchange, particularly in contexts beyond the Euro-American center. We encourage investigations into how cultural values, ideological frameworks, and aesthetic sensibilities shape the translation and reception of children’s literature across diverse cultural contexts. We also encourage the integration of new theoretical lenses and trends, such as transcreation, affect theory, audiovisual translation, cognitive translation studies, and interdisciplinary approaches to gender and ecology, and the impact of AI, in the discussion of translational convergences and divergences in global children’s literature.

Since 2014, the eTEXTS: Literary and Cultural Studies Conference has served as a platform for the examination and exploration of diverse "texts" from English-speaking countries of Ango-Saxon heritage. By bringing together scholars, doctoral students, and early-career professionals, the conference fosters scientific debates and critical discussions that drive forward our understanding of literature and culture.
The East Asian Translation Studies conference aims to provide a platform for translators and researchers working in the East Asian context to exchange ideas on issues related to translation.
Previous EATS conferences have been held at the University of East Anglia, UK (2014); Meiji University, Japan (2016); Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, Italy (2019); Université Paris Cité, France (2022); and the University of Queensland, Australia (2024). They have centered on questions of the circulation of translation within East Asia, constructing/deconstructing East Asia, changing identities of East Asia observed in translation, universals in East Asian translation, and negotiating the borders of translation and East Asia.
