PAMLA Conference
7-10 November 2024 in Palm Springs, California
Session Format: Panel of 3-4 presenters, 15-20 minutes each and a 30-minute group Q&A afterward
This panel centers the literary and artistic expressions of Palestinians by exploring how writers, artists, journalists, historians, and activists navigate themes of abject loss, violence, and trauma; the aim is to offer a multifaceted perspective on the Palestinian experience, one that transcends problematically uncomplicated narratives and foregrounds the power of language and media in shaping identity, fostering solidarity, and demanding justice.
« The Translator at Work: Neutrality in Translation and Interpreting »
Translators and interpreters are expected to be neutral mediators who facilitate dialogue and enable understanding and cooperation between speakers who do not speak the same language. Research has shown, however, that the transfer of information from one language to another is rarely performed without making certain contributions that go beyond the mere rendition of the message being transferred. Translation is a product of cross-cultural interactions that requires linguistic and at times, sociopolitical or even ideological changes.

A Trans-Disciplinary Conference

As an interdisciplinary academic field devoted to examining and critiquing the social, cultural, and historical constructions of masculinity, masculinity studies explores how masculinity is defined, performed, and experienced across different societies and time periods. This field intersects with various disciplines, including sociology, gender studies, psychology, cultural studies, and history, among others. This often leads to the absence of dedicated departments or research centres in academic institutions focusing exclusively on masculinity studies which, in turn, makes it challenging to enable productive dialogues among disciplinary boundaries.

The 121st Annual Pacific Ancient and Modern Language Association (PAMLA) Conference, Palm Springs, California, USA, Nov. 7-10, 2024
Abstract: Medieval Literature will study multiple aspects of medieval literature, with special consideration for work that engages with the conference theme, "Translation in Action." This panel welcomes a broad interpretation of the theme as it relates to Medieval literature as well as the field of medieval studies itself. We also welcome work that considers translation and other similar frameworks.
The 2024 PAMLA Conference will be held in Palm Springs, CA from November 6-10. We invite abstract submissions to a guaranteed, standing session on comics and graphic narratives; abstracts can be submitted through the PAMLA conference website: https://pamla.ballastacademic.com/Home/S/19117
This session seeks proposals that explore comics and comics studies generally, and how comics and comics studies engage with the conference theme of “Translation in Action” more specifically. In particular, we are interested in drawing out two distinct resonances of thinking about translation, both literally and figuratively, in comics:

With the advent of capitalism, always gendered and racialised, as a mode of production, profound changes have taken place in the ways in which various societies, human relations and ecosystems have evolved (Moore, 2016, Kaplan 2009). Technological development has always been integral to the directions and configurations of capitalism, as it has evolved over the last three centuries. Further, the globalisation of capitalism, with the imperialist phase of European expansionism, followed by US-American expansionism as well as later, in the emergence of Chinese state capitalism, has brought technology to the front and centre of social, economic and political relations at every level (Lewis, 2022).
