The interdisciplinary field of Interactive Digital Narratives (IDNs) combines immersive technologies with the timeless art of storytelling. IDN offers transformative ways to engage audiences, preserve cultural heritage and address social and educational challenges. From branching narratives in video games, to immersive virtual reality experiences and interactive installations, IDNs push the boundaries of how stories can be created and experienced.

The PAMLA 2025 Conference (its 122th one) will be held at the InterContinental San Francisco in San Francisco, California. The conference runs from Thursday, November 20 until November 23, 2025. 

As part of PAMLA's 2025 theme “Palimpsests: Memory and Oblivion,” our special session entitled "Diaspora, Transnationalism, Transculturalism, and the Layered Self" invites scholars from diverse disciplines to consider the palimpsest as a symbolic metaphor for diasporic, transnational, and/or transcultural subjects. In light of troubling nationalisms, what might it mean to be a diasporic, transnational, and/or transcultural subject? What might it also mean to study texts and subjects that defy borders and neat categorizations?

The constellation of essays in this collection will focus on place-based literary works and address issues around resource extraction and ecological devastation. As the foremost cause of underdevelopment and ecological destruction in the Global South and many parts of North America, resource extraction, its resulting land loss and labor exploitation, is the occasion for this project. One of the aims of this collection is to expand “resource extraction” beyond the primary focus on extraction of fossil fuels, natural gas, and minerals and includes the commodification of any part of nature that results in impoverishment and harm without any consideration for sustainability, renewability, and justice for humans and nonhumans.
