What effect has Asian thought or culture had in/on American poetry? How has it diversified or failed to diversify that poetry or its epistemology? This panel seeks papers on connections between American poetry/poetics and Asian culture, philosophy, and/or religion. Any connection is welcome including how poets have (mis)used Asian culture and/or thought in their poetry and thinking about poetry. However, in keeping with NeMLA’s theme of “(R)EVOLUTION,” I am particularly interested in affinities between ways of knowing in Asian thought and American poetry and how such affinities may disrupt traditional Western epistemologies or cause American and European readers to rethink their connection to the world.

Expanding on the NeMLA’s theme of (R)evolution, this panel seeks proposals that examine the role that women of color authors and artists have played (throughout the centuries) in helping to change and revolutionize literature by and about, literary representations of, and literary studies focused on women of color in the United States.  It seeks work that examines how women of color have addressed and used their intersectional identities to change the American literary landscape, challenge the American literary canon, and changed how they and their communities have been viewed in the United States.  Proposals can also include how women of color have challenged issues within their own communities and used a multiethnic approach to help literature and liter

STaPs, as a conference by Ph.D. students for Ph.D. students, is unique among PhD conferences in that it welcomes both work in progress and work in the planning phase, as well as work that focuses on methodological issues/challenges rather than on completed research projects/ attained results. Projects of any area of linguistics can be presented (theoretical and descriptive linguistics as well as language acquisition, phonetics, psycho-, neuro-, sociolinguistics, pragmatics and computational linguistics; synchronic or diachronic).

The following categories are welcome:

Oral Presentations (15 min. + 10 min. Q&A) and Posters (30 min.)

Please consider submitting a proposal for our third edition of “American Afterlives” @ the 52nd annual Louisville Conference on Literature and Culture, February 17-18, 2025 (virtual) and February 20-22, 2025 (in person).

The LCLC seeks submissions for “American Afterlives,” a dedicated panel stream that crosses the pre-1900/post-1900 divide. Presentations will focus on ways of rethinking the chronologies by which we structure stories and studies about American literature and culture. Previous panels and papers have considered aesthetic experiments and traditions, remediations of early American texts, speculative and historical fiction, cultural histories of technology, and more.

How should we understand the relationship between land and trauma? In what senses can we think of a landscape as traumatic or traumatized? There are the traumas that may happen upon a landscape through the dispossession of peoples from a piece of land or through war and destruction. There is the direct harm done to a landscape that might not even have human occupants on it through the effects of pollution or clearcutting. And there are the transformations that landscapes go through when storms, wildfires, and floods happen upon them. Are these also types of trauma? How shall we distinguish between different kinds of events? How shall we identify the traumatized parties? Can a landscape itself be traumatized or only its inhabitants?

Focusing on the intersection of theory and practice, this panel calls for contemporary discussions of “theory in the flesh,” i.e., theory considering the material conditions of existence. While the panel is particularly interested in women of color writing, other engagements with the place of material reality in academia will be considered.
