It is our conviction that existing models of criticism privilege and sustain prevailing hegemonies—and thus that critical form is in urgent need of intervention and innovation.
— Jenny Cookson and Emma Gomis
This panel explores the potential convergences between 1960s psychedelia and medieval material culture, including surreal imagery, animation, bright colors, and the cross-pollination of disparate media attempting to evoke a hallucinogenic or heightened response in the viewer.
Using examples from various national literatures, we would like to investigate the key concepts behind a “faithful translation”: what are the obligations of the translator to the source text, and what is the relationship between the original and the translation? Papers focusing on self-translations done by bilingual authors are also welcome. Please submit your abstract through the official Nemla portal only at https://cfplist.com/nemla/Home/S/21947

With the theme of (Re)generation in mind, this roundtable explores 21st-century cultural products created by women in Transatlantic and Latinx contexts. The works of prominent authors and filmmakers of our era (María Fernanda Ampuero, Liliana Colanzi, Mariana Enríquez, Belén Gopegui, Angélica Gorodischer, Rita Indiana, Carmen Maria Machado, Sara Mesa, Guadalupe Nettel, Mónica Ojeda, Anita Rocha da Silveira, Samatha Schweblin, to name a few...) reveal that women are still marginalized and disregarded within their societies. Still, despite the unsettling tone that often characterizes these works, they also offer bridges to more equitable realities made possible by powerful feminist coalitions and unconventional alliances.

Scope
This roundtable will explore the development and impact of a yearly Joan of Arc themed Carnival parade and affiliated activities on understandings of Joan of Arc and carnival, itself. The roundtable has alread been approved for inclusion at the International Congress of Medieval Studies in Kalamazoo, Michigan from May 14-16 2026.
Joan of Arc has long been a muse to musicians, inspiring operas (Verdi, Tchaikovsky) musicals (Goodtime Charley) sung mystery plays (Claudel & Honneger), ballads (Leonard Cohen, Arcade Fire) and pop culture parodies such as the rap battle between Miley Cyrus and the Maid. Her story has also been powerfully related en muet in early silent films. This panel investigates the “sound effects” of Joan’s story, considering the roles of music, speech, silence, voices, and voiceover.
Questions may be directed to panel organizers Tara Smithson (tsmithson@saintmarys.edu) and Scott Manning (smanning@gmail.com).
Key cities in Joan of Arc’s history often emphasize associations with the Maid as important parts of their cultural identities and contributors to their economies. Catholic and secular organizations alike propose tours for those who wish to “live” some dimension of Joan’s history by visiting the sites where she was born, fought, and died.
