PAMLA will meet during the fiftieth anniversary of Ursula Le Guin’s “The New Atlantis,” and of her rare achievement: winning the Hugo, Locus, and Nebula awards simultaneously, for The Dispossessed, which appeared the year before. It would seem an auspicious occasion to explore her retroactively provocative contributions to what has since come to be known as clifi, and her oeuvre more generally.

All disciplines and approaches welcome.

The conference is entirely in-person; no virtual participation is envisioned.

【CALL FOR PAPERS】

The so-called “post-secular turn” in Victorian studies has helped produce a more accurate view of the Victorian period by acknowledging the religiosity of the time rather than privileging doubt and skepticism. However, so far the post-secular turn, understandably, has focused on religious movements and the role of the Bible in the literature of the time. This panel seeks to broaden that focus by examining ways in which a consideration of Victorian religiosity sheds new light on a range of scholarly debates – including but not limited to such topics as disability studies, eugenics, “scientific” racism, or animal rights, among many other possibilities. Interdisciplinary papers are welcome.

Baldwin After BLM

If James Baldwin maintained a “ubiquity in the imagination of Black Lives Matter,” as William J. Maxwell and others have observed, then what are we to make of his words and image in a moment that Cedric Johnson and others have argued must be understood as “After Black Lives Matter”?

(Neo)Colonial Images and Literature: The Construction of the Other

Dança guerreira e religiosa dos Tupinambá, Jean-Baptiste Debret (1834)

We invite scholars to submit proposals for our upcoming conference, which will examine how colonial and neocolonial powers have influenced representations of non-Western countries and their peoples in literature, the arts, and the media. This event seeks to investigate how these representations have been instrumental in constructing negative stereotypes, enforcing cultural hierarchies, and sustaining hegemonic narratives that marginalise indigenous, local, and non-Western communities.

This panel explores how cultural genealogies—artistic, intellectual, political, and linguistic—are constructed, resisted, and reimagined across French and Francophone spaces. Far from being fixed or linear, inheritance often manifests through discontinuities, silences, and contested claims. Artists and thinkers engage with prior figures, movements, and traditions in ways that may reaffirm legacies, subvert them, or create entirely new configurations of belonging and dissent. Whether through homage, revision, irony, or deliberate omission, these acts of (dis)inheritance speak to larger dynamics of memory, power, and transformation.
