Robert Lowell session, American Literature Association, 21-24 May 2025 in Boston
The Robert Lowell Society welcomes proposals for one session at the American Literature Association's annual conference (Boston, MA, 21–24 May 2025).
We are especially interested in proposals that consider Lowell's work in light of today's "death studies." For example: Lowell’s own elegies, his memories of and reconstructions of predecessors and peers, his cemetery poems, his care poems, his commemorative publishing projects, his imitations of elegies by others, his prose about others. Panelists might also consider poems about Lowell, including but not limited to elegies.

“To be neurodivergent is to reclaim the pathologizing aspects of a long-term cognitive diagnosis and to reclaim one’s neuro-status as a possible position from which to claim resources, representation and recognition” (Stenning and Bertisldottir Rosqvist 1535).

Call for Papers: International Conference "Sounds of a Lifetime: Exploring Life Writing in Audio Media" (29–30 January 2026, Vrije Universiteit Brussel)
This conference aims to expand the boundaries of life writing studies by focusing on the often overlooked domain of audio life narratives. As Sidonie Smith and Julia Watson highlight in the preface of Reading Autobiography, “[l]ife narrative studies has become an expansive, transnational, multimedia field” (xi), going far beyond the written word. In the latest edition of this seminal work, they touch upon the concept of mediated voice and the aural qualities of social media messages, indicating the varied manifestations of auto/biographical acts (129).
Recent developments in the study of theatre festivals (Knowles 2020) highlight the importance of investigating festivals as key events, both for the field of theatre and, more broadly, for cultural life. These contributions demonstrate the value of examining festivals from transnational perspectives and exploring their impact on the artistic and social communities that have designed, produced, and hosted them. As recurring events that create a distinct time and space, festivals can be seen as a lens through which processes of negotiation between socio-political positions and artistic perspectives can be investigated, often within a context that is simultaneously local and global.

In a world marked by fluctuating borders, diverse identities, and global interconnectedness, the concepts of hospitality and hostility present complex meanings and challenges. This conference invites scholars and researchers to explore the diverse manifestations of hospitality and hostility across linguistics, literature, culture, social sciences, and political discourse. From acts of welcoming to experiences of exclusion, from cultural exchange to conflict, this theme highlights the delicate balance between openness and resistance, friendship and enmity, inclusion and exclusion.

This panel aims to provoke discussion of “trauma” and the critical paradigm that has grown up around it in our time. Especially since the publication of Cathy Caruth’s Unclaimed Experience in 1996, “the traumatic” has grown from a specialist analytic discourse to a catch-all framework that informs how we talk about everything from politics, to art, to personal relationships. In short, the concept of trauma today enjoys a culturally dominant status. In recent years, however, the narrative trope of trauma has served as a target for critics increasingly frustrated with its seeming omnipresence.
STS 2025: Textual Remediations University of Pennsylvania
May 28-30, 2025
It has been a quarter of a century since Jay David Bolter and Richard Grusin released Remediation: Understanding New Media. In it, they introduced the term “remediation” as a way of naming the friction generated by material forms as they shape content. Although remediation was originally conceived as “a defining characteristic of new digital media,” the term’s influence has been felt not only in digital studies but across a network of related fields, from book history and textual scholarship to media history and digital humanities.
