Scope & Topics                                                  

 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.

Nineteenth-Century Medievalisms (61st International Congress on Medieval Studies, May 14-16, 2026 in Kalamazoo)For this session, we seek proposals that acknowledge the broader concept of medievalism(s), which not only invokes the cultural and global dimensions of the Middle Ages but also includes traditional historical and philological critical approaches as well as creative, interpretive approaches.

This is a Call for Papers for a panel at the annual SAMLA conference (November 2025, Atlanta, GA). The conference will be in person. 

Strange Bedfellows? Digital Games and Mental Health Revisited

Until recently, video games had a bad reputation regarding mental health. From the 1976 arcade game “Death Race”, the dominant rhetoric claimed that certain games promoted violence and caused behavioral issues. Neuroscientific research tried to underscore the adverse cultural impact by investigating brain activity involved in game-play, and addiction psychiatry looked into correlations between games and gambling addiction.

Ekphrasis and the Music of Literature: Music, Literature, and the Visual Arts 

This session invites proposals that explore the intersection of visual, aural, and verbal frontiers.  Although ekphrasis and musical form mirror words, they directly affect the emotions at a primordial level not available to verbal articulation. Ekphrasis translates words into visual images, whereas musical form translates them into sounds and rhythms. What are the differences between these modes of expression and how they affect their audiences?

This session is part of NeMLA’s 57th Annual Convention, March 5-8, 2026, Pittsburgh, PA.
