deadline for submissions: 
Monday, September 15, 2025

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).

Multiethnic literature of the United States has a history of rethinking, reimagining, and redefining race and racism through the study of non-white and ethnic Euro-American literature, narratives, and experiences. Throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, ethnic American writers have written on what seemed to have been bleak, harsh, dystopian presents, and even apocalyptic futures. Writers who write of their personal, communal, or cultural lived experiences that are outside the norms of the dominant society know and understand that a harsh past and present can still bring about renewal and a bright future. And they have used their voices to represent a broad array of experiences in the U.S.

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.

Hobhouse's career was ultimately marked by his election as a Fellow of the British Academy a hundred years ago, in 1925.Leonard Trelawny Hobhouse (1864-1929) was an extremely dynamic scholar and journalist, who wrote prolifically on a wide variety of subjects that were invariably closely related to the political and social reality of his time. Politics and sociology were, in fact, the two great fields that inspired most of the author's writings.
