ACLA 2025-- Whiteness: Imploding the Impermeable and Invisible Monolith

updated:

Niia Bishop. Assisstant Professor of English. Allen University
deadline for submissions: 
Monday, October 14, 2024

This seminar invites papers critically exploring whiteness as an invented political and social identity category. We seek to investigate its emergence from the transatlantic slave trade, its persistence as an entrenched social norm, and its relative stasis compared to evolving terminology for other racial identities.

Central to our inquiry: Why do people who believe themselves to be white still invest in this category? What strategies might facilitate evolution beyond whiteness? As other racial designations have transformed—Black/Negro/Colored to African-American, Hispanic to Latin/x, Indian to Native/Indigenous, Oriental to Asian—we pose the crucial question: What does Post-Whiteness look like?

We encourage submissions examining:

Asian Influences in/on American Poetry

updated: 
Wednesday, October 2, 2024 - 10:25am
Northeast Modern Language Association
deadline for submissions: 
Tuesday, October 15, 2024

What effect has Asian thought or culture had in/on American poetry? How has it diversified or failed to diversify that poetry or its epistemology? This panel seeks papers on connections between American poetry/poetics and Asian culture, philosophy, and/or religion. Any connection is welcome including how poets have (mis)used Asian culture and/or thought in their poetry and thinking about poetry. However, in keeping with NeMLA’s theme of “(R)EVOLUTION,” I am particularly interested in affinities between ways of knowing in Asian thought and American poetry and how such affinities may disrupt traditional Western epistemologies or cause American and European readers to rethink their connection to the world.

Advances in Poetry Performance Research
deadline for submissions: 
Friday, December 20, 2024

In recent decades, poetry performance has been one of the fastest growing arts practices internationally. Since movements such as Beat poetry, jazz poetry, and poetry slam have inspired performance scenes across the English-speaking world and beyond, innovative performance styles have emerged alongside new genres and styles of composition geared towards oral performance. The global reach of spoken word poetry has become highly noticeable in the arena of slam, evidenced by the diverse programmes of initiatives such as the 2005 ‘Poetry International World Slampionship’ in Rotterdam, the ‘Coupe du Monde de Poésie’ in France (since 2007), and the recently established ‘World Poetry Slam Organization’.

Women of Color (R)evolutionizing American Literature

Wednesday, October 16, 2024

Expanding on the NeMLA’s theme of (R)evolution, this panel seeks proposals that examine the role that women of color authors and artists have played (throughout the centuries) in helping to change and revolutionize literature by and about, literary representations of, and literary studies focused on women of color in the United States.  It seeks work that examines how women of color have addressed and used their intersectional identities to change the American literary landscape, challenge the American literary canon, and changed how they and their communities have been viewed in the United States.  Proposals can also include how women of color have challenged issues within their own communities and used a multiethnic approach to help literature and liter

For Adrienne Rich, those who watch “will never act,” yet therein lies the enactive potential of poetry, which “appears as a rift, a peculiar lapse, in [this] prevailing mode” of “managed spectacles and passive spectators.” As Sean Bonney insists, “The deep truth is imageless. When you know that, you know there’s everything to play for.” And “everything”? It is, per Diane di Prima, that for and after which we must ask: “you can have what you ask for, ask for / everything." To tap Bonney once more, “All else” — indeed, anything short of everything! — “is madness and suffering at the hands of the pigs."

The following categories are welcome:

*Deadline Extended* NeMLA Panel (March 6-9, 2025 in Philadelphia): Landscapes of Trauma

updated: 
Tuesday, October 1, 2024 - 3:31pm
Joe Larios
deadline for submissions: 
Tuesday, October 15, 2024

How should we understand the relationship between land and trauma? In what senses can we think of a landscape as traumatic or traumatized? There are the traumas that may happen upon a landscape through the dispossession of peoples from a piece of land or through war and destruction. There is the direct harm done to a landscape that might not even have human occupants on it through the effects of pollution or clearcutting. And there are the transformations that landscapes go through when storms, wildfires, and floods happen upon them. Are these also types of trauma? How shall we distinguish between different kinds of events? How shall we identify the traumatized parties? Can a landscape itself be traumatized or only its inhabitants?
