Call For Submissions
The editors and editorial board of MLQ: A Journal of Literary History invite submissions of topical, short-form essays on literary history and the crises, clarities, and opportunities of the present moment for an ongoing special series, “Present Tense: Literary History in Our Time.”
For people of Latin America and the Caribbean, centuries of modernity/coloniality have resulted in continuous and compounding traumas that demand resilience. Yet, when we talk of resilience, are we ever naturalizing trauma and legitimizing the status quo, accepting that the way to be of oppressed peoples must always be in response to abusive conditions? Is it not possible that in focusing on resilience, we enable the continuation of unequal power structures by putting pressure on the oppressed to learn to adapt to what hurts us, rather than putting pressure on the world to destroy oppressive systems including racism, patriarchy, and capitalism? Instead of focusing on resilience, we should be imagining and enacting ways of being otherwise.

We invite chapter submissions for inclusion in an edited volume on Transfiction and Translation Studies.
The edited volume will explore how fiction can be used as a source to approach translation theory and issues related to Translation Studies. Topics may include:
• How fictional views of translators/translation provide an opportunity to explore preconceived notions of translation
• The role/task of the translator as it relates to culture and society
• Power struggles between authors/editors/publishers and translators
• Ethical issues (such as fidelity/infidelity, visibility/invisibility, translator intervention)
• Translator’s gender

119th session of PAMLA
2022 - Los Angeles, CA (November 11-13, 2022 - entirely in-person)
Special Session - CFP
This is a Call for Papers for an online workshop titled Familiar Perpetrators: On the Intimacy of Evil in Contemporary American Literature and Popular Culture, which explores what happens when perpetrators become familiar figures, either because their representation is well-circulated in works of American literature and popular culture, in ways that make the audience feel intimately connected to them, or simply because they are represented either by themselves or by their own family members and friends.

Session Abstract:
Call for Papers: The Language of Trees, Forests, and Nature
Deciduloma, Volume 1
Deadline: September 15th
Sometimes rare moments and experiences require new words, so we created the word deciduloma to mean "a visceral reawakening, as if rising from an emotional coma in which you become reintroduced to a beautiful part of yourself long since forgotten or thought to have been permanently lost."
There are many ways of experiencing this type of "visceral reawakening." One of those ways is through nature. For our inaugural issue, we welcome essays that engage with different aspects of nature through literature, film and television, and other forms of visual medium.
The arrival of the Empire Windrush at Tilbury on 22 June 1948 marked the beginning of an important period in British writing but also an era that largely silenced women writers—particularly women writers of colour. In the years following the arrival of the Windrush, the output of women writers of colour in the UK, or Black British women writers, increased. Yet, recognition of this group was not as forthcoming as acclaim and acknowledgement rested largely on male writers. While the work of all immigrant writers in the UK—particularly those texts that recount the lived experiences surrounding immigration—is critical to literature studies, women writers have historically been isolated to the margins of the canon.
Anticipating notions of modern cryptography, Marx famously observed in Capital Vol. I, that value “does not have its description branded on its forehead; it rather transforms every product of labour into a social hieroglyphic.” Therefore, to understand the “product of [this] labour”--the commodity form–we must learn how to read (as in, decode) the “social hieroglyphic.” Reading, for Marx, thus becomes a site of significant contention as it leads to the making and unmaking of our social world. This panel seeks to examine ways in which the modernist era encountered processes of “social hieroglyph[y]” in the literary marketplace and turned the act of reading into a distinct practice with serious stakes.

Online Workshop on 'Mobility and/as Resistance: The Political Project of Nomadism'
This roundtable invites papers that explore the folds in time in which cities exist, either mapped, virtually drawn, or told to establish the cultural movements running beneath cities’ lives. What narratives engage these moments of close past or emerging shifts that impact the resilience of urban life? What small gestures, ephemera, and/or detritus best represent the city’s recent past or future? What elemental, unspoken aspects of urban space perhaps seem most threatened in the present moment? Versus the city obliterated by time, how does literary or visual storytelling engage, re-imagine, or frame the lived and enduring city? How do these more present reflections become windows on deeper time, human movement, and urban space?
Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha's Care Work: Dreaming Disability Justice (2018) details, through a series of essays, the disabled queer community's knack for finding "ways to keep each other alive when the state is fucked, and community is fucked and inadequate too" (63). From care webs to mutual aid to political organizing, Piepzna-Samarasinha both champions and advocates for a care-taking by and for the communities it aims to serve, one that fosters self-determination, legibility, and resiliency. This panel invites proposals that center in their research and analysis the doing of queer and queer crip care work.

From the "Proust Effect" to music's "reminiscence bump", the senses can evoke strong memories and convey complex details of an event. Each sense is encoded in the brain in its own particular way and registers unique characteristics of a moment. Likewise, the senses in tandem can build relations that resonate the multisensory qualities of an event. We are looking for papers that explore the link between the senses and memory in various forms of media and texts. The proposals should interact with Sensory Studies (Smell, Sound, Taste, Touch, and Sight) in some way or be works that consider the intersection of the senses (synesthesia, etc).

Are you a major fan of DC or the Marvel Universe and its female characters: Captain Marvel, Wonder Woman, Black Widow, General Okoye, Princess Shuri or any others in the universe? We are developing an edited collection with interest already from publishers focused on Female Superheroes and their representation in a traditionally male-dominated film genre--action. Potential themes are female representations of power, strength (physically, psychologically, scientifically), as well as female minority representations of female power in superheroes and how they are similiar or different from their male counterparts. We are also interested in exploring how these female superheroes are portrayed when the director(s), producer(s), writer(s) are female.
We are seeking submissions for an upcoming volume on the work of Frederick Rolfe, also known as Baron Corvo, with particular emphasis placed on his novel Hadrian the Seventh. The book will be published by Lexington Books in 2024. The chapters should be around 7,500 words.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
