Developed and promoted by the German-speaking academic community, frequently mobilized by Anglophone and Scandinavian scholars, yet less used in Francophone and Italophone research, the concept of postmigration marks a significant shift in migration discourses. By dissolving the binary opposition between migrants and non-migrants, it allows immigration to be regarded as an intrinsic component of European societies. The conference “From Experiences to Storytelling of Postmigration” aligns with this ongoing epistemological and analytical transformation. It aims to explore how postmigration thinking is reshaping the narratives that can be written, spoken, or reconstructed from migration-related experiences.

A Duel Between Memories: (Special Session) at the Pacific Ancient and Modern Language Association (PAMLA) Conference 2025

Jewish Israelis and Palestinian Arabs have, through literature, songs, poetry, film, and other media, constructed two very different understandings of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict's history. This session invites papers that address any aspect of the role that literature and/or other media have played in creating, maintaining, and disseminating two distinct narratives. Proposals related to the conference theme of "Palimpsests: Memory and Oblivion" are preferred but not required.

Potential topics include:

“Violence is man recreating himself,” psychiatrist and critic Frantz Franon wrote in 1961 in The Wretched of the Earth as he witnessed postcolonial destruction in the wake of the Algerian War. The violence he underscored in his seminal work was not the centuries-long decimation of the land and culture of the oppressed, but rather the revolution of the colonized against hegemony to reclaim a national and racial identity.

The 4th International Conference on Understanding the Global South: Transition and Transmission on May 17, 2025

The term ‘Global South’ has become a new agency in the changing world today as it has been an evolving space for resistance, innovation and transformation. Although the very emergence of Global South has been often quoted as a reaction to the cultural and political imposition by ‘the dominant force’ that determines and regulates world politics and media discourses in many ways, Global South still seeks to assert its right of self-determination, economic cooperation and continual resistance to neo-colonialism.  The countries, communities and societies which are located within the broader spectrum of ‘Global South’ continue to contribute and attempt to shape and alter the public discourse on equity, sustainability and justice.

Octavia E. Butler Seminar at PAMLA 2025 (San Francisco, 11/20-23)

deadline for submissions: 
Thursday, May 15, 2025

We are seeking proposals for papers that explore Octavia E. Butler’s oeuvre for a special session at the PAMLA 2025 Conference in San Francisco. 

The session format is a seminar: Four to seven participants will share their paper ahead of time and then present a brief (five to seven minute) summary of their paper during the seminar, allowing time for an extended question and discussion period.

All submissions are welcome, but because Butler’s literature evidently lives in the past, present, and future—within the fictional worlds she builds and in our world as her readers—we are particularly interested in papers that engage with her work in relation to the 2025 PAMLA conference theme, “Palimpsests: Memory and Oblivion.”

In this special issue of the BFS (British Fantasy Society) Journal we take a hard look at War in Fantasy. Conflict, from skirmishes to mass battles, tavern brawls to planet-wide apocalypses, is a staple of Fantasy: The Battle of the Five Armies in The Hobbit, The Last Battle in Narnia, The War in Heaven by Charles Williams, and Lyra Belacqua’s fight against death and the consciousness-stifling strictures of the Magisterium, are a few examples.
