Crisis of Representation: new solutions and critical voices in contemporary literature and language
Call for Papers: Margaret Fuller, Women in the 19C, and Resilience
Panel for the Thoreau Gathering in Concord, MA, July 10-14, 2024
Margaret Fuller both overcame odds and recognized the virtue of resilience in others. “Resilience” is the theme of this year’s Thoreau Gathering, and the organizers suggest four categories for considering this strength: ecological, cultural/political, personal/spiritual, and legacy. With some major differences from Thoreau, these same categories are helpful with Fuller, and in our annual contribution to the Gathering we invite presentations approaching her and likeminded women writers in her circles that also draw on one of these kinds of resilience.

The No Limit Reader draws inspiration from the entrepreneurial spirit of Percy Miller’s No Limit Records, but it also recognizes the cultural influence of Louisiana and its musical traditions that extend well beyond the borders of New Orleans. The collection also capitalizes on the rich cultural history of New Orleans and its recent musical resurgence as seen in Juvenile’s Tiny Desk concert for NPR, Master P’s performance at the BET Awards, and Beyoncé’s continued references to her Louisiana roots (i.e. “My Daddy Alabama, Mama Louisiana; You mix that Negro with that Creole, make a Texas bama” ).
In Postinternet: art after the internet, Marisa Olson defines the ‘postinternet’ variously as “a moment, a condition, a property, and a quality that transcends new media” (2017). Not simply a historical marker in relation to the advent of online networks, the ‘postinternet’ “encapsulates and transports network conditions and their critical awareness as such, even so far as to transcend the internet” (2017).

For forty years, NOFX’s brand of (depending who you ask) witty, offensive, humorous, juvenile, intelligent, existential, political, anti-PC, and/or philosophically probing punk has reared several generations in punk attitude and ethos, for better or worse (again, depending who you ask). The band got its start in the early-1980s Los Angeles punk scene, was among the pioneers of the melodic yet hardcore So-Cal punk style, rode the wave of 1990s punk popularity without signing to a major record label, took a political turn during the Bush era, and continued their punk provocations until retiring in 2023.
