CALL FOR PAPER
PERFORMANCE STUDIES
This area of the Northeast Popular Culture Association encourages paper submissions that explore the relation of science and technology to popular culture and American culture, with science and technology broadly defined. We are particularly interested in putting science, technology, culture, and the humanities in conversation with one another. How are science and technology represented in popular culture? How do we use popular culture to understand science and technology? And how do we use science and technology to understand narratives, art, and culture?
This session considers the place of literary history in English curricula as departments face staffing, funding, and enrollment challenges, asking whether we should continue to teach literary history and, if so, how. The shrinking pains many departments are experiencing, caused by faculty losses and enrollment declines, are making it difficult for them to retain curricular elements that center literary history, such as historical survey courses and period distribution requirements. Alongside these changes are trends in literary study that deemphasize attention to literary history in favor of other modes and objects of study. Possible speaker topics:
--whither literary history

Critical Perspectives on the Intersection of Breast Cancer and Academic Identity Abstract Proposal
“Insiders and Outsiders”
The International Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies invites early-career scholars active in eighteenth-century studies to apply to take part in the ISECS ECS seminar, to be held over one week in central Barcelona. The Seminar, which is held yearly, is known for its role in fostering and consolidating scholarly vocations in eighteenth-century studies, as well as for attracting participants from all around the world. The 2024 seminar, to be chaired jointly by Dr John Stone (Universitat de Barcelona) and Prof Fernando Durán (Universidad de Cádiz), will be sponsored by the Spanish association for eighteenth-century specialists, the Sociedad Española de Estudios del Siglo XVIII.
During the Covid-19 pandemic, responses to the injunction to ‘wear a mask’ reflected tensions over attitudes towards individual freedoms, or lack of, in American culture. For some, masks limited the spread of the virus. They protected the individual and (or over?) others. For some, masks were ineffective medically, and / or an intolerable intrusion into individual rights. Wearing a mask might signify that an individual took the virus seriously and heeded the state (via medical advice, scientific expertise and laws); refusing to wear one might indicate the opposite. Paradoxically, but no less powerfully, for some mask wearing itself presented unexpected freedoms; from the pressure to engage in social norms, to smile for strangers.
The ASAP conference theme “Not a Luxury,” (10/17-10/19 in New York City) borrows Audre Lorde’s assertion that in times of crisis, poetry and creative expression are not extraneous to survive but necessities. Known for her community building and work with Kitchen Table Press, Lorde positioned her sense of self as developing from and within her social and artistic circles. This panel asks what contemporary forms of community building--for example: edited collections, across-campus coalitions, unions, friend groups—are necessary for Black feminist survival and thriving in precarious times.

This panel aims to address the question of the representation of disability in world cinema (fiction and documentary), while moving away from a purely historical approach that would primarily focus on the evolution of representation of disability to consider how Disability Studies have enabled us to reconsider the cinematic representations of disability. This panel hinges on the assumption that Disability Studies have given rise to a series of critical and theoretical tools, as well as to a renewed perception of disability that no longer sees it as a hindrance, but rather as a driving force for creation.

Deborah E. McDowell’s 1993 essay, “In the First Place: Making Frederick Douglass and the Afro-American Narrative Tradition,” issues a call to “start putting an end to beginnings even those that would put woman in the first place” or a “reformulation or refocusing of genealogy as a concept of analysis” (56-7). This roundtable seeks papers that complicate how and in which ways we make visible the roots, sites, and lineages of Black women’s literary and historical production from the eighteenth century forward. Papers can interrogate visibility as a practice or theory of recovery, recentering, and resituating that we also must remain critical of even when establishing “firsts” or origins of Black women’s historical and literary traditions.

The cinematic horror genre depends on a system of oppression, domination, and subordination. Although horror is deeply embedded within the politics of representation and social subjugation, we recognize an explicit lack within its scholarship (across disciplines) regarding class and historical materialism. This collected volume, which has emerged after years of collaboration and collective conversations, wishes to remedy this absence: we call for a comprehensive examination of horror as it intersects socio-economic class issues, brutal capitalism, cultural systems of excess, and rugged individualism.
Across English and related fields, graduate students are developing engaging, inventive, and transformative projects that envision their disciplines in new and exciting ways. In an effort to highlight this “next-gen scholarship,” this session will feature eight (8) 5-minute lightning round presentations to offer a snapshot of where the field is headed. (Please visit the MLA website for more information on innovative sessions at the MLA annual convention.)
Examples include, but are not limited to:
Following methodological interventions in ecocriticism's nostalgic appeals to "nature," this session invites formal analyses and other close readings of texts that gesture toward, illuminate, or articulate liberatory socio-environmental futures. Any period, genre, language.
Please send 250-word abstracts to Sarah-Nelle Jackson, sarah-nelle.jackson@ubc.ca, by March 22, 2024. Graduate students and early-career scholars are encouraged to apply.
