Current Keywords in Digital Literary Culture: “Slop” and “Nostalgia”
May 14th, 2026
Virtual Mini-Conference
DLC+ is excited to announce the second installment of its Current Keywords in Digital Literary Culture series, mini-conferences devoted to studying the most pressing and emerging concepts actively shaping digital literary culture.
We are excited to share with you all on behalf of the Conference Planning Committee for the University of Connecticut First-Year Writing Program that we are holding our 21st Annual Conference on the Teaching of Writing on Thursday, April 23, and Friday, April 24, 2026, on our campus in Storrs, CT. Our theme for the upcoming conference is: “Wicked Reading for Wicked Problems." As those who have collaborated with us in the past, we are once again inviting you to help us explore ways of approaching these 'wicked problems', such as those that evade consensus, offer multiple solutions, or may even resist resolution at all.
Concept Note
South Asia in Transition: A Literary Cartography
The Faerie Queene confronts its characters and readers alike with perceptual, cognitive, and physical struggles, and the reader’s passage through Spenser’s monumental work is as arduous and seemingly unending as the journeys and quests of its knights. The parallels between the characters’ trials and the readers’ embodied experience of the poem become more pronounced when The Faerie Queene is read out loud in its entirety. In 2019, the English department at Tampere University organised its first marathon reading of Spenser’s epic romance. The 2026 iteration will be the sixth marathon reading overall, and the second to be attached to an international symposium.

One response to the official archives’ violent erasure(s) of multiethnic subjects (and the associated literatures) in the US has been scholarly investment in digital archiving. Still, the digital archives (and/or the metadata culled from them) can–and often do–reify whiteness as normative and the marginalization of other Americans. MELUS invites papers that consider how digital archiving (re)shapes and/or supports lay communities that inform the literature of the marginalized. We are particularly interested in papers that address how practices of liberatory archiving resist objectification of multiethnic subjects and/or authors. Submit titled proposals (250 words), a brief CV, and AV needs.

Shakespeare’s works continue to inhabit what Stephen Greenblatt calls a “circulating energy system,” an ever-renewing sphere in which texts, performances, and interpretations travel across borders and epochs, sustaining the playwright’s presence in world culture. Tiffany Stern’s seminal research further reminds us that Shakespeare should be understood not as a fixed authorial entity but as an ongoing “process”—a dynamic constellation of scripts, fragmentary documents, performance traces, and editorial interventions that resist the notion of a stable text.

We are proposing a special session for the 2027 MLA Convention in Los Angeles on "Edited Collections: Tips and Tricks to Successful Publishing." This special session will be a roundtable featuring six presenters with the following format:
CALL FOR PAPERS
Papers are invited for the 18th and 19th issues of the peer-reviewed journal of bi-annual frequency: TRIVIUM A Multi disciplinary Journal of Humanities of Chandernagore College. The scope of the journal includes humanities and social sciences, commerce and management without mathematical application.
Guidelines for Submission
Children’s accounts of violence occupy a paradoxical space in public discourse: they are framed as both essential, unquestionable evidence, and, sometimes at the same time, as unreliable and prone to outside influence. Both framings rely on cultural constructions of the child’s “innocence.” This panel invites papers examining narratives of violence told by children, with a particular interest in experiences of institutional or state violence. How do these narratives complicate familiar tropes of children as voiceless victims in need of saving, or of certain topics as exclusively “adult” or “childish”? How do child narrators themselves exploit, resist, and play with or into these tropes?
MLA 2027 – Early American and Sexuality Studies Forum
“The Body Before Sex”
This collaborative panel by the Early American LLC and Sexuality Studies TC of the Modern Language Association aims to bring forward trans, environmental, and affect methodologies to consider the historically and culturally specific ways the body and sex intersect and depart. We are particularly interested in papers that stretch and transgress temporal and spatial domains, offering critical juxtapositions that reexamine the materialities and temporalities that make visible the body before it becomes associated with, and attached to, sex.
Global Music History and Northern Europe in the 18th and 19th Centuries
University of Copenhagen, 15–16 May 2026
Deadline for proposals: 15 Feb. 2026
We invite proposals for papers exploring global music histories connected to Northern Europe in the long 18th and 19thcenturies.
This session will be devoted to academic novels and academic administration. Panelists will consider what these novels (as well as television and films centered in academia) have to say about how higher education institutions are run, and what we might learn about how—and how not—to run them. Equally interested in literary studies (genre, form, representation) and Critical University Studies (history, politics, current events).
Stories and histories of power, 24-25 Septembre 2026.
Confirmed Keynote speaker : Peter Boxall
Based on the premise that any account is the result of a re-ordered selection in facts which is the mark of the power of the author and/or the institution or cultural group they stand for., this conference will examine factual and fictional narratives of power in the English-speaking world.
CFP for MLA 2027 (7-10 January, 2027), Los Angeles: Guaranteed ACIS Panel
Emancipations in Irish Literature and Culture
While Los Angeles has regularly been called the “City of Angels,” historian Kelly Lytle Hernández has argued that a more appropriate epithet would be the “City of Inmates,” as Los Angeles has historically been a site for innovations in imprisonment, surveilling, policing, and oppressing various communities for their race, ethnicity, class status, sexuality, and other out-group identifications. Literature and cinema have long been fertile sites for examining the ramifications of police- and prison-centric ideologies within American society and culture, particularly for a city that defined itself by cinema.
Fat has been ever-present in public imagination in various forms. Fat is perceived as a
public enemy and “demonized in medicine and public policy” (Blank 2020). It is “adored by chefs
and nutritional faddists, desired and abhorred when it comes to sex, and continually courted by a
multi-billion-dollar fitness and weight-loss industry” (Blank 2020). Yet, ‘Fat’ as an area of
academic research has remained remarkably underdeveloped in the Humanities and Social
Sciences domain. Only recently, it has emerged as a vibrant interdisciplinary field that interrogates

We invite additional submissions for Lands of the Lost, an edited collection that explores extinct animal parks real, imagined, unrealized, or yet to be. Our goal is to bring together multi-disciplinary perspectives to examine parks across time and space, across fact and fiction. We seek to understand how these projects, which reconstitute and enclose long-extinct life forms, intersect with histories of science, capitalism, imperialism, environmental change, and more.

The Margaret Atwood Society invites paper proposals for an online panel on testimony and resistance in Margaret Atwood’s work. In keeping with the MLA 2027 presidential theme, this panel welcomes papers that examine how Atwood’s narratives represent coercion and constraint while also tracing the risk and agency at stake in claiming liberatory space. Possible topics include but are not limited to:
• Testimony, witnessing, and the politics of voice
• Surveillance, secrecy, confession, and the archive
• Gendered power, reproductive politics, and bodily autonomy
• Critical reception and adaptation
The Margaret Atwood Society invites paper proposals for an online panel focusing on how Atwood’s writing engages religious and spiritual practices and the supernatural. We welcome proposals that consider how Atwood’s works mobilize the sacred, the ritual, the metaphysical, and/or the ghostly as vehicles for meaning-making, ethical reflection, and narrative strategy. Possible topics include but are not limited to:
· Religion as ideology
· Spirituality and folk belief outside institutional frameworks
· Myth, ritual, and cosmology
· Scriptural and prophetic discursive modes
· Haunting, spectrality, and divided subjectivity

In 1974, Françoise d’Eaubonne coined the term ecofeminism in Le féminisme ou la mort, foregrounding the intertwined domination of women and nature and calling for the liberation of both from systems of exploitation. Since its emergence, ecofeminism has inspired scholars and activists across disciplines and global contexts.
