What happens when an author, playwright, or filmmaker choses to embed a translation in a fictional setting? This panel will consider the many forms of fictional, imaginary, and somewhat deceitful translations - from pseudotranslation (a text written as if it had been translated from a foreign language, even though no foreign language original exists) to self-translation (when an author composes a text in one language and translates it into another) - to interrogate the act of translation as both a motor and an obstacle in a work of fiction.

Steeped in the wide-flung diaspora of the Gothic mode, the Southern Gothic is one of the most prominent ways the South is represented in media and culture. Represented in the works of writers as varied as Carson McCullers, Flannery O’Connor, and William Faulkner to Cormac McCarthy, Cherie Priest, and Jesmyn Ward, whether categorized as a form, a style, or a genre, the Southern Gothic is bound up with the specificity of regional cultural anxieties about race, class, gender, sexuality, history, and geographic identity itself. From its most stereotypical depictions to more nuanced, complex interpretations, the Southern Gothic shapes the wider perception of regional identities in ways that invite our contemporary scholarly engagement.
