MLA 2026, Toronto, Prose and poetics of aging in migration literature

I would like to organize a panel on aging in migration literature to provide a forum where participants can discuss current trends in and concerns about the representation of aging and older persons across various genres of migration writing as well as think about future possibilities. I am particularly interested in aesthetic representations of aging in irregular migration, asylum, and refugee narratives in addition to the portrayals of aging parents and relatives who are impacted by younger generations’ migration.

This interdisciplinary panel at the RMMLA 2025 seeks to examine the complex intersections of colonial power, medical practice, and literary representation and welcomes proposals of 250 words on topics that address the following questions. How does literature engage with colonial medical interventions, their successes, failures, and lasting impacts on colonized populations? What does medical fiction and film tell us about the tension between Indigenous healing practices and Western medicine, the role of medical “experimentation” in colonial contexts, and the literary afterlives of colonial medical disasters?

Faust, a Myth of Modernity

Myth is a living entity that develops and grows by embracing interpretations, suggestions, and reinterpretations, in what Hans Blumenberg calls a true epigenesis. The multiple forms of narrative, typical of modernity, feed on myth and continuously regenerate it, rewriting it from various perspectives—religious, social, aesthetic, political, or pop—according to the times, up to the post-modern.

Once again we invite you to join us in reflection on the contemporary literary culture. We understand it as an integral part of the global socio-cultural communication with its characteristic infrastructure and a dynamic system of relations between authors and audiences (to refer once more to the foundational principles of Stefan Żółkiewski and the complementary suggestions by Janusz Sławiński1) This time, we are interested in the question of collaboration, cooperation and participation in texts and discourses functioning in contemporary literary culture.

Our culture is undoubtedly influenced by various forms of games, especially video games. These relatively new forms of expression quickly became a driving force of culture. All the generations have become indulged in the pleasure and escapism of games. Nowadays, most of us relax by playing on tabletop systems, devices, or by using cards or miniatures.
