“‘Literary Offenses’ and Other Contentious Matter”

A one-day conference on Literary Controversy

in Great Britain and the United States (1800-1900)

Centre Interlangues : Texte, Image, Langages

The 115th annual conference of the Pacific Ancient & Modern Languages Association (PAMLA) will be held at the lovely Chaminade University of Honolulu (with the official conference hotel being the Ala Moana) from Friday, November 10, to Sunday, November 12.

The Romanticism panel is seeking papers on any aspect of Romanticism, but we are particularly interested in papers that will address the conference theme "The Sense of Sight: Visuality, Visibility, and Ways of Seeing." As part of the material culture in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, writers have attempted to reify themselves through textual or visual representations (e.g., letters, fiction, verse, and fine art through portraiture, etc.). Paper proposals that delve into the value of such cultural constructions in the context of the Romantic era and consider the effect of the writer's self-fashioning and self-projecting representations are especially welcome. 

The 2017 PAMLA Conference is being held over the November 10-12 weekend at the lovely Chaminade University of Honolulu, with complimentary bus transportation to and from our official PAMLA Conference hotel, the Ala Moana Resort: http://pamla.org/2017

Our CFP list of over 120 approved sessions includes many sessions on British Literature and Culture, from a number of Medieval sessions to sessions on contemporary British film and literature, with everything in betweenll. Our online paper proposal system are now available: http://pamla.org/2017/topic-areas
