Teaching Protest, Teaching as Protest: Pedagogies and Narratives in Contentious Times
Dear Colleagues,
Please circulate the following CFP for NeMLA 2027, particularly among colleagues working in the fields of posthumanism, ecocriticism, the Anthropocene, or New Materialism. Thank you and have a great semester!
----------------------------------
NeMla session: Ecologies of the Human and Nonhuman in Italian Literature
Three decades on, the founding categories of trauma theory: belatedness, aporia, the unspeakable, the event that cannot be claimed, remain largely those of a single archive: European, modernist, post-Holocaust. Stef Craps’s decolonising critique (2010; 2013; 2014) has exposed the field’s marginalisation of non-Western suffering, its universalisation of a Euro-American psycho-diagnostic invention, its prescription of fragmentary modernist techniques as its defining form, and its neglect of the connections between metropolitan and other histories of violence. Yet that critique has been prosecuted largely through postcolonial and Anglophone Global South materials.
We seek submissions on unruly (re)readings of the medieval that drive a wedge into Derrida's
conception of differánce between the signifier and signified of the sign. Various modern media
types, including but not limited to literature, film, television, animation, TTRPGs, video game RPGS,
comics and graphic novels, podcasts, etc., offer an array of opportunities for exploring what we
make of the "medieval" and why. We are interested in work that engages more than
traditional examples of medievalism, especially that which might speak for or represent
perspectives traditionally deemed "unruly." Under-represented paradigms encouraged!

Queering the Settler Colony: Comparative Perspectives on Canadian and Australian LiteratureAbstract
The comparative study of Canadian and Australian literature has long demonstrated the value of reading these two settler-colonial traditions alongside one another. Building on the pioneering comparative work of Sneja Gunew, this seminar seeks to extend this dialogue by foregrounding queer identities, sexualities, and non-normative forms of belonging as central categories of comparative inquiry.
