Call For Papers
Williams Wells Brown: A Man of Letters
Expanding on the NeMLA’s theme of (R)evolution, this panel seeks proposals that examine the role that women of color authors and artists have played (throughout the centuries) in helping to change and revolutionize literature by and about, literary representations of, and literary studies focused on women of color in the United States. It seeks work that examines how women of color have addressed and used their intersectional identities to change the American literary landscape, challenge the American literary canon, and changed how they and their communities have been viewed in the United States. Proposals can also include how women of color have challenged issues within their own communities and used a multiethnic approach to help literature and liter
The twentieth anniversary of Ridley Scott’s Gladiator (2000) was an important moment in film history, for it not only marked a great film and work of art, but it also reminded audiences how peplum and historical epics still mattered. The edited collection “A Hero Will Endure”: Essays at the Twentieth Anniversary of ‘Gladiator’ (2023) provided insights on the film two decades after its release.
Yet now there is a sequel with a November 2024 release. This CFP therefore serves to build on the work done in the 2023 essays and provide a further avenue of exploration for connections between the two films as well as innovative readings of Gladiator 2 on its own.
Topics include, but are not limited to:

Osmosis 2024: Sustainability and the 5Ps for a Comprehensive Future
The continuation of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, political repressions, crackdowns on LGBTQ+, women’s, ethnic and religious communities’ rights, environmental crises, and the ramifications of colonial legacies have marked the past several years in the region of Central and Eastern Europe, Russia, Central Asia, and the Caucasus. While indispensable academic research is being carried out to investigate various forms of political, social, cultural, and economic oppression and violence, it is crucial to highlight positive alternatives nurtured in these hostile contexts.
Many of the theoretical fundamentals developed for literary and cultural studies throughout the twentieth century have become less efficacious. In recent decades, scholars have, indeed, investigated the transformations of storytelling and cultural consumption in the digital age. However, this issue looks to further explore the future of literary and cultural studies from a world-systems perspective with a focus on the alterations of novelistic narratives in the larger context of the supplanting of liberal, humanistic, sense-making mechanisms by computational regimes of meaning.
