**DEADLINE EXTENDED** Many Tongues, One Mouth – the Expansive Challenge Faced by Multilingual Poets @ NeMLA 2025

updated: 
Tuesday, October 1, 2024 - 3:22pm
Rachel Martin (NeMLA Session)
deadline for submissions: 
Tuesday, October 15, 2024

 Multilingual poets write at the intersection of language, identity, and cross-cultural communication. Not only does the work of multilingual poets naturally create a space for innovation, but it also often serves as a broader commentary on the interplay between language and power. Every multilingual poet combines, leverages, or silences pieces of their complex identities, negotiating deeply personal nuances as well as socially constructed codes. Multilingual poets may choose to employ self-translation or multiple languages within a single poem, they may write separate works in different languages, or they may confine their work to a single language.

In the wake of neoliberalism, academia is increasingly being turned into a market imperative, marked by the rising global popularity of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) courses and the concomitant reduction in funding for humanities departments. This situation presents a crisis for the Humanities and the values and forms of knowledge it stands for. This crisis is manifesting itself in ways such as the persistent gap among disciplines as well as between scholarship and lived experiences. The breakdown of disciplinary boundaries and the consequent intermingling of Humanities and Sciences has led to the rise of new knowledge systems.

In 2008, the International Federation of Film Archives (FIAF) released its 70th anniversary manifesto reaffirming film’s status as the “optimal archival storage” of the moving image. “Don’t throw film away!” they urged, for unlike its digital successors, film elements tangibly embody traces of their own material history alongside a bygone cultural heritage. “No matter what technologies may emerge,” they write, existing film elements “connect us to the certainties of the past.”
