Ursula K. Le Guin (PAMLA, roundtable) — LAST CALL!

Friday, July 4, 2025 - 2:25pm
Pacific Ancient and Modern Language Association (PAMLA) (Annual Convention, 122nd, November 20-23, 2025, https://www.pamla.org)
deadline for submissions: 
Tuesday, July 15, 2025

PAMLA will meet during the fiftieth anniversary of Ursula Le Guin’s “The New Atlantis,” and of her rare achievement: winning the Hugo, Locus, and Nebula awards simultaneously, for The Dispossessed, which appeared the year before. It would seem an auspicious occasion to explore her retroactively provocative contributions to what has since come to be known as clifi, and her oeuvre more generally.

All disciplines and approaches welcome.

The conference is entirely in-person; no virtual participation is envisioned.

PAMLA will meet during the fortieth anniversary of Don DeLillo’s celebrated novel, White Noise (1985). His ninth of eighteen, it begins the two periods that make up the work for which he is best known—the first including Libra (1988), Mao II (1991), and Underworld (1997), the second The Body Artist (2001), Cosmopolis(2003), Falling Man (2007), Point Omega (2010), Zero K (2016), and The Silence (2020). Interestingly, this developing body of work is punctuated by Noah Baumbach’s recent film adaptation of White Noise (2022).
