MLA 2027: Revoicing Non-Humans through Ecological Translation

updated: 
Wednesday, March 18, 2026 - 4:44pm
MLA 2027 Convention
deadline for submissions: 
Sunday, March 29, 2026

In recent years, critiques of human exceptionalism and extractivism have prompted scholars to reconsider the role of translation as a communicative practice capable of engaging with nonhuman voices. Dominant strands of Western thought, from Descartes to Heidegger, have long reinforced the perceived superiority of humans over other forms of life and expression. Challenging this hierarchy requires not only rethinking human–nonhuman relations but also reconsidering how communication itself is understood within translation studies.

MLA 2027 Los Angeles (January 7-10)
deadline for submissions: 
Wednesday, April 1, 2026

Please consider submitting a short (250 word) proposal for this guaranteed panel sponsored by the Robert Graves Society.

In “Narrating the Past,” British historian Alun Munslow defines “history as a ‘literature of fact’” (23), “an aesthetic undertaking” (17), and a “storied form of knowledge” (17). Continuing the conversations related to “Times and Places,” to be held at the 17th International Robert Graves Conference in Palma, Mallorca, Spain (July 2026), this panel deliberates Graves’s and his literary associates’ historical, geographic, and historiographic legacies.

JSR: Journal for the Study of Radicalism—an academic journal published by Michigan State University Press—announces a call for articles and book reviews.JSR seeks articles on political and religious forms of radicalism across the political spectrum.

We are delighted to invite chapter proposals for our upcoming edited volume:
Sociolinguistics of Emojis: Implications for Customer Psychology and Behavior
(Under consideration with Springer, Edward Elgar, and Bentham Science)

This book explores how emojis function as sociolinguistic tools in digital communication—shaping tone, politeness, stance, and perception across platforms like customer service chat, CRM, B2B messaging, influencer ecosystems, and D2C apps. We are especially interested in work that links language use to outcomes such as trust, persuasion, complaint resolution, and user experience.
