Asian Comparative Literature and Film
2019 RMMLA (Rocky Mountain Modern Language Association) Annual Convention
Hotel Paso del Norte, El Paso, Texas
October 10-12, 2019
We welcome paper proposals exploring the broad theme of “Memory, Margins, and Motion.” Papers might, for example, consider how works of literature and/or film address historical, cultural, or personal memory. Alternatively, papers might examine movement across or between national and/or cultural borders as well as genres. We encourage contributions from a wide variety of fields on topics that may include but are not limited to the following:
- Transculturation, reconstruction, and/or preservation of history and memory
- Intra-Asian or East-West intercultural communication, conflict, encounters, translation, and/or adaptation
- Interdisciplinary connections between literature, film, performance, and/or related genres
- Social, personal, or collective memory related to activism (for example, climate change)
- Memory and trauma
- Intertextuality within and beyond Asia
- Border studies, esp. cultural collaborations investigating or traversingnational boundaries
- Power dynamics between Asian texts and global cultural discourses, including regionalism, pluralism, and globalism
- Political and familial memory and/or migration
- Language, dialect, and accent
- Digital humanities, media, and technology
- Critical analysis of postcolonial and diasporic identity, race, class, gender, sexuality, disability, and/or ecocriticism
Please send an abstract of no more than 250 words along with a short biography to both xiaoxue@ucsb.edu and blint@mansfield.edu by March 15, 2019. Notice of acceptance or rejection will be sent out in April.
