MCLC LIST
RMMLA Asian Lit and Film–cfp
We welcome paper proposals exploring the broad theme of “Borders, Boundaries, Barriers” in Asian comparative literature and film at the Rocky Mountain MLA (RMMLA). Papers might, for example, consider how national borders and cultural boundaries are circumscribed, maintained, crossed, modified, moved, or eliminated as well as their implications for identity, representation, conflict, and cooperation. Barriers might be considered in either a literal or figurative sense. Topics may include, but are not limited to
Political and familial division
Migration, travel, and the expatriate experience
Postcolonial and diasporic identity
Border studies
Intercultural communication and conflict
Language, dialect, and accent
Technological limitations or barriers
Religious, paranormal and supernatural boundaries
PTSD and other traumatic experiences
Regionalism, pluralism, and globalism
Critical analysis of racial, ethnic, class, gender, and sexual boundaries
Please submit an abstract of no more than 250 words along with a short biography to blint at mansfield.edu and tongluli at iastate.edu by March 1, 2017. Notice of acceptance or rejection will be sent out no later than March 30, 2017.
