<p><strong>ACLA CFP: “Travel and Intersections: The Curious Identities of Modern Chinese Poetry”</strong></p>
<p>Organizer: Liansu Meng, University of Connecticut<br />
Co-Organizer: Zhange Ni, Co-Organizer Institution: Virginia Tech University</p>
<p>Since James Clifford called attention to the close connection between modernism and transnational traveling more than two decades ago, studies of modernist literature have been increasingly marked by attempts at going beyond the national framework. Jahan Ramazani (2009), for instance, re-conceptualizes twentieth and twenty-first century poetry studies in English and argues for a transnational poetics. Michel Yeh (2008) points out that broad exposure to world literature during the poets’ studying abroad resulted in the creation of a new Chinese poetry that is international and hybrid in nature. This seminar attempts to further expand the perspectives on and bring fresh insights into the study of modern and contemporary Chinese poetry by focusing on the intersections of poetry and diverse factors such as transnational traveling, global feminism, international modernism, world literature, religion-making, ethnic identities, science and technology, translation, war, politics, race, gender and class. We welcome papers that critically explore such intersections from comparative and interdisciplinary perspectives. Topics include but not limited to travel and poetry, constructions of gender ideology, the problematization of gender, the destabilization of ethnic identities, the tension between literary genres, poetry’s participation in secularism and religion-making, the interrelation between poetry and technology, contested notions of the individual, the nation, the local and the global.</p>
<p>The ACLA conference will be held from March 26-29 in Seattle. To submit your paper, please follow the link to our seminar:</p>
