Meeting Description:

A regional affiliate of the Modern Language Association (MLA), NeMLA provides
a forum for the dissemination of scholarship and the advancement of teaching
in modern languages and literatures. Every year, the NeMLA Convention affords
NeMLA’s principal opportunity to carry on a tradition of lively research and
pedagogical exchange. This four-day long event showcases different areas of
inquiry and includes regular panels, roundtables, seminars, interactive
workshops, special events, caucus meetings, literary readings, film
screenings, and guest speakers.  Building on a rich tradition of excellence,
the University at Buffalo supports the mission of NeMLA by serving as its
institutional and administrative host. In addition, each NeMLA Annual
Convention is sponsored by a local host institution. The 50th NeMLA Annual
Convention will take place March 21-24, 2019, in Washington, DC; it will be
hosted by Georgetown University.


Call for Papers:

In a society where urban life recreates otherness, dissolves geographical and
social borders, creates transnational spaces and crafts new identities, how do
Latinos and Hispanic immigrants of various Latin American regions living in
cities in the US (re)build the local and global from inter- and cross-cultural
perspectives: language, history, sense of belonging, conflict,
territorializing, mobility? This session intends to bring together research
from different theoretical and methodological perspectives in the humanities
and social sciences on Latino/Hispanic communities in US cities.  Submissions
comparing two (or more) Latino/Hispanic groups in urban settings in terms of
language, identity and space will be of special interest since this session
also seeks to broaden the discussion on the use of Spanish(es) in real and
fictionalized contexts from more than one perspective such as
sociolinguistics, literary theory, discourse analysis, cultural studies and
other related disciplines.  In particular, studies that challenge the
traditional categorizations of language, identity and/or space, and show their
relevance to community-building for US Latinos and Hispanics will be
considered for inclusion in the panel.
