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 49th NeMLA Annual
Convention will take place April 12-15, 2018, in Pittsburgh, PA; it will be
hosted by the University of Pittsburgh.


Call for Papers: 

The notion of “community” sometimes centers unquestioningly on whatever it is
shared by a given group of people without pausing to study the emergence of
the uncommon, the disparate or the disjointed among its members. Thus, certain
practices underlying distinctiveness, differentiation, and separation are
manifested in ways that may become as equally meaningful to them as their
common language, cultural, political, religious, material, and any other
structures, values, and characteristics representing them and their community.
The session seeks to bring together submissions that examine how language,
real and imagined spaces, and mobility contribute to the formation of
“uncommon communities,'' and how these are represented and expressed
individually and communally in language use, works of fiction, popular
culture, and ethnography. Papers that examine the significance of the various
usages of language, space and mobility, and their crisscrossing in influencing
the “uncommon community” from more than one perspective such as
sociolinguistics, literary theory, cultural geography, discourse analysis, and
other related disciplines will be considered for inclusion in the panel.

Please submit a 300-word abstract to Gerardo Augusto Lorenzino through the
NeMLA website by September 30, 2017.
