Romanticism Session (PAMLA 2024)
This year's theme is “Translation in Action.” While most scholarship about translation deals with the interlingual, we welcome scholarship on the other areas discussed by Roman Jakobson such as intralingual and intersemiotic translation. We plan on celebrating the work of a wide range of scholars and translators such as Michael Cronin, Moira Inghilleri, and many others. We seek proposals dealing with translation as a diverse set of practices, a dynamic field of study, and a set of complex networks that affect our lives. Once again, we are open to a variety of interests, but for this year, we are especially interested in proposals on the theme of “Translation in Action.”
The Romanticism session seeks papers that examine any aspect of Romanticism, whether German, French, English, or in other languages (although we ask that papers and proposals be primarily in English). We are particularly interested in papers attuned to some facet of the conference theme, "Translation in Action.”
Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to:
· Translations of Romantic works, ideas, or concepts from one language /culture to another
· Romantic ecologies and human/nature entanglements
· The intersection of Romanticism and the environmental humanities
· Rethinking Romanticism via a political, Marxist, queer, or new-Historical lens
· Ruins and disasters
· Post-apocalyptic worlds
· Cosmic voyages and portrayals of the cosmos
· Global spaces and travel
Please submit a proposal directly at https://pamla.ballastacademic.com/ by April 30.
