But what, exactly, is an MLA forum supposed to do?
————————————————————–
MLA forums—formerly divisions and discussion groups—encompass the scholarly and professional concerns of the association. They promote scholarly and professional activities within their areas of concern. More specifically, we organize sessions at the MLA by generating CFP’s and, often in conjunction with other forums, host a cash bar receptions.
————————————————————–
Each forum is governed by an elected executive committee whose five members serve terms of five convention years. A convention year begins after the close of one convention and continues through the close of the next; it is named for the convention that concludes the year.
————————————————————–
You may reach any one of the executive committee members at any time via MLACommons.

    SPECIAL CALL FOR PAPERS FROM HISPANIC JOURNAL

    “Rebeldes históricos en el imaginario mexicano”

    Este número especial de Hispanic Journal se propone estudiar la figura del/la rebelde en el imaginario mexicano, un personaje histórico-cultural que ha existido desde tiempos pre-colombinos hasta la actualidad. Una de las premisas fundamentales de los ensayos seleccionados será la exploración crítica de cómo estos/estas rebeldes muestran su potencial transgresor al cuestionar estructuras de desigualdad—racial, étnica, socioeconómica, sexual—que persisten a través de la historia y la sociedad mexicanas. Se invitan colaboraciones que examinen por tanto esta figura desde una perspectiva multidisciplinaria en las que la literatura dialogue críticamente con otros campos como la historia, la economía, la antropología, el cine, y la fotografía, entre otros.

    Se invita a presentar propuestas de aproximadamente 500 palabras que expliquen la figura seleccionada y el enfoque crítico. Se debe incluir en esta propuesta sus textos primarios de análisis así como una bibliografía de fuentes secundarias esenciales al proyecto de investigación. Se puede entregar la propuesta en español o inglés.

    El plazo de entrega de dichas propuestas será DICIEMBRE 1, 2016.

    Aquellas propuestas aceptadas tendrán de plazo para entregar el artículo MAYO 1, 2017.

    “Historical Rebels in the Mexican Imaginary”

    This special issue of Hispanic Journal aims to study the figure of the rebel in the Mexican imaginary, an historical-cultural character that has existed since pre-Colombian times to the present day. One of the fundamental premises of the selected essays will be the critical exploration of how these rebels demonstrate their transgressive potential by questioning structures of inequality – racial, ethnic, socioeconomic, sexual – that have persisted throughout Mexican history and society. We invite contributions that examine this figure from a multidisciplinary perspective in which literature critically dialogues with other fields such as history, economics, anthropology, film, and photography, among others.

    We invite proposal submissions of approximately 500 words that explain the selected figure and critical focus. The proposal should include the primary texts under analysis as well as a bibliography of secondary sources that are essential to the investigative project. Submissions may be written in Spanish or English.

    The deadline to submit project proposals will be DECEMBER 1, 2016.

    Accepted proposals will have until MAY 1, 2017 to submit the complete article.

    The format of the article must conform to the general expectations of Hispanic Journal: http://www.chss.iup.edu/spanish/hj/
    Proposals can be sent to:

    Vicente Gomis-Izquierdo, editor (hispanic-journal@iup.edu)
    Amy Robinson, guest editor (arobins@bgsu.edu)
    Sofia Ruiz-Alfaro, guest editor (sofia.ruiz-alfaro@fandm.edu)
