Marianne Hirsch, MLA president in
2013, has chosen Vulnerable Times as the presidential theme of the 2014
convention. Vulnerable Times addresses the vulnerability of life, the planet,
and our disciplines, as well as the acts of imagination and forms of resistance
that promote social change—in our time and throughout history. Please consider
this theme an invitation to think about how the arts and the humanities (and
the textual, historical, theoretical, and activist work that we do in the
framework of the MLA) can contribute to social, political, and scientific
analyses of the vulnerabilities we share collectively and those that are
socially imposed on particular individuals and groups. Members are encouraged
to submit forum proposals, roundtables, division and discussion group programs,
and special sessions that engage with this theme. To solicit papers for a
session on the presidential theme, you may post a call for papers by 21 February. Session
proposal forms for the 2014 convention will be available online by early March.

Do you want to organize a session
for the 2014 MLA Annual Convention in Chicago? The MLA is accepting calls for
papers until 21 February 2013. To submit a call, please click here. As
the session organizer, you are responsible for acknowledging all submissions
and inquiries regarding your call for papers. We recommend posting a submission
deadline of not later than 15 March. Please note: a call for papers is not
a session proposal but a way to solicit paper submissions for creating a
session proposal. Proposal forms for the 2014 convention will be available at
www.mla.org/ssp_menu by early March. Completed proposal forms must be submitted
by 1 April 2013.
You may also search
existing calls for papers or browse a list of calls for each session type.
Note that all participants in convention sessions must be MLA members by 7
April 2013, and members should review other guidelines
for the MLA convention before responding to calls for papers.
