The LUSOHISPANOPHONE CAUCUS of the African Literature Association (LHCALA) invites proposals for the ALA conference in 2024, following the general theme of the conference as it is represented in LusoHispanophone literary and cultural texts produced by, or related to, African diaspora subjects.
University of Louisville, KY, USA -- May 23-25, 2024
Drawing its inspiration from Edward Said’s discussion of the ways in which texts become ‘worldly’ through a series of filiations and affiliations, the ALA invites papers and panels that address such relations in all their forms. What are the filial structures that a text brings to its readers? What kind of affiliative readings might a critic bring to the text to disrupt the filial ties? What are the stakes in engaging in the traffic between filiative and affiliative readings? Beyond considerations of (a)ffiliated critical practice, how do literary and other cultural texts represent filiations and affiliations and in what ways do they constitute such relations? How do the practices of writing, reciting and performing in a variety of expressive forms help consolidate or disrupt filiative or affiliative ties? We invite papers and panels on all aspects of social relationships – filial and affilial as they manifest themselves in African literary and cultural texts.
Suggested topics include:
-
Literary Affiliations: Pan Africanism and Negritude Movements
-
Autobiography as Affiliative Literary Form
-
