MLA 2017 Session Sponsored by the GLQ Caucus:

Pre-Stonewall/Post-Modern

Given recent debates on the nature and centrality of the Stonewall rebellion of 1969, we seek papers that examine cultural production that reaches forward or backward across this historic flashpoint for conjuring queer aesthetic and political imaginaries, from modernist…[Read more]

Sarah Werner deposited When Is A Source Not a Source? in the group LLC Shakespeare on MLA Commons 10 years ago

Nearly all scholars who work on medieval or early modern texts at some point work from digital facsimiles. There are advantages and disadvantages to such objects: what they might offer in terms of convenience and availability, they lack in material information. We can adjust the nature of what questions we ask of which object, consulting digital…[Read more]

Sarah Werner started the topic Shakespeare Forum sessions at MLA16 in the discussion Shakespeare on MLA Commons 10 years ago

The Shakespeare Forum has put together two sessions at this MLA: a Friday morning panel on “Scales of Time and Shakespeare” and a Saturday afternoon roundtable discussion of “Pedagogical Shakespeare: Text, Performance, and Digitization.” More details on both can be found at our new blog, https://shakespeare.mla.hcommons-staging.org/
Peter C. Herman deposited review: The Complete Works of John Milton, Volume III: The Shorter Poems in the group LLC 17th-Century English on MLA Commons 10 years, 1 month ago

This article is a review of the Haan-Lewalski OUP edition of Milton’s shorter. The book, I argue, is inexcusably difficult to use, and suggests that perhaps the time has come to replace long, very expensive tomes with digital editions.

Lisa Zunshine deposited Lisa Zunshine in Conversation with Ralph James Savarese in the group TC Disability Studies on MLA Commons 10 years, 2 months ago

Have cognitive scientists misread autism? What happens if, instead of simply accepting such research, literary critics turned to the actual prose and poetry written by autistic authors, such as Tito Mukhopadhyay and Donna Williams? Literary theory may never be the same once it comes to terms with neurodiversity.

Hugh M. Richmond deposited Personal Identity and Literary Personae: A Study in Historical Psychology in the group LLC Shakespeare on MLA Commons 10 years, 3 months ago

This comparative study in the evolution of subjectivity in European literature during the Renaissance ascribes it to the impact of the Reformation on the public representation of authorial identity, differing from Stephen Greenblatt’s later application of Foucault to six Tudor authors.
Nicole Seymour deposited Alligator Earrings and the Fish Hook in the Face: Tragicomedy, Transcorporeality, and Animal Drag in the group TC Sexuality Studies on MLA Commons 10 years, 3 months ago

This article considers the performances of “animal drag” that appear across the affiliated US media projects of Jackass (the television program and film franchise) and Wildboyz (the television program).

Hugh M. Richmond deposited Enjoying "King Lear" in the group LLC Shakespeare on MLA Commons 10 years, 3 months ago

“King Lear,” like all great tragedies, is surely designed to entertain and illuminate, not to depress an audience – as too many interpretations argue. Lear abdicates to ensure the future of Cordelia, from excessive love of virtue and justice, the violation of which initially drives him mad – with rage – but he progressively goes sane, learning t…[Read more]
