Dear MCLC list members,
We invite submissions of paper abstracts for the panel titled “Not a Foreigner: Sinophone Immigrant Literature as a Diasporic Return“ to be held in-person at the AAS 2024 Annual Conference.
By addressing questions of culture, identities, and home, this seminar aims at filling an epistemological niche concerning the Sinophone world. The primary concern of this seminar is to examine the entangled Chineseness in Sinophone immigrant literature closely. Papers that explore a broad spectrum of genres and disciplines will be welcome. Potential topics and themes include (but are not limited to):
- The politics of cultural identity
- Diaspora and exile
- Literary cartographies
- Self-writing versus writing the self
Please send proposals no later than 26 July 2023 to Anqi Liu at aliu1@smcm.edu.
