Hey, all! Jeremy and I are chairing a panel at NEMLA this year. Sadly that means that we have filled our allowed number of Western students but if you know of anyone who might be interested in this CFP, send them our way. The deadline is the end of the month. Amidst the Ruins of Monuments: For centuries, the monument was central to our concept of the city. It was designed not merely to store communal memory but to make the city itself significant to its citizenry. With the rise of postmodern ‘post’-urbanity, however, the hermeneutics of the cityscape are no longer oriented toward monumental memories but toward patchwork histories stripped of context. This panel reconsiders the monument as a site of memory, examining the psychogeography of the city and the memorial’s changing status within the literature of the last century. https://nemla.org/convention/2015/cfp.html
