\u00a0Voices of Empowerment: French and Francophone Perspectives\u201d : WIF Call for papers<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
While written for the January 2021 inauguration of a US president, the incipit to Amanda\u00a0<\/span>Gorman\u2019s poem speaks to a larger global moment and ethos. Her lyrical call demands a\u00a0<\/span>cooperative and coalitional vision of humanity that looks to the past for reparative force and\u00a0<\/span>perspective; that acknowledges the challenges of the present without shuddering at their\u00a0<\/span>expansiveness; and that eyes, without naivet\u00e9 of the difficulties of achieving, a more just and\u00a0<\/span>inclusive future. At a time when violent and extremist, white-supremacist social movements,\u00a0<\/span>epidemiological crises, and fragile neoliberal economies challenge our individual and global\u00a0<\/span>understandings of our present and future, Gorman empowers us to focus on her voice.<\/span><\/div>\n
This WIF Call for papers centers the power of voice (understood broadly), indeed, the potential\u00a0<\/span>and impact of diverse and\/or multilingual perspectives to (re)think our pasts, (re)contextualize\u00a0<\/span>our presents, and (re)imagine our futures. We invite papers that celebrate memorial,\u00a0<\/span>remembrance, and testimony through the presentation and amplification of lost, erased,\u00a0<\/span>forgotten, or silenced (broadly conceived) voices throughout the Francophone world. We are\u00a0<\/span>especially interested in proposals that complicate and\/or dialogue notions of empowerment,\u00a0<\/span>aesthetics, memory, identity, bodies, language(s) and multilingualism, space, and borders.<\/span><\/div>\n
Please send an abstract of 200-350 words to both co-organizers<\/u><\/b> CJ Gomolka, DePauw University (cjgomolka@depauw.edu<\/a>) and E. Nicole Meyer, Augusta University (nimeyer@augusta.edu<\/a>) by March 1, 2021. WIF membership\u00a0is required.\u00a0\u00a0<\/div>\n
