CfP: Panel on The Secular and the Literary

In March 2021, the Northeast Modern Language Associaton will host their 52nd annual convention. There will be a panel on The Secular and the Literary: Re-thinking Analysis and Interpretation in Light of Post-Secularism. This panel seeks proposals that investigate how post-secular theory - a mutually constitutive view of the dialectic of the sacred and the secular - functions in relation to narrative and fiction.

Deadline: 30 September
