"I
like so much the proud instinct which makes a living
creature distinguish itself from its background.
I hate the rabbity khaki protection-colouration.
A black-and-white peasant on his pony, only a dot in
the distance beyond the foliage, still flashes and
dominates the landscape. Ha-ha! proud mankind!
There you ride!" (DHL, SS 85-6).

MLA
January 3-6, 2013 in Boston
President-Elect/Program Chair Holly Laird (
holly-laird@utulsa.edu ) has submitted the program for
our session at MLA:
1. Beyond Fiction: Other Genres in D. H.
Lawrence's Works
This panel invites papers on genre issues in D. H.
Lawrence's works. How do different genres interact across
his career? What pressure do Lawrence's poems, nonfiction,
and plays put on conventional generic forms? 250-word
abstracts or 15-minute papers; and bio by 10 March 2012;
holly-laird@utulsa.edu
2. Modernism and D. H. Lawrence
How are modernist studies expanding the boundaries of the
ways we approach Lawrence. E.g., such expansions might
juxtapose Lawrence with other writers, align him with the
sciences of the time, reconsider his contributions to
twentieth-century thought. 250-word abstracts or 15-minute
papers; and bio by 10 March 2012;
holly-laird@utulsa.edu
Deadline: March 10, 2012

“Joyce and Lawrence”
Call
for Papers for a joint International James Joyce Foundation
and the D.H. Lawrence Society of North America panel for the
2013 MLA in Boston.
While Joyce and Lawrence are generally considered the
bookends of modernism, this panel seeks papers addressing
areas of congruence between the two writers. Proposals are
encouraged to look beyond the more traditionally observed
differences between these two modernist writers and draw on
new parallels between their works, aesthetics, and lives.
Topics may include, but are not limited to the following:
portrayal of educational
institutions;
the fringes of taboo;
animal imagery;
the Everyman;
articulations of social sterility;
language;
gender;
sexuality;
politics;
and the environment.
Deadline is March 3, 2012. Please send 250
word abstracts or 15 minute papers to BOTH:
anne.fogarty@ucd.ie
and
holly-laird@utulsa.edu.
