Looking for papers in all fields of literature that address political

cultural contexts, in academic relationships, in avant-garde and
postmodern perspectives, and those with regional or international focuses.
But open to any work that might be considered political in a literary
context.
For those of you familiar with the sessions, I invite everyone to return,
and this year would encourage those who attend regularly to consider
putting together session proposals. Feel free to contact me if you have
any questions about the process.
The following areas are suggestions for paper or session proposals, but
topics are not limited to these areas: the political contexts for period
works, the politics of authorship, political aspects of literary
renderings, politics in specific literary works, the politics of specific
authors, new directions in Critical Theory (for instance, approaches
discussing Feminism, post-Feminism, Marxism, post-Marxism, new
historicism, psychoanalytic perspectives, deconstruction, etc.), ethnicity
in literature; representation of political figures and topics in
literature; hidden political agendas; political assumptions of a work or
an oeuvre or literary movement; political satire; the rhetoric of
revolution; the revolutionary as heroine or hero; political ideology;
political climate of a period as reflected in its literature; the politics
of war and peace in literature; character choice as political choice;
apolitical evasions; political vs. aesthetic approaches; regionalism; the
political assumptions of readers, etc. etc. etc.
