Considering UCLA’s strong commitment to the humanities, especially to languages and literatures, I found the suggestion to be an eminently sensible one. When I shared the idea with my colleagues at UCLA, I was gratiied to learn I had their unanimous support in taking on the complex and demanding work involved in planning a major conference for over 2,000 participants. For his part, the UCLA Dean of Humanities, Professor David Schaberg, not only endorsed the idea of hosting the conference, but also ofered generous inancial support. So, too, did the UCLA Department of English, for which we are grateful. he dedication demonstrated by my colleagues in agreeing to collaborate in planning the conference is commendable but hardly exceptional in the ield of comparative literature, where faculty are well-aware of the practical labor entailed in realizing our collective commitment to supporting genuinely interdisciplinary and transnational scholarship and pedagogy. Here at UCLA, colleagues from across the literature departments have earned renown for pioneering work that has deined new literary paradigms and fostered new directions for explorations in literary studies in such areas as the relationship between translation and transnationalism, literary theory and emerging media, the future of national literatures in an era of globalization, gender and ethnic formations across time, East-West cultural encounters, human rights and global censorship, postcolonial and diaspora studies, environmental humanities, medical humanities, and experimental approaches to literature and culture. his year at UCLA, an intellectually rich program featuring 217 streams, as well as several pre-conference and non-stream events, awaits you. here will be the Presidential Address by Emily Apter and the Awards Ceremony to recognize outstanding contributions. Our Plenary Session will feature distinguished Professor Josephina Saldana-Portillo and LAXART Executive Director Hamza Walker. In addition, there will be poetry readings by Jennifer Scappettone and Keston Sutherland, and a special session on “Translators and Authors in Dialogue” with Suzanne Jill Levine, Eduardo Lalo, Carlos Rojas, and Yan Lianke. And, for your listening pleasure, the renowned KCRW DJ Raul Campos will spin at the welcoming reception. 4 ACLA 2018 he daunting task of organizing this conference simply would have not been possible without the generous eforts of a committed group of UCLA faculty, staf, and graduate students. Members of the faculty organizing committee deserve our special thanks: Stephanie Bosch Santana, Efrain Kristal, Tamara Levitz, David MacFadyen, and Anahid Nersessian. We are especially fortunate to have had the assistance of an absolutely stellar support staf — Janet Bishop, Steven Schweitzer, Mike Lambert, Barbara Van Nostrand, Jessika Herrera, Diane Ohkawahira, Feng Huang, Bronson Tran, Leo Kuo, and Adrian Lozano have been truly tireless in their eforts to ensure that the conference is a rewarding and enjoyable experience for all who attend. I sincerely hope you enjoy the conference and the rich cultural life of Los Angeles during your stay. Ali Behdad John Charles Hillis Professor of Literature Chair of the Organizing Committee ACLA 2018 5 A CL A 2018 WELCOME TO LOS ANGELES AND TO UCLA Welcome to Los Angeles and to UCLA. I am proud that the Division of Humanities has been able to cosponsor this year’s gathering, particularly because these are years of change and progress in the Division. We are developing initiatives that bring together colleagues from across the disciplines in the Humanities and beyond with our curriculum and pedagogical approaches. Faculty across the division at UCLA are developing and growing academic programs in Digital Humanities, Environmental Humanities, Urban Humanities, Medical Humanities and transcultural studies. Many of these topics are the focus of the streams that our esteemed colleagues at this ACLA annual meeting will be discussing. Our Mellon funded Excellence in Pedagogy and Innovative classrooms (EPIC) program will dedicate space to advancing undergraduate teaching in the Humanities in new and exciting pathways over the next ive years. As you relect on the future of the discipline of Comparative Literature, I hope you consider how undergraduate teaching will lay the foundation for scholarship in the ield going forward. he way that Comparative Literature scholars engage critically with diference is what we at UCLA hope to emulate as we forge pathways into these new and exciting ields. he work of Comparative Literature is vital in making the work of humanists relevant to the changing 21st century, and I am honored that UCLA has the opportunity to host such a prestigious gathering of scholars. We believe bringing scholars from the varied humanistic ields to our campus falls directly in line with our division’s overall mission in promoting the humanities and its impact on our students and the surrounding world. We are delighted to entertain thinkers, leaders, and creators who have been at the front lines of this efort. I wish you a most productive conference. Very best, David Schaberg Professor and Dean of Humanities UCLA College of Letters and Science 6 ACLA 2018 GENERAL INFORMATION DICKSON COURT SOUTH Registration will be open on hursday, March 29th at 1:30 p.m.; Friday, March 30th at 7:30 a.m.; and Saturday, March 31st at 7:30 a.m. he Registration table will be located in Dickson Court South near the Schoenberg Music Building each day of the conference.

Graduate Caucus Lunch Innovations in Teaching: Decentering the Syllabus Curricula oten rely on a set of canonical names that, more oten than not, speak from positions of power by virtue of location, race, and gender. his panel will address the problem of diversity and discuss how we design courses that not only include other voices, but also challenge the foundations of knowledge production both in and outside of the classroom. Our aim is twofold: irst, to concentrate on how teachers can restructure curricula for greater, or more critical, diversity; and second, to consider pedagogical innovations that allow students greater input in their own learning processes. We will also extend a critical lens to the issue of “diversity,” questioning its theory and practice, and the many forms diversity can take in the classroom. his panel may be of special interest to those working on “statements of teaching philosophy” or “diversity statements,” now a commonplace requirement of academic job applications. hose preparing for the academic job market are welcome to join. 16 ACLA 2018 Panelists: Lucy Alford, Collegiate Assistant Professor in the Humanities, University of Chicago Emily Apter, Professor of French and Comparative Literature, NYU Erin Brown, Graduate Student Career Services, UCLA Christopher Mott, Sr. Continuing Lecturer in English, UCLA Date: Time: Location: 8.

ACLA Pre-Conference Workshop: Publishing Your First Book Organized by the ACLA Publications Committee, this workshop focuses on publishing a scholarly monograph for the irst time. Topics include the diference between a dissertation and a book, presentations by authors and editors of university presses focusing on preparing for a meeting with an editor, imagining appropriate audiences, writing a book proposal, and the speciic challenges and possibilities for publishing research that is multilingual and comparative.

Pre-registration is not required for this workshop, and admission is based on room capacity. Questions may be addressed to the Chair of the Publications Committee, Professor Yogita Goyal at: ygoyal@humnet.ucla.edu. Location: Humanities 193 3. Pre-Conference Workshop: Academic Communities beyond Campus: Collaborating, Networking, Connecting Organized by the ACLA Graduate Student Board Members Adhira Mangalagiri and Emily Sibley. As comparatists who work across borders, both geographic and disciplinary, collaboration is key to our work. Yet while we oten engage with a wide circle of interlocutors conceptually and theoretically, the practice of academic work can occur in isolated spaces and in individualistic forms. Collaboration proves particularly challenging for those comparatists at the beginning of their careers, when locating a network of scholarly connections and building a broader community may occur slowly. his is especially true for those not located in major metropolitan areas that can facilitate opportunities outside an individual campus and ofer a wider pool of resources. his workshop explores the opportunities and challenges of collaborating with others in our ields, and both within and beyond the conference space. We will address the diiculties that comparatists may experience in building a network, ofer strategies for connecting outside of one’s own department, and discuss the beneits of pursuing collaborative projects.

As comparatists who work across borders, both geographic and disciplinary, collaboration is key to our work. Yet while we oten engage with a wide circle of interlocutors conceptually and theoretically, the practice of academic work can occur in isolated spaces and in individualistic forms. Collaboration proves particularly challenging for those comparatists at the beginning of their careers, when locating a network of scholarly connections and building a broader community may occur slowly. his is especially true for those not located in major metropolitan areas that can facilitate opportunities outside an individual campus and ofer a wider pool of resources. his workshop explores the opportunities and challenges of collaborating with others in our ields, and both within and beyond the conference space. We will address the diiculties that comparatists may experience in building a network, ofer strategies for connecting outside of one’s own department, and discuss the beneits of pursuing collaborative projects. Areas of consideration include inding interlocutors and approaching scholars from other institutions, forming inter-university projects, and funding and publishing opportunities for collaborative work. Following a panel discussion, participants will meet in small groups to discuss their own collaborative ventures and interests, ofering an opportunity to brainstorm ways to bring such projects to fruition. Panelists: Neelam Srivastava (Reader, Newcastle University), Jefrey Di Leo (Editor-in-Chief, symplokē), Magalí Armillas-Tiseyra (Assistant Professor, Pennsylvania State University), Emily Sibley, (Ph.D. student, New York University) Pre-registration required, limited to 50 participants.

Our aim is twofold: irst, to concentrate on how teachers can restructure curricula for greater, or more critical, diversity; and second, to consider pedagogical innovations that allow students greater input in their own learning processes. We will also extend a critical lens to the issue of “diversity,” questioning its theory and practice, and the many forms diversity can take in the classroom. his panel may be of special interest to those working on “statements of teaching philosophy” or “diversity statements,” now a commonplace requirement of academic job applications. hose preparing for the academic job market are welcome to join.
