The organizers of this panel session welcome papers that engage with any aspect of the word-image nexus in illustrated novels, stage productions, or film in Anglo-European or North American culture during the long nineteenth century.
The relationship between text and image has an important and suggestive place in the humanities. While in decades past literary scholars have been apt to treat any visual elements accompanying literary texts as supplemental to texts, a growing number of visual and media studies theorists have expressed interest in the important and under-theorized role of paratexts in the form of advertisements, book illustrations, and film and stage adaptations. We have a particular interest in the visual culture of the long nineteenth century. For example, the craze for tableaux vivants, recreations of famous paintings on stage with living actors, infected both the popular stage, early film, and book illustration in the mid-1890s. The visual culture leading to this moment had itself been conditioned by pre-cinematic arts like magic lantern shows and stereoscopic viewers. We are interested in the complex ways that this visual culture not only supplemented but determined the representational conditions of literary texts, films, and stage productions.

CFP: NeMLA Panel “Neo-Victorian? Pop Culture, Lowbrow, and Genre Victoriana” (9/30/2015; 3/17-20/2016)

CFP: Neo-Victorian? Pop Culture, Lowbrow, and Genre Victoriana (Panel)
Northeast Modern Language Association
Hartford, Connecticut
March 17-20, 2016
Deadline: September 30, 2015
In the rapidly expanding field of neo-Victorian studies, the million-dollar question remains: what qualifies as neo-Victorian? For guidance, many scholars have relied on Ann Heilmann and Mark Llewellyn’s definition, which specifies that to be called neo-Victorian, a text “must in some respect be self-consciously engaged with the act of (re)interpretation, (re)discovery and revision concerning Victorians.” The implication is that this is a subgenre for respectable texts, of clear intellectual pedigree.
Yet, just as the Victorian era had its penny dreadfuls, musical halls, and melodramas, so contemporary acts of reengaging the Victorian may come in less elevated packages. Alongside sleek heritage films and postmodern literary novels, Victorian tales and times have been adapted or newly imagined in horror movies, pulp romances, Japanese manga, scripted web series, and a variety of other media. Some are successful and satisfying on their own terms, some less so, but all raise significant questions about how a subgenre is to be defined: by project, content, or some aesthetic standard?
While scholars have addressed many such works individually, this panel invites readings that explore the broader question of whether/how the field of neo-Victorian studies might benefit from considering “lowbrow” or pop culture Victoriana. This panel seeks to shed light on how contemporary culture at large imagines, stereotypes, (mis)remembers, and manipulates the Victorian era, while continuing to celebrate it.
Possible paper topics could include but are not limited to:
