This physical transgression of geopolitical boundaries inevitably instigates a profound restructuring of individual and collective subjectivities. Literature functions as a dynamic repository for these complex trajectories, articulating the psychological, political, and cultural exigencies of displacement and resettlement. Crucially, migration is a highly gendered phenomenon; an individual’s positionality is negotiated and reconfigured at every stage of the diasporic process—from the structural catalysts for departure to the physical perils of transit and the socio-political parameters of host nations. Global literary traditions rigorously interrogate these intersections, offering critical frameworks to analyze the nuances of home, alienation, and hybridity. This session aims to examine how global <a href="https://callforpaper.org/categories/narratives" title="Browse narratives call for papers" rel="follow" aria-label="View more narratives call for papers" class="!text-inherit !font-normal !underline decoration-dotted decoration-slate-400/60 underline-offset-4 cursor-pointer hover:decoration-slate-900 dark:hover:decoration-slate-100 transition-colors">narratives</a> represent the friction between shifting geopolitical <a href="https://callforpaper.org/categories/borders" title="Browse borders call for papers" rel="follow" aria-label="View more borders call for papers" class="!text-inherit !font-normal !underline decoration-dotted decoration-slate-400/60 underline-offset-4 cursor-pointer hover:decoration-slate-900 dark:hover:decoration-slate-100 transition-colors">borders</a> and the ontological reconstruction of the gendered self. Consequently, it intends to investigate how authors across diverse historical epochs, geographic regions, and genres textualize the quest for belonging. By transcending static regional paradigms, this session highlights the multi-faceted modalities through which literature maps human <a href="https://callforpaper.org/categories/mobility-1" title="Browse mobility call for papers" rel="follow" aria-label="View more mobility call for papers" class="!text-inherit !font-normal !underline decoration-dotted decoration-slate-400/60 underline-offset-4 cursor-pointer hover:decoration-slate-900 dark:hover:decoration-slate-100 transition-colors">mobility</a>.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>This session holds immense academic significance by applying an intersectional framework to global displacement. It bridges the analytical gap between individual trauma and macro-level geopolitical structures through the concept of community. Ultimately, it redefines world literature by treating textuality as a dynamic repository for marginalized subjectivities.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>Modality:&nbsp;<br>Hybrid: The session will be held in-person but a few remote presentations may be included.&nbsp;<br><br></div>
