A book with a brick red cover sits on a suitcase lining. The book cover features yellow scrolling text that reads “New Orleans Pralines: Plantation Sugar, Louisiana Pecans, and the Marketing of Southern Nostalgia” by Anthony J. Stanonis.
I restrained myself to one book from the #2024ASA book exhibit this year. Looking forward to reading this, courtesy of @lsupress.bsky.social!

Hands hold up four beverages, toasting them together. Two of the drinks have dried fruit in them.
Cheers to a successful American Studies Association conference. It was great to see so many friends and hear so many good papers. See you next time! #2024ASA

The "On Anticolonial Revenge" panel might have been my favorite session at #2024ASA so far, both for the refreshing lucidity of the panelists and the earnest thoughtfulness of the questions. It was a necessary consideration of violence, (liberal) counterinsurgency, and affect towards liberation.

This roundtable will examine the intense proximity, entwinement, and even identity between queerness and American literature. In order to do so, it will bring together scholars working on American literature from the colonial period to the present. This session will theorize the inseparability of queer American literature and the history of American sexuality, historicize the key role of queerness in the construction of the U.S. literary canon, map the relations between queerness, transness, and literariness, and think across the relation between queer of color critique and so called white queer studies. In turning with renewed energy to literature and literariness, which played such a vital role in the formation of queer studies, this session and the forthcoming volume which inspired it, aspire to recast some of our narratives of sexuality studies
and American literature. It thus continues what Ramzi Fawaz and Shanté Paradigm Smalls describe as the project of tracing “how the history of queer literary production must necessarily be rewritten, reconsidered, and returned to in light of the dramatic historical and scholarly transformations… since the late 1980s.” Central to this project is the interrogation of the unstable conjunction “queer American literature” itself. Because an American literary work might be one set or partially set in America, written by someone with U.S. citizenship status or living undocumented in the U.S., energized by ideas of Americanness, or some other configurations entirely, and because a queer text might feature queer or gender nonconforming characters, acts, desires, tropes, or be written in a queer style, or by an author who might be animated in some way by queerness whether thorough personal identification or fear, and because literature denotes oral and written systems of communication, stories carved into wood as well as those written in ink, or composed of bites, the question of what queer American literature is can have no definitive answer. The roundtablists instead offer a range of possibilities, repertoires of queer and gender nonnormative relationality, tracing queer and gender nonnormative American literary histories, mapping American histories of queer sexualities and gender pluralities. But rather than defining queer American literature, this roundtable seeks to ask, in the style of the periperformative, what queer American literature makes possible.
Today I have the honour of presenting alongside some amazing people who also contributed to THE CAMBRIDGE HISTORY OF QUEER AMERICAN LITERATURE

Got to my first conference in a very long time, thanks to an institutional commitment to accessibility (now let’s get that going individually, co-attendees!). Heard some incredible work, connected with great people, wish I could stay through the end. #2024asa

So obsessed with this current talk on fake food in historic sites. “Deaccessioned Because Sticky” is my favorite title so far this conference, and opening with a line about how the work isn’t fully congealed was perfection. - Anna Elliott at #2024ASA

@clairebnschtn.bsky.social talking about “eating without eating” and the erotics of consumption through Jessica Simpson’s edible lotion. As a fellow White Girl Millennial, this presentation was funny and damning. So much to think about. #2024ASA
