Speculative Territorializations of New West Literatures

Tucson, Arizona | El Conquistador Hilton Resort

October 2–5, 2024

As president of the Western Literature Association for 2024 I am thrilled to announce that the 2024 WLA Conference will take place from October 2–5 in Tucson, Arizona. Situated on ancestral Tohono O'odham lands known as Cuk-Ṣon and nicknamed "the Old Pueblo" by subsequent settlers, we were able to secure the Hilton El Conquistador Resort as our conference venue. Located in the Sonoran Desert in the foothills of the spectacular Santa Catalina Mountains, this site amplifies any perceptions inspired by these layered geographic and spatial significations. Such associations speak to the meaning and status of the American West and its dynamic (re)inscription through the storytelling processes of writing, art, filmmaking, performativity, and song. As a means of synthesizing such qualities and ideas, this conference will be focused on the theme of Speculative Territorializations of New Western Literatures. The theme is offered to stimulate thought provoking discussions and the exploration of new insights arising from the physical and mythic landscapes of the American West, including Pacific Island borderlands, reaching beyond Jean-François Lyotard's conception of the West Coast as "Pacific wall."

Organized around this inclusive and expansive subject, the 2024 conference aims to inspire fresh intellectual and artistic engagement with a range of relevant texts, while extending ongoing experimentations in western literature and transcending the boundaries of literary genres and temporal contexts. This theme also seeks to provide a fertile ground for playful intellectual inquiry, reflecting the vibrant enthusiasm for diverse and forward-thinking speculative futures and artistic forms, which are central to current discussions about the West and the direction of western literature, art, film, and popular culture.

第 58 届西部文学协会会议

以下是内容的简要摘录，以代替摘要：第 58 届西部文学协会大会点击查看大图查看完整分辨率霍根的希望 © Ryan Singer, 2022 新西部文学的推测性领土化亚利桑那州图森市 | 埃尔征服者希尔顿度假村 2024 年 10 月 2-5 日作为 2024 年西部文学协会主席，我非常高兴地宣布，2024 年西部文学协会大会将于 10 月 2-5 日在亚利桑那州图森市举行。图森位于祖先托霍诺-奥德汉姆（Tohono O'odham）的土地上，被称为 "Cuk-Ṣon"，并被后来的定居者昵称为 "老普韦布洛"，我们能够确保希尔顿征服者度假村（Hilton El Conquistador Resort）成为我们的会议地点。该度假村位于壮观的圣卡塔利娜山脚下的索诺兰沙漠中，其地理位置和空间意义的多层次性增强了人们的感知能力。这些联系说明了美国西部的意义和地位，以及通过写作、艺术、电影制作、表演和歌曲等讲故事的过程对其进行的动态（重新）描述。作为综合这些特质和观点的一种手段，本次会议将围绕 "新西部文学的推测性领土化 "这一主题展开。提出这一主题的目的是为了激发思考性讨论，探索从美国西部（包括太平洋岛屿边境地区）的物理和神话景观中产生的新见解，超越让-弗朗索瓦-利奥塔（Jean-François Lyotard）将西海岸视为 "太平洋之墙 "的概念。[2024 年会议围绕这一具有包容性和广阔性的主题展开，旨在激发人们对一系列相关文本进行新的思想和艺术探索，同时扩展西部文学中正在进行的实验，并超越文学流派和时代背景的界限。这一主题还力图为游戏性的智力探索提供肥沃的土壤，反映出人们对多样化和前瞻性的推测未来和艺术形式的蓬勃热情，而这正是当前关于西方以及西方文学、艺术、电影和大众文化发展方向的讨论的核心。WLA 2024 主席比利-J-斯特拉顿（Billy J.
