The best conference that never was nor will be
Author: Anon
MLA 2010 would like to extend our encouragement and good wishes to all those organizing and participating in MLA 2011. There are so many jobs to be done and earned, we would like to give you the energy and enthusiasm demanded by official conference participation—and which are inherent in MLA 2010.
To help you along we are offering a free download to all those attending and not attending the MLA 2011 conference, a memento, a virtually concrete false memory of the best conference that never was: a name-badge sticker. Delegates or non-delegates who submit to the MLA 2010 Facebook evidence of wearing such a badge will win untold fame and measureless fortune.

A rather late April fool (but if you knew Time as well as we do, you wouldn’t talk about him), this month Noam Chomsky, the Mad March Hare, drinks tea with guests with whom he has enjoyed some provoking riddles…

Always looking to share the love—in all its many forms and fetishes—MLA 2010 sends out big hugs and sloppy kisses to hir most dedicated friends, hir friends still to come, and the friends s/he dreams of coming . . . .
Happy, happy MLvAlentine’s Day, everyone.
Happy MLvAlentines 2010!

Stanley Fish rarely rises to the bait. Terry Eagleton (pictured fishing for Fish) may have called him “the Donald Trump of American academia”; Ron Rosenbaum is not alone in believing he wrote the worst op-ed ever; and Martha Nussbaum tried to tickle him out of relativism, but Mr Fish has kept his head firmly in the glassy text. Because he’s so opinionatored, MLA 2010 is happy to feature Mr Fish as its February calendar creature.

In response to popular demand and in recognition of this time-challenging time of year, MLA 2010 hereby launches the launch of a calendar to celebrate academics. The launch itself will involve twelve monthly installments, so the calendar will be right on time for 2011. The criteria for featuring in the calendar will be worked out in February. As ever suggestions welcome.
For January we are pleased to celebrate Emily Apter, fetishistic scholar, translational thinker, and our FB fan. And this year being the 19th anniversary of the publication of Feminizing the Fetish: Psychoanalysis And Narrative Obsession In Turn-of-the-century France, we thought it only apt to remember the queer work in our own dreamy way.

… or is it just new and improved? MLA 2010 is hoping to confirm soon that Mr Harold Bloom will present a keynote session entitled “I Was Wrong: We Should Include Women and People of Color in the Canon.” This is the rumored title of the opening chapter of his rumored book The New & Improved Western Canon.

Riding our publishing hype, two new books from MLA 2010:
Dan Brown vs David Lodge… MLA 2010 is pleased to offer this seminal work in the growing field of MLA 2010 faction. These authors reveal themselves as unknowns in an unknown space. Dr. Bardiac was prescient when s/he suggested “The MLA thing means that a 2010 setting for a murder mystery at the MLA would be perfect, complete with sex and semiotics!” It is a small world, eh?
The duo churns them out…

MLA 2010 is pleased to announced the publication of two new titles.
When you’re hungry from grading and the only things in the apartment are left-over papers:
Trashing Contemporary Theory with Undergraduates shows readers how theory can, in the words of Bill F. Bain, enable teachers and students “to renew, reuse or recycle theory, providing a compostable environment for overturning literary and cultural history.”

MLA 2010 represents all that is different from MLA conferences or conventions prior to and subsequent to 2010.
This conference is being organised virtually at whatever time suits you.
If you’re serious, stressed or need to worry about an academic job, you might like to visit MLA Annual Convention.
