The Occitan Forum invites 250-word abstracts for a guaranteed panel titled "Poetry, Objects, and the 'Material Turn' in Occitan Literature and Song." We welcome papers that discuss objects or the "material turn" in troubadour song and related traditions. Contributions might include everyday or luxury objects as poetic metaphors, including objects of desire, or approach the material world of the troubadours through a more socio-historical lens. The 2026 MLA Convention will be held in Toronto on January 8-11. Please send abstracts to María Sánchez-Reyes (maria.sanchez-reyes@csulb.edu) by March 15.
