The Marxist Literary Group, an affiliated organization of the Modern Languages Association, was formed in the early 1970s to promote the interests of scholars in the humanities whose professional and intellectual interests center upon the social, political and ideological elements and effects of literary texts and other cultural artefacts. The MLG especially wishes to promote scholarly consideration and discussion of the theoretical and practical contribution of Marxism and the Marxist tradition to study in the humanities and related disciplines. At each MLA convention we hold paper sessions, a business meeting, and a cash bar (often cited as the most popular cash bar at the MLA, with attendances of up to 500 people). We also sponsor an annual session at the MMLA, with whom we are officially affiliated and occasionally at other regional MLA meetings.
