Use when positioning a PMLA (Publications of the Modern Language Association) essay within the critical conversation so it reads as a significant contribution to literary and language studies. PMLA readers span periods, languages, and schools, so the essay must engage the criticism they expect and stake a clear intervention. Stakes the contribution; it does not write the literature survey.

From the source SKILL.md

PMLA publishes essays that address a significant problem for a broad membership. Positioning is how you show the problem is real and that your essay moves the conversation — not throat-clearing. The goal is to place the essay where scholars across periods and methods can see the stakes and the move.
