Subject: Dear Colleagues,
Dear Colleagues,
I should like to draw your attention to a forthcoming conference in the
UK at Liverpool Hope University College in conjunction with the Merseyside
Maritime Museum.
'Textports 2000' (26th -29th April 2000) will, using the concept of a
port as a cultural nexus, examine the problematic relationships between and
within cultures and the possibility of cultural exchange. With its long
history of involvement in commerce and cultural exchange and its unique
galleries, museums and waterfront development, Liverpool provides an obvious
location for reflections upon both past and present.
In order to offer as wide a participation as possible, the organizers
have decided to extend the deadline for offers of papers to 28th February
2000. Papers are invited from a range of disciplines - literature, history,
cultural studies, music and art - to address areas such as:
imperialism and colonialism; concepts of postcolonial Britain; minority
literatures; national identities; travel writing; narratives of the port,
especially Liverpool as a locus for onward and inward journeying to America,
the Caribbean, Australia, India, China, from and into Britain.
I should be very grateful if you would forward this message to any
colleagues working in these areas and who might be interested in attending
or offering a paper.
Full details are on our website; //www.hope.ac.uk/text/ports.html
Best wishes,
Sue Zlosnik
