including but not limited to:

- Fame and infamy; hoaxes, frauds, and plagiaries
- Science and the theatre of authority

- Music and performance
- Pedagogy as performance (we also encourage sample syllabi for a
special panel on pedagogy)
We especially welcome proposals that reflect the interdisciplinarity of
the conference. Conference participants should plan to precirculate
their papers, and accompanying presentations should be no longer than
