Subject: CFP: Literature Matters
Romance Studies Colloquium 2006
Call for Papers
LITERATURE MATTERS
The University of Oregon
Eugene, Oregon
October 19-21, 2006
Without reverting to a nostalgic return to literature as privileged,
isolated, or romanticized, can we say literature matters in the world
today, both inside and outside the academy? We are soliciting papers
addressing ways in which literature matters. These may include literature
as social engagement, literature as connective tissue moving in a material
way among disciplines and peoples, literature at the core or periphery of
cultural studies.
The 2006 Romance Studies Colloquium will take place from October 19th to
21st at the University of Oregon (Eugene, Oregon) in a spectacular setting
overlooking the Willamette River and surrounded by bike and walking paths
through the riparian forest. The colloquium will address liter! ary matters
and mattering across the Romance languages. Ethical, material,
sociological, linguistic, political, and theoretical implications of the
topic will be considered. Comparative and interdisciplinary approaches
(painting, architecture, film, performance, photography, theory, cultural
studies, and media) are actively encouraged.Papers may focus on any time
and place in Romance studies. Possible topics include:
Literature of subversion and resistance Literary
myth-making Identity politics, gay pride, religious belief
The rhetoric of engagement Political autobiography, memoir,
testimony Performance and propaganda.
Proposals for twenty-minute papers (maximum one page, in English*) should
be sent in electronic form by January 15, 2006 to: Prof. Evlyn Gould
([log in to unmask]) with cc: to Jeanne Lawson
([log in to unmask]), Department of Romance Languages,
University of Oregon, Eugene, OR 97403.
A selection of peer-reviewed articles based on papers given at the
Colloquium will be published in Romance Studies (founded 1982).
*Though papers must be presented in English at the conference, articles for
consideration by the journal may be written in English, French, Italian or
Spanish.*
