Thanks, Maria Dr. Maria Margaroni Associate Professor Department of English Studies University of Cyprus _____ From: Maria Margaroni [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Saturday, January 30, 2010 11:27 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: IAPL University of Regina (24 -30 May 2010) - Call for General Session Chairs Importance: High IAPL - Canada (24-30 May 2010): Call for Chairs The International Association for Philosophy and Literature (IAPL) is having its 2010 annual conference at the University of Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada, 24-30 May. I am writing as a member of the Executive Committee to invite you to consider chairing one of the following General Sessions: Cultures of Cruelty (papers on Nietzsche and Artaud) Traumatic Narratives/Belated Futures (papers on Celan, the Holocaust, Conrad, Khadra) Globalizing Cultures (papers on cultural accommodation and difference, cultural macro-narcissism, ideology, fear of the Other and the relation between technology and nature) Travelling Nations (papers on Chinese National history, the national stakes in the writing of Hispanic philosophy, American national myths, tourism and Italian Canadian writing, travelling, imagination and memory)* * Please note that sessions are finalized only after registration. The overall theme for the IAPL 2010 conference is "Cultures of Differences: national/indigenous/historical". Please check the IAPL website ( www.iapl.info) to find out more about it. As of this year, chairs can give a 15-min. opening presentation, contextualizing the issues raised by the papers and throwing into relief any connections between them. Our hope is that this can help people secure funding to attend the conference from their host institution. If anyone is interested in coming to Regina and chairing one of these sessions, please contact me (Maria Margaroni) at [log in to unmask] as soon as possible. If you are already on an IAPL panel or have submitted an abstract, it is not possible to be on the program twice. Many thanks for considering this invitation and I look forward to seeing you some of you in Regina.
