Subject: CFP: Reception Study and Genre Study
Papers proposals are invited for a session on the relation between
reception
study and genre study, which is being organized for the 3rd biannual
Reception
Study Society Conference, which will be held on September 11-13, 2009,
at
Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana, USA. Proposals exploring
any
aspect of that relation are welcome. Some possible topics include
examinations of new perspectives that reception study can provide for
genre
study. How can reception theory or practice impact the role of genre
study in
shaping literary history and our conceptions of that history?
Conversely, does
genre study provide any new avenues for reconceiving reception theory
and
practice? Abstracts of 200-300 words and a 1-2 page vita should be sent
to
the session organizer, Jim Machor, at <[log in to unmask]> by May 1. For
information about the Reception Study Society and its upcoming and
previous
conferences, visit the RSS website at <www.english.udel.edu/RSSsite/>.
