REQUESTING SUBMISSIONS FOR THE 2ND ANNUAL GRAD STUDENT CONFERENCE AT NORTH CAROLINA STATE UNIVERSITY, RALEIGH, NC ------------------------------------------------------- CULTURAL CARTOGRAPHIES:SURVEYING THE POSTCOLONIAL BODY ------------------------------------------------------- Questions concerning the "body" are central to postcolonial inquiry. What is the relationship between the individual body and the body politic? Between identity and its embodiment? Between the speaking subject and dominant discourse? By surveying film, literature, and other cultural texts, _Cultural Cartographies_ seeks to identify and explore the racialization and sexualization of postcolonial bodies. This conference will attempt to chart how textuality, adornment, violence, and subjectivity affect the construction and comprehension of personal and political identity in the context of colonial and postcolonial power dynamics. We welcome papers, creative manuscripts, and panel proposals that exhibit a variety of critical and artistic engagements with postcolonial discourse. Submissions may be specific to national or regional literature, to a single author or theorist, or they may treat broader subjects such as new definitions of genre and gender, eroticism vs. pornography, literary sexuality, as well as specific issues of national and colonial representation. The conference will feature Chris Eyre, a Native American filmmaker, who will screen his latest project, and Michael Valdez Moses, author of _The Novel and the Globalization of Culture_, who will speak on the field of postcolonial studies. In addition, a $100 prize for a selected paper will be awarded, sponsored by _Postmodern Culture_ and _J'ouvert: a journal of postcolonial studies_. Please send or e-mail a detailed 1-2 page abstract to: Mike Malouf (mgmalouf-AT-unity.ncsu.edu) or for creative submisions: Matt Kreib (makreib-AT-unity.nscu.edu) English Department Tompkins Hall, Box 8105 North Carolina State University Raleigh NC 27695-8105 --- from list postcolonial-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu ---
