Sorry if this has already gone to the Spoon, Brook ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 5 Apr 1999 14:58:43 -0400 (EDT) From: "Amy M. Vondrak" <amvondra-AT-mailbox.syr.edu> To: cfp-AT-english.upenn.edu Subject: CFP: Academics and Activism: Putting Your Theory to Work (6/15; 10/3-10/5) please distribute ***** CALL FOR PAPERS ***** The CENTRAL NEW YORK CONFERENCE ON LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE panel on ACADEMICS AND ACTIVISM: PUTTING YOUR THEORY TO WORK DEADLINE for ABSTRACTS: 6/15/99 CONFERENCE DATE: 3-5 October, 1999 SUNY Cortland How does "theory" (whatever that is) do work in and beyond the walls of the academy? "Theory" is often coupled with terms like "race," "gender," "sexuality," "economic" and "cultural" (to name a few): how do particular theoretical paradigms address, or fail to address, the material realities and practices which underlie these categories? Does literary theory have anything to do with "the real world"? This panel will pursue these and similar questions with two larger (and perhaps fantastic, i.e. grounded in fastasy) goals: (1) to consider the viability and relevence of English and Critical Theory as disciplines and departments and (2) to consider the obligation of academics to connect their work with the world beyond the academy. Papers should explore any area related to these questions, and/or challenge the assumptions and definitions behind them.
