<P><STRONG>'PAYING FOR THE POST-AGE?':</STRONG></P>
<P>An interdisciplinary Postgraduate Conference on that which names us</P>
<P><STRONG>23rd & 24th of March 2001, University of Stirling, Scotland</STRONG></P>
<P>Please visit the conference web-site at <STRONG>www.english.stir.ac.uk </STRONG>for the latest information.</P>
<P><STRONG>Call for Papers:</STRONG></P>
<P>We are concerned for the favourite prefix of our age and welcome abstracts of up to three hundred words for twenty-minute papers on any area dealing with the problems of the prefix. Although papers should aim to connect with the prefix in some way, we do not wish to place any limit on the temporality of the texts under consideration. It is hoped that the conference will consider texts across a broad range of disciplines (oral, visual, written, historical, geographical, musical etc.). Creative responses to the prefix would be especially welcome, be they from 'creative writers' or any other type of wilful experimenter.</P>
<P> </P>
<P> Possible topics might include:</P>
<P>- the politics and ethics of 'post-'</P>
<P>- the affects of the post-industrial</P>
<P>- the future for the post-colonial</P>
<P>- historicism and the prefix</P>
<P>- 'post-romanticism', 'post-classicism', etc.</P>
<P>- feminist readings of the prefix</P>
<P>- aporias of the prefix</P>
<P>- the liminal spaces occupied by post-graduates</P>
<P>- practice and pedagogy in the study of the prefix</P>
<P>- 'post-' finality</P>
<P>- between the 'posts': own goals?</P>
<P>- the effort to find a 'post'.</P>
<P>Please send abstracts by February 10th 2001 to Kirsten Kearney (kak1-AT-stir.ac.uk) and / or Alan Nicholson (adn1-AT-stir.ac.uk) as Microsoft Word attachments or, if like us, you think a letter is always nice, please send to:</P>
<P>K. Kearney & A. Nicholson, Dept. of English Studies, Pathfoot Building, University of Stirling, Stirling, Scotland. FK8 4LP.</P>
