If you are interested in submitting a proposal for the following panel, we would be happy to receive it. Please forward it to others who might find it interesting. Thank you. ********************** CAN WE TALK?: INTERDISCIPLINARITY, CULTURE, AND THE GLOBAL ECONOMY In what ways have the phenomena known collectively as globalization affected knowledge and the exchange of ideas? within disciplines, between disciplines, beyond disciplines? Does the economic retain priority in mapping the global? Or does interdisciplinarity promise a new lingua franca, and, if so, how can we characterize this language of exchange(s)? What are the ethical implications of new global formations and knowledge? What are the opportunities for articulating resistance to the dominant discourses of globality within and across disciplines and cultures? For the 2003 annual meeting of the American Comparative Literature Association to be held at Cal State San Marcos in North San Diego County, April 4-6, 2003, we invite papers on these and related issues: * Re-formation of knowledge(s) * Implications of global culture for traditional disciplines * The new epistemologies of the global economy * Past globalisms * Value and value-coding in a global context * Restructuring ethical paradigms in light of globalism * Multinationalism and transnationalism * Financial cultures and cosmopolitanism * Gendered perspectives on constructions of local/global identities * Circuits of exchange * Time/place of information in the global economy * Mapping the global market * Construction of the citizen subject * Glocality and its ethical implications * The languages of globalism Please send an abstract (approx. 250 words) and a brief CV to Samir Dayal or Margueritte Murphy by email (sdayal-AT-bentley.edu; mmurph2-AT-bentley.edu)or by mail (English Department, Bentley College, 175 Forest Street, Waltham, MA 02452-4705) by September 16, 2002.
