Friends,

I am inserting this as a message, since I know our list does not allow 
for attachments. Pass it around.

Feel free to inquire, with me (chair of the Division) or any one else 
among the session chairs. DEADLINE 15th March for submission. We 
generally ackowledge receiving proposals, but tend to wait until March 
collectively to cull/decide/group and regroup, so as to have panels 
that present a fairly consistent thematic or theoretical front.

Suggestions and objections welcome, of course.

By the way, we'd also appreciate knowing whether you've submitted 
elsewhere at MLA, so as not to have the same person/same paper listed 
in 2 or 3 or 10 different sessions at the conference.  It tends to 
frazzle the good folks at MLA Headquarters.

  This does not disqualify you. It may even help place you, in that if 
we know you've also submitted to "cinema" or "philosophy" whatever, 
we'll trade and swap with the cinema/philosophy session organizer. 
Cheers, cz
