Seventh Annual
University of South Carolina
Comparative Literature Conference

Thinking on the Boundaries:

The Availability of Philosophy 
in Film and Literature

11-13 February 2005

Keynote Speaker:  Stanley Cavell (Harvard)

Plenary Speakers:  Karen Hanson (Indiana); Toril Moi (Duke); Stephen Mulhall (Oxford)

Special Guest:  Ross McElwee (Harvard)

Inspired by the work of Stanley Cavell, this conference provides an opportunity to explore topics central to his writings and illustrative of the frequently cross- disciplinary approaches that those writings employ. Such topics include, but are hardly confined to, Shakespeare and Philosophy, Emerson and Nietzsche, Emerson as a Philosopher?, Arguments of Genre in Film and Literature, Moral Perfectionism, Film and the Sublime, Film and Skepticism, Exemplarity and Exemplification, Documentary and Beyond.

Presentations should be broadly interdisciplinary.  Please send one-page abstracts for twenty-minute papers to the conference organizers, Martin Donougho and Lawrence Rhu, Comparative Literature Program, Humanities Building, Columbia, SC 29208, or email them to donougho-AT-sc.edu and rhul-AT-sc.edu.  Deadline for proposals:  31 October 2004.
