With the "William S. Burroughs: Time-Place-Word" exhibit of printed
material at the John Hay Library at Brown University in Providence RI,
running from October through December 2000, I'd like to especially
encourage presentations that focus on the collectible aspects of
Burroughs's work, including print and other media.

Below is the general call for the panel, and if anyone is interested in
more info. about the exhibit, email me off list and I can forward it to you.

Central New York Conference on Language and Literature
State University of New York at Cortland
October 29-31, 2000

I am chairing a special session on William S. Burroughs for the CNYCLL
conference, and invite abstracts and/or completed papers on any aspect of
Burroughs scholarship. With the spate of Burroughs-related publications in
the last few years, including both the wonderful "Wising Up the Marks: The
Amodern William Burroughs" by Timothy S. Murphy, as well as the official
concatenation: "Word Virus: The William S. Burroughs Reader," this a
crucial moment in which to study the methods of (anti)canonization/control
foisted upon WSB's work in the wake of his physical consolidation.
