    CALL FOR PAPERS

    For a seminar at the American Comparative Literature Association Annual
    Conference

    (20 - 22 April 2001: University of Colorado, Boulder).

    "The Representation of Space in Late Colonial Narrative"

    By mid-twentieth century citizens =96 and readerships =96 of European
    metropolitan centers were faced with the "shock of descendancy" as their
    nations assumed secondary and tertiary roles behind the U.S. and the
    U.S.S.R. This panel draws its object of study from the vast European
    literature set in the colonial world during this period. The 12- to
    14-paper format of an ACLA seminar lends itself to the exploration of
    these late colonial spaces from a range of approaches. Equally welcome
    therefore are papers weighted toward issues of: narratology, philosophy
    of literary space, or social contexts such as ethnicity, gender, class,
    postcolonialism.

    Please send abstract and summary CV by 22 September to:

    Ken Seigneurie, Lebanese American University, 475 Riverside Dr. (Room
    1846), New York, NY 10115-0065. kseigneurie@lau.edu.lb
