Call For Papers: Colonial/postcolonial Realism
Hartford, Connecticut
March 30-31, 2001
This panel seeks projects which look at the poetics of
realism/anti-realism and its relationship to
postcolonial literature. This includes but is not
limited to questions that address the relationship
between narrativity and political ideology, and genre
and national identity in a colonial or postcolonial
setting. In other words, what is the relationship
between form and content? Papers that transcend
traditional categories of interpretation such as
Magical Realism, are of particular interest. Analyses
of any postcolonial literature are welcomed, including
Francophone and Hispanic (though papers must be
written and read in English), and texts not
traditionally considered "postcolonial" (such as
African-American). I will also consider theoretical
projects which contest this line of inquiry, as long
as they are sketched within a (post)colonial
framework.
Please send a 1-2 page abstract no later than
September 15, 2000. For more information about the
conference, please go to the NEMLA website at
