    ANTHOLOGIES, ARCHIVES, AND AMERICAN LITERATURE PEDAGOGY

    New anthologies and digitized archives allow teachers of American =
    literature to access an unprecedented range of American texts. This =
    session will examine the impact of these textual technologies on the =
    teaching of American literature. How have our pedagogies, priorities, =
    and definitions of the literary been reshaped? Is it possible, or even =
    desirable, to teach it all?

    Possible topics include:
    -Use of web-based text resources in the classroom
    -Impact of archival recovery and republication on the teaching of =
    multi-ethnic American literatures
    -Implementing the expansive new American literature anthologies
    -Benefits and disadvantages of using primary versus anthologized texts

    Please send 150 - 200 word abstracts by November 10 to Joanna Brooks, =
    Department of English, University of Texas at Austin, Austin, TX, 78712; =
