conference. We invite papers or 500-word proposals on any of
the following topics:
--American Indians and Literary Theories or, Is there an Indian
in this text?
--creative presentations by American Indian artists (poetry or
prose readings, drama, multimedia presentations)
--teaching about cultural tensions, apprehensions, or
misapprehensions: negotiating tensions between aesthetics and
politics in the classroom and beyond
--texts and contexts: what counts in the creation and/or teaching
of American Indian literatures?
--connecting contemporary and traditional literatures for writers
and for readers
--narrative, poetic, and/or rhetorical strategies of American
Indian writers
--film or multi-media representations of/by American Indians
--American Indian authors’ work(s). Especially welcome will be
papers which go beyond "canonical" American Indian writers or
texts to examine those which have been overlooked or under-
studied in academic circles.
