    CFP: The Politics of Samuel Beckett's Translations (3/11/01; 12/27/01-12/30/01)

    Modern Language Association
    December 27-30, 2001
    Proposed Special Session
    Topic: The Politics of Samuel Beckett's Translations

    Discussion of Beckett's activities as translator have, heretofore, focused
    largely upon technical issues and upon variations between his texts as they
    appear in differing languages. This proposed special session to the 2001
    MLA Conference in New Orleans seeks submissions that choose, instead, to
    view Beckett's translations as political acts relating to (though not
    necessarily sympathetic to) his homeland of Ireland.

    500 word abstracts should be submitted by March 11, 2000 to:

    Jude R. Meche
    Department of English
    Texas A&M University
    College Station, TX 77843-4227

    or may be sent via e-mail to:
