Society for Utopian Studies
CALL FOR PAPERS
Buffalo, New York
October 4-7, 2001
The 26th Annual Meeting of the Society for Utopian Studies will be held in
Buffalo, New York. The Society for Utopian Studies, founded in 1975, is an
international, interdisciplinary association devoted to the study of
utopianism in all its forms, with a particular emphasis on literary and
experimental utopias. Scholars representing a wide variety of disciplines
are active in the association and approach utopian studies from such
diverse backgrounds as American Studies, Architecture, the Arts, Classics,
Cultural Studies, Economics, Engineering, Environmental Studies, Gender
Studies, History, Languages and Literatures, Philosophy, Political Science,
Psychology, Sociology and Urban Planning. The Society publishes the
journal Utopian Studies and a newsletter, Utopus Discovered, which contains
information about upcoming conferences and workshops, and a bibliography of
recent publications in the field.
The Society's annual meetings provide an ideal venue for intellectual
interchange in a cooperative, non-competitive, congenial, and convivial
environment. At each meeting the Society presents the Arthur O. Lewis
Award for the best paper by a junior scholar given at the previous annual
meeting and the Eugenio Battisti Award for the best article in each volume
of Utopian Studies. Membership in the Society includes announcements
regarding the annual meeting, Utopian Studies, and Utopus Discovered. For
more information on Membership, see our website at www.utoronto.ca/utopia.
You must be a member to present a paper.
COME TO BUFFALO, NEW YORK . . . . The twenty-sixth annual meeting will be
held in Buffalo, New York, October 4-7, 2001 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel.
Buffalo will be celebrating the Centennial of the 1901 Pan American
Exposition. There will be many events in the city commemorating the
world's fair and its tribute to technology and culture, critiquing many of
the values and intentions that guided the 1901 Exposition, and searching
for the vision that will make the next century. We also plan a visit to
one of the world's most famous utopian spaces, Niagara Falls. Come and
join us!
