"Performative Resurrections: Death, Rebirth and the Trope of the Risen"

We invite papers which investigate themes of death and rebirth in drama
and performance from scholars in a wide range of disciplines.
Presentations might address this topic through the lens of contemporary
critical theory, staging practice, dramaturgical approaches, theatre
histor(ies), genre, or various performance traditions (ritual and
religious drama, folklore, opera, dance, etc.). Topics might include,
but are not restricted to, the tragic ghost tradition, =91faking=92 death
on stage, specters of disease, holocaust narratives, apocalypse
narratives and representations of the afterlife.
One-page abstracts (approximately 500 words) are due by 30 April 2001.
Abstracts must include the applicant=92s name, address, telephone number
and email address as well as academic affiliation. Papers will be
limited to presentations of twenty minutes maximum. Please include a
request for any required audio-visual equipment with your submission.

Purposefully designed to be interdisciplinary, this conference will
also be interactive, incorporating scene presentations of
conference-paper length side-by-side with more conventionally academic
work. A separate call for performance presentations will be issued
once the paper call has closed.
