The Central New York Conference on Language and Literature announces a call
for papers that investigate the topic "Contamination and Colonial Dis-ease"
for the Victorian literature session of its 2001 meeting. The meeting will
take place October 28-30 at Cortland College of the State University of New
York.
The purpose of this particular panel is to investigate Victorian anxiety
about England's extensive impire, and about the possibility that physical,
social, moral, or even discursive/textual contaminations might find their
way back to English soil. Submissions on both literary and extra-literary
cultural phenomena are welcome, provided that the idea of colonialism and
contagion are central to the concerns of the presentation.
Please send an abstract of 400-500 words if you wish to have your
presentation considered for inclusion in the panel. You may send the
abstract by email to scg7@psu.edu, but please include the abstract in the
text of the email rather than attach it as a separate file. You may also
send your submission to Sean C. Grass, Department of English, 103 Burrowes
Building, Penn State University, University Park, PA 16802-6202.
The deadline for submissions is June 15, 2001.
