    Call for Papers: Update! Deadlines and a few reminders.
    Since many people have requested more time to submit their abstracts, we are
    extending the deadline from June 20 to July 10.
    In addition, please send abstracts as part of the e-mail message itself, as
    e-mail text; our conference chair has a Mac that can’t unzip most files (much
    to his suprise!). Please also include a mailing address with your abstract.
      Thank you -- Ken Monteith

    Here’s the original call again:

    Metaphysics of the Image: the alternate, the transcendent, and the virtual in
    literature.

    Fordham University’s Graduate English Association seeks submissions for our
    fourth annual conference, to be held at the Lincoln Center campus Oct. 19-20,
    2001. This year’s topic explores the point where reality and textuality
    intersect, where the everyday becomes redefined through fictive reality, and
    where the mundane becomes redirected though literary transcendence.

    Topics include, but are not restricted to:

    Political/textual identifications Utopias Distopias
    Religious experience Altered minds Transcendent bodies
    Virtual realities Science fictions Fantasy fictions
    Chemical transcendence Transcendentalism
    Political transformation Imagining Saints, Sinners, and Seers
    Revisioning race Negotiating gender
    >From page, to stage, to screen

    We are seeking publication of a selected proceedings for this conference, so
    please keep this in mind when submitting abstracts. Please send abstracts by
    JULY 10 to Fordham’s Graduate English Association, C/O Ken Monteith either by
    e-mail or by post.

    E-mail: Cainteoir@aol.com
