Call for Papers
Poe and Literary Space
a panel proposed for the 2nd International Edgar Allan Poe Conference
October 3-6, 2002 in Baltimore, MD.
Theorists of urban or literary space like Walter Benjamin, Maurice
Blanchot, Gaston Bachelard, and William Carlos Williams all cite Poe's
texts as examples of an urban hermeneutics, a dwelling in the space of
death, the sensitive creation of spatial imagery, and a radically original
"clearing of the ground." This panel seeks papers that address these
writers or related themes such as architecture, "The Philosophy of
Furniture," urban design, the Gothic, the grotesque, "Eureka"'s theory of
space itself, the arabesque, maps, psychotic space, flanerie, travelogues,
and landscape. Please send abstracts for 20-minute papers to Hsuan Hsu,
Department of English, 320 Wheeler Hall, U.C., Berkeley, Berkeley, CA
94720. The deadline for submissions is 1 September, 2001.
