‘Flaming Intellects and Floating Acolytes’
3rd Annual Southwest Postgraduate Humanities Conference
School of English, University of Exeter
Call for Papers Conference: 3rd September 2001
This postgraduate conference is concerned with influence between individuals, texts, groups, movements and ideologies. We want to explore how the acolyte has rejected, imitated, parodied or enshrined the intellect that set it aloft. What happens to The Golden Bowl in Ismail Merchant’s hands? What happens to Horace when Pope makes him into an eighteenth-century gentleman? Or, indeed, what does Bart do to Kenny?
Topics to include: plagiarism; forgery; appropriation; imitation; collaboration; co-operation; adaptation and bastardization.
Postgraduates, postdoctoral researchers and newly appointed lecturers are invited to tailor relevant aspects of their research into a 20-minute presentation.
Plenary Speakers: Dr Ashley Tauchert, Professor Colin MacCabe and Dr Nick Groom
Please send a 300-word abstract to Flaming Intellects, c/o Jane Roberts, School of English, Queen’s Building, University of Exeter, Exeter, Devon, EX4 4QH or by e-mail (see below).
To reserve a place, please send a cheque for £10.00 (payable to Flaming Intellects), giving your contact details. The fee includes lunch (please indicate any dietary requirements).
