CALL FOR PAPERS: "Faulkner and His Contemporaries"
The 29th Annual Faulkner and Yoknapatawpha Conference
University of Mississippi, July 21-26, 2002
The 2002 conference addresses the literary and intellectual relations
Faulkner shares with other writers and artists as well as the extent to
which his work is a reflection of, and a commentary on, the major
intellectual movements of the day.
Here are some issues that might be addressed: Who are those writers with
whom Faulkner can be most usefully compared? What are the artistic and
intellectual movements that most pervade Faulkner's work? Are there any
movements or "schools" with which Faulkner is not normally linked --
such as the Lost Generation, the Harlem Renaissance, Proletarian
Literature -- that might reveal unexpected insights into Faulkner, or
that might themselves be altered by being viewed through a Faulknerian
lens? To what extent is Faulkner truly a writer of his age --
reflecting and responding to the written world around him -- and to what
extent is he the iconoclast, going his unique way?
We are inviting papers for panels. Send three copies of two-page
abstracts by January 15, 2002 to:
Prof. Donald Kartiganer
Department of English
The University of Mississippi
