British 18th and 19th Century Literature
Submission Deadline: November 1, 2001
The 7th Annual GES Conference will be held February 22-23, 2002 at Texas
Tech University in Lubbock, Texas. The theme of this year's conference,
"Past and Future Perspectives: Negotiating our Changing Field,"
addresses our changing field from the graduate scholar's perspective.
The palindrome of the year suggests examination of ways our past can
help us deal with our future regarding issues arising from new theories,
cultural shifts, evolving technologies, and recent discoveries.
While I am especially interested in abstracts/proposals which address
the following suggested topics, abstracts dealing with any aspect of
18th/19th century British literature are welcome and will be considered:
1) Gender, Sexuality, and the Novel—analyzing gender and sexuality in
18th- and 19th-century
novels. (Abstracts will be reviewed for poetry, drama, and other forms
of literature as well.)
2) Cultural Contexts: Law, Medicine/Science, and Religion—evaluating the
discourses of public/social knowledge and who controls the language of
classification as it applies to the individual and appears in literary
texts.
3) Exploring and Expanding the Canon—re-evaluating 18th- and
19th-century texts and a look at the
changing landscape of criticism and critical approaches for the 21st
century.
E-mail submissions are strongly encouraged; please put "GES Conference
Proposal" in the subject line for all electronic submissions.
Participants may present no more than two papers or be on no more than
two panels.
