CALL FOR PAPERS
Equinoxes: "Initiations: Savoir Apprendre / À prendre"
Brown University French Studies Department Ninth Annual Graduate Conference
March 8-9, 2002
We invite graduate students to present 15-minute papers relevant to the
theme of initiation as it pertains to the appropriation and dissemination
of knowledge at the individual or collective level. While the topic
supports a broad approach, we hope to focus on knowledge as commodity in
the educational economy, initiation as introduction into an elite, and the
complex relational dynamics at work in the academy. We welcome submissions
that treat French and Francophone forms of artistic expression, as well as
broader sociological or theoretical issues, from the Middle Ages to the
present and into the future.
Topics addressed may include, but will not be limited to, the following:
- Power and Passion in the Student / Teacher Dialectic
- The Colonial Experience
- Traités Poétiques: Formation Littéraire
- Inculcation and Indoctrination
- Myths, Fables and other Instructive Tales
- Representations of Educational Processes in Literature and Film
- Bildungsroman
- Récits Initiatiques
- Manuels de Politesse au XVIIe
- The Pedagogue: Initiator of Innovation or Conformism
- Rites of Passage
- Misteaching / Teaching Ignorance
- The Preface: An Instructional Meta-Text
- Manifestoes and Proclamations
- (Re)Teaching the Truth of History
- Gender and Teaching
This year's conference will conclude with a roundtable "The Future of French Studies." Participants include Tom Conley, Anne Donadey, Nellie Furman and Lawrence Kritzman.
Papers may be presented in French or English.
Please send one-page abstracts by February 11, 2002 to Adele_Parker@brown.edu
