cv at my address by 20th may 2002. If your synopsis is
selected I shall let you know the other details (the
format, word count, the deadline for submission etc.)
PLEASE NOTE YOUR ARTICLE NEEDS TO SHOW AN INNOVATIVE
APPLICATION OF THEORY BY WHICH A PARTICULAR WORK GETS
A NEW DIMENSION. THE INVENTIVE APPLICATION OF THEORY
(FROM FORMALISM TO POSTCOLONIAL WHATSOEVER) THAT
CONTRIBUTES TO THE OPENING UP OF THE TEXT WITH
HITHERTO UNKNOWN AREAS OF READING WILL BE GIVEN THE
PREFERENCE.
Looking forward to your scholarly responses.
With best wishes,
