The Flesh Made Text: Bodies, Theories, Cultures in the Post-Millennial
Era
(9/30/02; 5/15-18/03)
School of English, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece
15-18 May, 2003
The School of English of Aristotle University, Thessaloniki, Greece, in
cooperation with the Hellenic Association for the Study of English
(HASE) and the Hellenic Association of American Studies (HELAAS),
invites scholars to submit proposals for the international conference on
the body to be held in Thessaloniki on 15-18 May, 2003.
The upcoming Olympic Games (Athens 2004) provide a stimulating
opportunity to explore the historical trajectory of the concept of the
body and debate the ambiguous cultural situation of (post) modern bodies
as figures of crisis and fragmentation and, simultaneously, as
privileged loci of presence and wholeness. We are encouraging
interdisciplinary work from the fields of literary and cultural studies,
art criticism, media studies, anthropology, psychology, history, and
philosophy, which will address questions of corporeal representation and
discourse in a broad array of 'texts': literature and the visual arts,
theatre and performance arts, science and technology, and the mass
media. Topics may include, among others:
=B7 classical/grotesque bodies
=B7 embodying and transgressing gender/race/class/sexuality
=B7 training/normalizing/shaping bodies
=B7 technologized/cyborg/virtual bodies
=B7 scientific/medical representations of the body
=B7 bodies used and abused
=B7 modern/postmodern bodies
Interested participants should submit panel proposals and/or 20-minute
paper abstracts of approximately 350 words by September 30, 2002 either
by airmail or e-mail. Selected papers will be published in the
conference proceedings.
