CALL FOR PAPERS
NEW DEADLINE--September 15
"What's Left of the Public Sphere?"
For a roundtable at the International Society for Eighteenth Century
Studies (ISECS 2003) meeting in Los Angeles, I invite proposals for
papers on the question "What's Left of the Public Sphere?," as
described below:
Jürgen Habermas' influential model of the public sphere learned from
and contributed to eighteenth century studies. But the concept of
the public sphere has been increasingly criticized recently, even as
it is used to describe such new technologies as the world wide web.
This panel asks two questions: what remains of the eighteenth-century
idea of the public sphere (both the model and the space); and, is
there a democratic alternative to the public sphere?
ISECS roundtables will have 9 to 11 participants very briefly
summarizing papers previously distributed. This is to allow at least
40 minutes for questions and discussion.
If you are interested in participating, contact Lee Morrissey with
questions and proposals at lmorris@clemson.edu or 801 Strode Tower,
Department of English, Clemson University, Box 340523, Clemson, SC
29634-0523.
Proposals are due by September 15.
