The Department of English at the University of New England is pleased
to announce that it is sponsoring a one-day Law & Humanities conference
on the theme of "Guilt," at our Westbrook College Campus (in Portland,
Maine) on June 14, 2003. The keynote address will be delivered by
Professor Austin Sarat, founder of the Department of Law, Jurisprudence,
and Social Thought at Amherst College and president of the Association
for the Study of Law, Culture, and the Humanities. We welcome scholars
of law and jurisprudence as well as from across the humanities.
Possible sessions might address the following topics (the list is by no
means exclusive): Aggression; Discipline; Truth & Reconciliation; The
Liberal Subject; Genocide; The Will; Culture/Civilization;
Representation; Capital Punishment; Reparations; Trauma; Natural Law;
Confession; Writing; Individual v. Collective; Sacrifice; Reading; The
Body; Space(s): Public Sites/"Lieux de memoire"/Landscape;
Psychoanalysis.
We invite all interested scholars to organize panels, submit proposals
for individual paper presentations, and/or indicate their interest in
serving as chair/discussant. There will be three sessions during the
conference, each an hour and a half long. To allow time for discussion,
there will be no more than three papers per panel and each presentation
should last no longer than twenty minutes.
All individual proposals must contain three copies of the following: a
page on which you provide your name, address, phone, fax, email, and
title of paper; a brief abstract (250-350 words); and your CV (an
abbreviated version is perfectly acceptable). Panel organizers should
send a brief description of the topic their panel will address. Please
make sure that proposals are complete.
If you are willing to serve as a chair/discussant, please indicate that
on your proposal. We welcome volunteers for those roles from people who
are not submitting proposals for papers. If you would like to be a
chair/discussant, please submit a one-paragraph description of your
interests/area of expertise along with your name, address, phone, fax,
e-mail, and a copy of your CV.
Please submit proposals no later than December 15, 2002 to Prof.
