CHALLENGING THE BOUNDARIES
At the close of the twentieth century transformations occasioned by the
emergence of a global postmodern cyberculture made us increasingly
uncertain about boundaries separating traditionally accepted dualities.
Yet, just as we have started to feel comfortable within the fluidity of
once-stable boundaries we are, once again, confronted with new
distinctions that are being set up as a result of the recent political
events that shook the whole world. In the wake of new categorizations or
perhaps new problematizations it is significant that the 23rd annual
meeting of PALA will take place in Istanbul, an ancient symbolic city
which some associate with "hybridity" and others with "boundary."
Hence, it is the aim of PALA 2003 Istanbul to explore both the old and
the new boundaries in language and literature from an inter-disciplinary,
multi-faceted and challenging perspective. To that end we seek
submissions that will address , describe, analyze, define, extend,
imagine, apply, reveal , problematize, challenge and even re-assert or
invent textual, disciplinary, ideological, and educational boundaries.
Please send all abstracts and proposals to pala2003@boun.edu.tr by
November 15, 2002.
Receipt of proposals will be confirmed by e-mail.
