Northampton, 11-13 July 2003
Plenary Speakers: Susan Bassnett, Simon During, Bart Moore Gilbert
Call for papers:
Papers are invited on the theme of 'Inside the Whale: The Postcolonial and
Globalisation'. The conference seeks to explore the tensions existing
between economic, political and cultural global forces and the resistances
and adaptations to them that come from local and regional identities. It
aims to re-examine the meaning of the 'post-colonial' in the light of recent
world developments. Aspects of this theme may include the following:
· New modes: the Gothic and Exotic
· Post-Colonial Theory Now
· Identities and Locations
· Translating Cultures
· Travel, Tourism and Terrorism
· Networking the Postcolonial: Teaching and Publishing
· Re-branding the Popular
· Deterritorialised Nationalities
· Asylum and Exile
· New uses of History
Contributions from disciplines other than literary and cultural studies are
welcome. Suggestions for panel discussions are also invited. The conference
will include readings from noted writers.
Abstracts of approximately 300 words should be sent by 28 February 2003 to
Janet.Wilson@northampton.ac.uk; offers for convening panels to the same
address.
The conference proceedings will be published in the journal, World
Literature Written in English which is now edited from The School of
Cultural Studies.
