Submissions of scholarly and creative work are currently being sought for
the third annual Craft, Critique, Culture conference to be held at the
University of Iowa March 28-30, 2003.
Craft, Critique, Culture is an interdisciplinary conference which works to
bridge the gap between critical and creative approaches to writing. This
year's conference will have a special focus on creative work which mutates
traditional generic, cultural, and national boundaries. How can writing
enact social and political transgression? How can it effect social change?
Can work which takes place alongside and across geographical and cultural
interstices offer alternatives to the dominant modes of language and, if
so, what are its implications? How can we read popular literatures in the
context of a financially and socially authorized discourse?
This year's keynote speakers will be Rachel Blau DuPlessis and Aldon
Nielsen, both known for their investigations into cultural meanings of
innovative work as well as for their own poetry. In addition, Mark A.
Nowak and Wang Ping, from the journal XCP: Cross-Cultural Poetics, will
present original work. For more detailed biographies of the speakers as
well as further information on the conference, please visit our webpage at
<www.uiowa.edu/~c3conf>.
We invite submissions by scholars and creative writers from a range of
disciplines--including literary studies, communications studies, cultural
studies, creative writing, theatre, film, music, and art history--to
present formal papers or creative work, including poetry fiction, creative
non-fiction, and multimedia presentations. Possible topics include but are
