MCLLM Conference: 10th Anniversary
03.28.2003 - 03.29.2003

The Northern Illinois University's *Midwest Conference on Literature,
Language, and Media [MCLLM) announces a CFP for one or more sections on
Family Systems Psychotherapy and Literature.

The first panel is on "fst and low modernism," that is, 20th & 21st C.
works (fiction, film, drama, even lyric poetry) of what we'd call the
sub-genre variety: detective/crime fiction, the Beatles and music-related
films, espionage novels, science fiction, fantasy of the type exemplified
by Jasper Fford's The Eyre Affair, the Harry Potter phenomenon, etc., as
any of those could be better informed by an fst reading. The panel will
consist of three papers -- read ahead of time by members of the panel and
abstracted for the audience. After a 12 minute presentation each, the
floor would be opened for discussion -- of fst, of the works of literature
criticized, and of the genre of low modernism generally.

If enough submissions are received, more than one panel will be created
for a Family Systems Theory Group. Contact the Directors at:
