The Flannery O'Connor Society (SAMLA) invites papers or proposals on "The
Problem of Displacement in Flannery O'Connor's Works and Life" for the
annual meeting of the South Atlantic Modern Language Association, held
November 14-16, 2003 in Atlanta, GA.
Deadline: 3/28/03
The Society welcomes varying interpretations of "displacement," whether
related to the author's life, letters, or works. Displaced persons,
misfits, and trickster figures populate O'Connor's fiction, and depending
on the reader's point of view, they either punctuate or pervert the
author's intent. Whether they be explorations of location, the body,
religion, or the mind or analyses of theme or characterization, papers
should uncover the "roots" of that which has been "displaced."
Submissions should be eight to ten (8-10) typed pages with an anticipated
reading time of fifteen to twenty minutes. Please submit as an e-mail
attachment (in Word for Windows or WordPerfect) one copy of the completed
paper or a two-three page abstract to lpaige@gasou.edu. Additionally, send
regular mail one hard copy of the paper or abstract, along with Personal
Contact Information, including phone and e-mail, to the session Chair:
Dr. Linda Rohrer Paige
Department of Literature and Philosophy
P. O. Box 8023
Georgia Southern University
Statesboro, GA 30460-8023
Include SASE for return of hard copy materials. Inquiries may be made via
e-mail.
