Papers on all aspects of captivity narratives are encouraged for our
2004 meeting. Participants may consider literal and figurative
emotional and psychological forms of captivity as they appear in
various narrative forms. Past topics have examined narratives
concerning Puritan and Native American relations in Early America;
slavery in different historical and cultural contexts; religious
intolerance and persecution; prisoners of war and political exile;
kidnapping and abduction; and spousal and child abuse. Narratives
include canonical as well as non-canonical pieces of literature,
legends, and other popular writings; oral histories; political and
historical writings; films, television and radio programs, and other
mass media. Participants may consider how various captivity narratives
cross paths with issues of race and ethnicity; religion; gender;
political dispositions; and ideologies.

Papers that address any aspect of narratives of captivity are welcome.
