Call For Conference Papers: “The Writer on Writing, The Artist on Art”
Equinoxes 2004

The Department of French Studies at Brown University announces its 12th annual Graduate Conference

March 12-13, 2004

We invite graduate students to present 15-minute papers relevant to the
theme of the writer on writing, or the artist on art, as it pertains to
literary and artistic creation. While keeping the topic as broad as
possible, we hope to focus on the complex relationships between the
artist-creator and her or his work. We welcome submissions that treat
French and Francophone works, as well as broader cultural or theoretical
issues, from the Middle Ages to the present.

Topics addressed may include, but will not be limited to the following:

- Literary Theory
- Self-Portrait and Autobiography
- The Writer as Protagonist, the Artist as Subject
- Roland Barthes’s “Writerly Text”
- Fictional Author-Characters
- Women Writers on Women(’s) Writing
- The Relationship of Writers and Artists to Creative Expression in the Age of the Internet and the Hypertext
- The Pseudonym and Other Shrouded Identities
- Why Write? Why Create Art?
- Artists Defining Art, Writers Defining Writing

Papers may be presented in French or English. Please send one-page
abstracts for the conference by January 15, 2004 and address all queries
to Equinoxes@ Brown.edu.

The Spring/Summer 2004 Issue of Equinoxes: A Graduate Journal of French
and Francophone Studies will be devoted in part to the proceedings of the
conference. Those wishing to have their articles considered for
