CALL FOR PAPERS
"Mutation and Mutability: Encounters with Change"
Second Annual University College London Postgraduate Conference
Institute of English Studies, University of London, 4 March 2004
This year the University College London Postgraduate conference focuses
on
'Mutation and Mutability': individuals, cultures, and the arts
encountering
change. We investigate how change is contested or celebrated; received
as
monstrous, traumatic, cataclysmic; revelatory, revolutionary,
evolutionary.
Likewise we examine how spatial, generic and formal mutations relate to
temporal instability and ephemerality.
We invite proposals for papers in the fields of Literature, Film
Studies,
and Cultural Studies.
Suggested topics for papers might include, but are not limited to, the
following:
-- the mutation of genre(s)
-- bodily mutation and change
-- cultural monstrosity
-- bodily mutation and horror cinema
-- the mutability of form
-- mutable identities and personae
-- the mutation of theory
-- digital cinema and the mutable frame
-- impermanence and dissolution
-- the mutable academy
-- mutation and trauma: the psyche
-- revisionism and the mutability of history
-- change v. reiteration
-- hypertext as mutable form
-- toward complexity/simplicity, order/disorder
We are seeking 250 word proposals for 20 minute papers.
The deadline for submission is: 31 December 2003.
