II INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON AMERICAN THEATER AND DRAMA
UNIVERSITY OF MΑLAGA

Acting America: the Plays and the Players

18-20 May 2004

The University of Mαlaga, Spain, will host its second international
conference on American theater and drama from 18-20 May 2004. The
conference is co-organized by the Departments of English, University of
Mαlaga, Georgia State University, Atlanta, and the Department of Modern
Languages, Universitι Libre de Bruxelles.

The general topic is “Acting America: the Plays and the Players,” and we
hope to advance scholarship on the American theater not only by exploring
specific texts and authors, but also by analyzing the stage experience,
from theory to practice. We would like to invite proposals for 20-minute
papers for the following sessions:

-- The plurality of American identity: forming, transgressing,
transcending, gendering, race-ing and erasing the American identity.
-- Acting femininities and masculinities.
-- Alternative stage strategies. Directing American drama.
-- Interpreting war. Race, gender and violence.
-- Performance and innovation.
-- Politics and theater. Language, power and myths in American drama.
-- The ensemble experience.

Suggestions for panels on other related topics and complete panels,
workshops or discussion sessions will be taken into consideration.

The following keynote speakers have confirmed their attendance: Chris
Bigsby, Jerry Dickey, Bonnie Marranca, Marc Maufort, Matthew Roudanι, David
Savran and Susan Harris Smith.

Please send a 500 word abstract, with brief CV, to Lola Narbona at
narbona@uma.es before 15 January 2004.
Other queries should be addressed to Barbara Ozieblo at ozieblo@uma.es or
Ruth Stoner at rastoner@uma.es

Accommodation will be at the historic Seminary, the Casa Diocesana de
Espiritualidad, in Mαlaga, at very reasonable prices.
