The Victorian Division of the MLA will be devoting three sessions to the
topic of "VICTORIAN HYBRIDS" at the 2004 convention in Philadelphia. Here are the
descriptions for each session. Please indicate the session to which you are
applying. You must be a member of MLA to deliver a talk at the convention
(applications accepted by MLA through 30 June).
HYBRIDS (1): DOUBLE FORMS: How do the multiple uses of sequels,
pendants, textual and intertextual foils, literary forgeries, divisions, and
seri-arearrangements betoken distinctly new modes of perception and
representation?
HYBRIDS (2): GENERIC MIXES: How characteristically "Victorian" are
the cross-generic and interdisciplinary splicings so prevalent in the era?
How are such mixings related to the emergence of new cross-cultural and
cross-generational audiences?
HYBRIDS (3): PSYCHOSOCIAL AMALGAMS: How does the transhistorical and
transnational yoking of disparate eras and races revise binaries from earlier
periods (Ancients vs. Moderns, urban vs. pastoral, metropole vs. colonial,
etc)?
Please submit a 1-page abstract by 10 March 2004 to
Professor U. C. Knoepflmacher: uknopf@princeton.edu
