(dis)junctions: romancing heteroglossia (April 9-10, 2004)
Spectral Identities, Landscape & Poetry of Resistance
This call for papers is for a proposed panel to be held at “(Dis)junctions: Romancing Heteroglossia” at the University of California Riverside’s 10th Annual Humanities Conference on April 9-10, 2003.
Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish wrote that “poems can’t establish a state. But they can establish a metaphorical homeland in the minds of the people. I think my poems have built some houses in this landscape […] It is an unfinished voyage, and most Palestinians carry their land as they carry their luggage, because they remain in exile.” What role does landscape play in postcolonial literature? How is identity constructed and/or experienced within a given text/texts?
Contributors are invited to submit papers on any aspect of postcolonial literature and theory which relates to the function of landscape. Potential areas of analysis include (but are not limited to):
Ecocriticism
Modes of feminist resistance
Identity
Historical Memory
One page abstracts should be e-mailed to: tinastavropoulos@yahoo.com by March 8, 2004 (text in the body of the message; please no attachments). The submissions should be no longer than 250 words.
