Call for Papers
Abstracts are invited for papers that seek to describe and interpret sites of
memory as cultural locations, persons, artifacts, expressions, and as creative
constructions in Toni Morrison’s fiction.
Particular attention will be given to those papers that address the sites of
memory in Beloved, but papers on all of the works, employing a variety of
approaches, will be considered. A special session will be devoted to the
usefulness of sites of memory in teaching Morrison’s novels. Abstracts should
be no more than one page in length and should be submitted by January 15, 2005.
