UK Network Summer Seminar Series 2005 Call For Papers

Co-convened for UKNMFS by Dr. Sonya Andemahr (University College
Northampton), Steven Barfield (University of Westminster), Dr. Andrew
Eastham, and Prof. Philip Tew (University College Northampton)

The UK Network for Modern Fiction Studies Summer Seminar Series 2005 is
to be held at 309 Regent Street, the University of Westminster , London
UK.

These research seminars are for Visiting Scholars to London who wish to
present their work in the summer months, and it follows on from the
successful series that ran in London in 2004. A whole variety of topics
were the subject of papers, but we welcome those from a broad range of
relevant fields beyond simply a narrow conception of fiction, including
literary and cultural studies after 1890, critical theory and
philosophy, narratology and narrative theories, the sociology of
literature, biography and autobiography, travel writing, and gender
studies.

The papers from the 2004 sessions are currently under consideration for
inclusion in the first issue of the UKNMFS Journal: Critical
Engagements: A Journal of Literature and Theory. Editors: Prof. Philip
Tew (University College Northampton), Steven Barfield (University of
Westminster), Dr. Lawrence Phillips (Liverpool Hope University College)
and Special Guest Editor for 2005: Dr. Caryn Maureen Voiskul (Art
Institute of Texas).

All papers presented in the 2005 series will be considered for inclusion
in the second issue of the journal (which will be published in 2006).

Submissions: Please send an email with your name, the title and a short
abstract of the proposed paper that you would like to read (no more than
35 minutes) and your institutional affiliation and contact details to
Dr. Andrew Eastham as soon as possible: aeastham_at_fsmail.net
