CFP: The Da Vinci Code Controversy (5/10/05; SAMLA, 11/4/05-11/6/05)

The popular success of Dan Brown's novel has fueled debate on a number of
related topics, including many books and university courses which seek to
debunk the underlying claims regarding the interpretations of art and
history, membership in secret societies, as well as feminism and religion.

How do these popularized theories and beliefs enter into academic
discussions, either scholarly or within the classroom? Abstracts and papers
are invited which examine the issues raised by the renewal of popular
interest in these arcane or apocryphal texts, their interpretations and
their validity. Contact or send proposals to Brad Bowers, Dept. of English,
Barry University, 11300 N.E. 2nd Ave., Miami Shores, FL 33161 or by email
<bbowers_at_mail.barry.edu>.
