Call For Papers: Latino/a Focus Group ATHE

The Latino/a Focus Group of the Association of Theatre in Higher Education
invites panel proposals or individual paper proposals for the Association
for Theatre in Higher Education¹s 2007 conference, ²Regenerations: Theatre
and Performance as a Regenerative Force, with New Orleans as the Reference
Point² held July 26-29th in New Orleans, LA. Given the conference¹s venue,
we are particularly interested in papers that engage the intersection of
critical race theory and the historically contingent concept of American
identity or ³Americanness² in theatre and performance. Given the conference
theme, we also welcome panels that engage regeneration as a paradigm within
which to view theatre and performance. We encourage panels and papers that
bring together scholars and artists in dialogue, and alternative and
innovative formats. While we welcome all panels and papers that address the
theme broadly, we encourage submissions that address the following subjects:
 
New Orleans-based performance
 
Racialized bodies and performance, particularly comparative studies of
racialized bodies in theatrical production
 
New methodologies in Latino/a and Latin American Performance, ³regenerating²
theory in Latino/a and Latin American Performance
 
Redefinitions of Americanness/Americasness
 
Diaspora and Return
 
(Im)migration and cultural citizenship
 
Intersections of space and identity, geography and politics, and the
possibilities for transformation
 
Panel proposals should be submitted on-line using the ATHE website
(http://www.athe.org <http://www.athe.org/> ) by 1 November 2006. Only
complete panel proposals will be considered. Individual paper proposals,
consisting of a 250-word abstract, should be e-mailed to Patricia Ybarra,
(Patricia_Ybarra_at_Brown.edu) Latino Focus Group Conference Planner at by
October 15, 2006. Please read the instructions below so as to best prepare
your paper or panel proposal.
 
IMPORTANT INFO ABOUT SUBMITTING PROPOSALS
 
PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL TECHNOLOGY REQUESTS AND GRANT REQUESTS MUST ALSO BE
SUBMITTED BY NOVEMBER 1. (ATHE cannot accommodate AV needs submitted after
November 1 without substantial cost to the individual presenter.)
 
2. Individual paper must include paper title and contact information, and
must specify any AV needs. ATHE does not accept individual paper submissions
-- DO NOT submit your individual proposal on the ATHE website. (Again, AV
needs must be submitted by November 1. ATHE cannot accommodate AV needs
submitted after that date without substantial cost to the individual

3. You are encouraged to use the ATHE-LFG listserve in order to circulate
panel proposals, paper ideas, to ask questions and to brainstorm ideas. If

4. Presenters wishing to create multidisciplinary panels must contact the
Focus Group Conference Planners for each of the THREE groups they propose as
sponsors (note that the new ATHE requirement specifies 3 supporting groups).
 
5. Presenters proposing programs outside of the traditional panel format
are asked to be specific in their proposals concerning the structure and
number of participants so that ATHE can be notified about space/time needs.
 
6. Presenters who wish to submit grant requests for AV support (or other
items) are encouraged to contact the Focus Group Conference Planner in
