We acknowledge our inheritance of various critiques of the Academy, in
which the Academy has been conceived multiply: as an ideological instrument
bent on creating capitalist workers, as the technological bedfellow of the
military-industrial complex, as a site that systematically elides alterior
narratives and reinscribes hegemonic processes, as a location predicated on
a disassemblage of the 'theoretical' from the praxical. We seek in this
conference to provide a dialogic space in which to critique and reconfigure
these radical analyses of 'knowledge-production,' as well as to engage
knowledges and epistemic formations which have been deemed illegitimate or

AAWL.
• Scholars of language variation in American English and scholars
in language variation in the Americas to look at African American
Language (AAL) and AAWL more globally in order to understand the dynamic

Call for papers for a one-day conference
At University of Hull, England
Saturday 10 May 2008

Theme: Silence

Keynote speaker: Dr Maria Aristodemou, Birkbeck University of London

This conference will examine the relationship between literature and
silence. The literary text is often charged with the duty of speaking on
matters otherwise silenced. In the moving testimonies of war-survivors,
literature combats death in giving voice to the silenced. What is at
stake when literary criticism renders eloquent the gaps and silences of
the literary text?

William Buehler Seabrook (1884-1945) was an adventurer and best-selling
Lost Generation writer whose influence on U.S. and global popular culture
has been massive but critically neglected. Seabrook was best known for
his sensational anthropological adventures, The Magic Island (1929), a
chronicle of his stay in U.S. occupied-Haiti and participation in voudun;
and Jungle Ways (1930), a record of his immersion among several tribal
peoples in the Côte d’Ivoire, Liberia, and Mali, in his quest to commit
