[UPDATE] CFP: Bad Taste [DEADLINE EXTENDEND UNTIL August 1, 2010]

updated: 
Tuesday, July 13, 2010 - 9:33pm
22nd Annual Tufts University English Graduate Organization Conference

Thursday, October 21, 2010
Keynote Address: Professor Martin Puchner, Harvard University

ABOUT THE CONFERENCE:
Bad Taste: we know it when we see it, and yet we do not always know what to do with it. Sometimes celebrated and sometimes repudiated, the forms, genres, images, and topics associated with the category of bad taste are always provocative.

In celebration of our conference's 22nd Anniversary, we are interested in investigating bad taste. We seek to explore the ways in which bad taste is identified and utilized. How does the category of taste create and reify genres? What role does taste play in a consumer society? If Bad Taste can evoke shame or pride, how do we evaluate or classify it in terms of affect?
