Old English session I and II

The meeting of The South Atlantic Modern Language Association

November 9-12, 2006

Charlotte, North Carolina

=20

Session I: "Lit. & Lang."

One cannot fully appreciate Old English (Anglo-Saxon) literature without
an appreciation of Old English itself. This session invites papers that
explore how interpretations of the language shape our interpretation of
the literature, and vice-versa. Papers discussing issues related to the
teaching of Old English are also encouraged.

Session II: Vision and Text

Call for Papers: Additional Proposals Sought

Please note that the deadline for paper proposals has been extended to 11/25/06.
   
    The Ninth Annual Red River Conference on World Literature
  North Dakota State University, Fargo
  April 21-23, 2006
   
  This proposed panel will examine the ways in which the writer/survivor negotiates his or her role in narrating the Holocaust. As Charlotte Delbo tells us in the headnote to her three-volume trilogy, Auschwitz and After, ?Today I am not sure that what I wrote is true. I am certain it is truthful.? Thus for a writer such as Delbo, the purpose of testimony is both to convey personal experience and to commemorate silenced voices.

Below please find our updated CFP. There is a new submission date, some
changes to the features section call, and a new call for our review
section.

Thanks,
Erin Hill
