Reading: Images, Texts, Artefacts (Postgraduate Interdisciplinary Conference)
Date: 28 - 29 June 2007

The East Carolina Humor Festival & Conference
November 1 - 3, 2007 - Greenville, NC
 
Humor as an art form rarely attracts the serious attention it deserves. East
Carolina University intends to correct this omission with an inaugural humor
festival and academic conference. In addition to offering an academic
conference in which scholars explore humor in literature, dance, film,
theater, therapy, and art, the three-day inaugural event will feature joke
contests and stand-up and improv comedy, and a film festival.
 
Featured presenters include North Carolina native and author Jill McCorkle,
Texas songwriter and author Kinky Friedman, and poet and NPR commentator
Andrei Codrescu.

CCCC 2008
Feminist Workshop

(Post) Institutionalized Feminism: Defining the ?F-word?

Stuart Hall warned against the institutionalization of feminism saying
that once incorporated into the institution it would lose its vibrant
social and political activism. bell hooks ostensibly agrees with
Hall?s assessment in the 2004 film, ?Is Feminism Dead?? This workshop
seeks to interrogate the supposed ?death? of feminism in our cultural
moment, in which both Women?s Studies departments and ?I am not a
Feminist, but. . .? figure largely. We intend to strategizing
locations for political action from academic and social perspectives
and plot a course to reinvigorate the usefulness of The F-Word.
