The MLA Discussion Group in Media and Literature invites proposals
for the approved special session, "Novel History/ Media History."

The history of the novel as media history, and vice versa; the
mediation of novelistic genres, forms, modes. We are interested in
work emerging out of the intersection of novel and media history and
theory, from a range of historical periods and national literatures.

Please submit your proposal (500 words maximum) and a short c.v.
electronically by the deadline of March 1, 2007. (Proposal should be
within the text of the email, not an attachment; c.v. as attachment
is OK)
