Anna Fahraeus

This call for papers was earlier sent out under the rubric "Literature
and Ethics".

TEXT AND ETHICS: This is an open call for submission proposals of
300-400 words for a book to be published in the fall of 2004.. We aim
to clarify further the continuum that exists between descriptive and
interpretive criticism of the treatment of issues that can be termed
ethical in texts and in production (including the production of
criticism itself), and ethical criticism as a reader or cultural
response practice, whether the focus is on e.g. fiction, autobiography,
biography, poetry, microhistory, etc. The texts can be theoretical or
based on closer readings of specific texts.
