Panel Title: Hemingway as Father
MLA Conference in Chicago, December 27-30, 2007
 
Much of the existing scholarship on Hemingway and fathers focuses on his relationship or those of his young male characters to his/their father. For this panel, we invite papers that address Hemingway as father. Papers might explore topics such as Hemingway's attitudes toward fatherhood, his parenting philosophy, his relationship to his sons (real and fictional), etc. and/or Hemingway's status as a literary patriarch including but not limited to the commodification of fatherhood through Hemingway's image as "Papa."

Revised description:

I'm putting together a special session for the Chicago MLA in 2007.  The
session will explore experimental writing in the Midwest from a critical
standpoint as it has emerged in the past twenty-five years.  I invite anyone
who is interested to send me an abstract of 250 words concerning your
proposed topic.  I don't have anything specific in mind, so I'm interested
in seeing what people will come up with from any "experimental" genre.
 Please submit abstracts to wallegre_at_iun.edu by 3/15/07
