Odia Ofeimun: A Life of Literature and Political Activism

"Monuments"
Submissions are now sought for the eleventh issue of Variations, the journal=
 of literature of the University of Zurich, to appear in winter 2003.

Number 11 of Variations (Winter 2003) will focus on the topic of
monuments and, more generally, on the issue of the monumental. The
following questions are at the core of our interest:

- To what extent can a literary text be regarded as a monument and
thus as a memorial? What are the formal, textual and stylistic
characteristics of the monumental text (e.g. Proust's work considered
as a cathedral or Moby Dick as a monument of a nation)? Or is it
instead the recipient who characterizes the text as monumental?

Experiences

The CEA Critic--the official journal of the College English
Association--invites scholarly articles that focus on texts--fiction,
nonfiction, poetry, drama, film, television--that college English
teachers use in the literaturare or composition classroom and articles
that apply critical approaches to what and how we teach. Articles that
apply close readings of literary texts are particularly welcome.

Accepted manuscripts of 15-25 typed pages--in MLA style--will be edited
to conform to house style. The College English Association holds the
copyright to all articles accepted and published
in The CEA Critic.

Original essays are invited for a collection of essays tentatively
entitled The Productivity of Pain. For long, pain has been coded as a
means to salvation and knowledge, and as a stimulus to writing. Or else
it has been objectified as the truth´s negative, something that far from
ennobling human beings distances them from their affects. The logic is
not hard to stomach. Pain poses a threat to identity by making the body
alien. Sartre, in fact, confessed that illness deprived him of himself.
But, within the same movement, pain confers identity to the individual
because nobody can suffer for you, instead of you, just as nobody can
die for you. Physical suffering is thus one of the most private of
