"Britain in the Twentieth Century: Homeland? Haven? Exile?"
CFP: Rhetoric and Science
(dis)junctions: lost in translation
April 7-8, 2006
This panel is concerned with the question of how science and scientific
dialogues have influenced national rhetoric. Some questions we seek to
examine are:
How has our vision of the place of science in everyday secular society
changed in the past fifty to one hundred years, or even in the past twenty?
How has science affected American political rhetoric?
How have the rhetorics of science and religion shaped each other through
the debate over Darwinism and intelligent design?
How has the rhetoric of science altered the way we understand or
conceptualize works in the humanities?
Proposals are invited for 20-minute papers on the above subject. All =
approaches, topics, and methodologies welcome. We are especially =
interested in questions of authorship, authority, and the masculine =
corporeal imaginary in American writing; disabilities as masculine =

Abstracts invited: "Breaking New Ground on Andrew Lytle," a proposed
session for the American Literature Association's annual conference in
San Francisco, 25-28 May 2006.
After a decade of near-obscurity, Andrew Nelson Lytle has reemerged as a
pertinent figure in southern literary history. In the work of Richard
Gray, for instance, Lytle's career serves as a handy example of how a
southern cultural and literary orthodoxy came to be. The fiction,
however, remains largely neglected. To begin a remedy, this session
seeks new interpretations and new approaches. Possible topics for papers
might include:
