Deleuze: Texts and Images

The 9th Annual University of South Carolina Comparative Literature Conference,
An International Conference

5th - 8th April, 2007

Over the past two decades, readers of the works of Gilles Deleuze have had
several opportunities to participate in international conferences held at Trent
University and organized by Constantin V. Boundas. In that tradition, we
announce the organization of a conference to take place on the campus of the
University of South Carolina(Columbia, SC, USA), between April 5 and 8, 2007,
sponsored by the Program in Comparative Literature , the English Department,
and the College of Arts and Sciences.

CALL FOR PAPERS:

Early Modern Women Writers Across Borders

A session at the annual meeting of the Renaissance Society of America,
22-24 March 2007 in Miami, Florida

Early modern women writers are frequently examined in terms that are
limited to their own countries. And yet, we might fruitfully compare
women writers in different countries and look at how women writers
themselves transcended national boundaries, by participating in
international debates, translating texts, situating themselves in
relation to writers from abroad, and in numerous other ways.

  This is final conference of a 3-part international,
interdisciplinary conference series. Conference participation is
limited to allow for dialogue around presentation topics. Abstracts
are due 5 July 2006. The conference is 10-12 August 2006, Prague,
Czech Republic. Submissions are welcome from any field of study that
seeks to understand the impact=A0of current political, social and
economic trends, on humanity and its ideas and institutions,
including philosphy, religion, political science, economics,
anthropology, sociology, psychology, cultural studies, literature and
poetry, and=A0visual arts.
