Acacia Group's 2006 Conference: Politicizing texts
The Acacia Group of California State University, Fullerton is seeking papers
for our 2006 conference to be held February 17 and 18, 2006. We are
interested in papers/presentations for the following suggested panel:
 
 
Imperfect Copies: Hybridity/Mimicry
As postcolonial theorist Homi Bhabha posits his idea of hybridity and
mimicry in The Location of Culture, inexact, or displaced doubling may create
parodies of social hegemonies that carry the potential to disrupt the naturalized
norms. How does the idea/practice of creating an imperfect copy function in
literature?
 
We are accepting completed paper submissions only, no abstracts, please.
Creative writing/productions/performance contributions are encouraged to
function as commentaries on or expressions of any and all topics listed, or, they
may be submitted individually for special panel consideration. Submissions that
will not be presented in written form (performances, art, etc.) must include
a brief (1-2) page explanation of the submission's relevance to the
topic/theme, materials used, and concepts explored. All presentations, whether
written, performed, or shown, may not exceed 20 minutes.
 
Submission Deadline: December 17, 2005
