San Antonio College 14th Annual Multicultural Conference April 22-24, 2008
The body is powerful and those interested in power have long used it to
accomplish their ends. The desire to own the body and its
representations drives the fashion industry, entertainment, politicians.
Racists define human value according to the body; the abortion debate is
ultimately about who owns the body, as is the question of decency in the
pornography debate.

Conference and Seminar Series. For the 2008 conference, we will consider
the effects on literature of some of the scientific revolutions of the
nineteenth-century, such as biological evolution, the magnitude of geologic
time and consequent interpretations about the history of the earth, and the
