Panel--Langston Hughes: Authenticity, Performance, and the Voice

American Literature Association
Memorial Day Weekend 2008
Hyatt Embarcadero
San Francisco, CA

Authenticity as a concept first attained prominence in literary studies
during the 1960s along with the rise of so-called confessional poetry and
anti-war protest poetry. Since then, the idea that literature should
accurately represent the writer’s experiences and views, in fact should
represent his or her own voice on the page, has remained largely dominant
despite some notable detractors.

CFP: [Cultural-Historical] Battleground States 2008: The Body and Culture

updated:

Colin Helb

The 2008 Battleground States Conference will explore the still contested
and always over-determined term: "the body." The human body, both as a
site of agency and subjectivity and as an object of knowledge, features
prominently in the work of disciplines from all branches of the academy.
However, rather than limit ourselves to this meaning, the Battleground
States Conference will be a space in which different but interconnected
meanings of "the body" (human bodies, bodies of land, bodies of work,
canonical bodies, bodies politic) can be discussed, debated, and explored
together. Thus this conference seeks presenters interested in exploring

Papers adressing the complex issues of the methods, processes, difficulties, and ecstatic successes
of eighteenth-century self-improvement are welcomed for a panel entitled "18th-Century Self-
Improvement: Reinvention and Revolution" to be held during the South Central Society for 18th-
Century Studies' annual meeting February 21-23, 2008 in beautiful, reinvented New Orleans.

For the purposes of our conversations in February (and beyond), we will define "self-improvement"
broadly to include essays about spiritual, emotional, physical, political, and geographic
improvement, but are especially interested in essays that emphasize the intersections between
literature and culture.

The Composition and Rhetoric Area of the PCA/ACA seeks papers/projects
addressing the intersection of Popular Culture with Composition studies
and/or Rhetoric, as each of these terms can be most broadly construed.
We are interested in popular representations of writing, rhetoric, and
instruction in both, as well as the composed or rhetorical nature of
culture as expressed in popular artifacts. Topics include, but are not
limited to:

broad ‘genre’ distinctions play out in the realm of gender? Is literary
production ‘feminised’ in relation to a ‘masculinised’ philosophy? And
what can be said about the gendering of genres within disciplines:
