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.

PASSAGES
Inspired by the St. Louis Gateway Arch, CEA pays tribute to St. Louis and
to the many pioneers who passed through its threshold, risking the world
they knew for nothing more (or less) than the promise of a new beginning.
Our theme for the 2008 conference is PASSAGES.

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
