African Literature in the Wake of Violence

Africaâ€™s violent history frames much of its fiction and film, but many
writers and filmmakers are turning their attention toward the more
complicated process of moving past violence to the task of rebuilding. We
seek papers on literature and film that deal with issues that emerge in the
wake of violence, such as truth commissions, public and private forms of
grief, refugee camps, and the reinstatement of order.

Please send 250-word abstracts and inquiries to Katy Hanggi
(khanggi_at_emory.edu) by March 15, 2008.

Where the Streets Are Re-namedâ€¦(dis)junctions 2008
Abstract deadline: 2/15/08
In recent years, critical theory has worked hard to challenge the
cartography of scholarly inquiry. As a result, distinguishable borders
between previously exclusive disciplines, critical approaches,
and â€œschools of thoughtâ€ have been increasingly punctured, washed out,
and otherwise blurred. We can no longer read or write from a â€œsedentary
point of view,â€ but must instead negotiate an ever-shifting landscape
that requires new maps.

dialogue across campus divides, and incorporate theoretical, ideological,

contact with student and faculty researchers in other departments for
clarification of ideas and purposes, but work that is based on
substantial considerations of current research is also welcome.
