Submissions are invited for a proposed panel for the Eighteenth Annual British Women Writers Conference, April 8-11, 2010, in College Station, TX. With the conference's theme of "Journeys," this panel will examine the voyages Fashion made in the nineteenth century to and through the British Empire, and how the Empire abroad was worn at home in England. Of particular concern to this panel is how nineteenth-century British women writers understood, critiqued, and explored the imperial origins of fashion and dress, and how this emphasizes awareness of the political implications of seemingly domestic and feminine matters.

Imagining Other Histories: The SW/TX PCA/ ACA in the area of Historical Fiction invites papers on the role of history and alternate history in fiction. To what extent have fiction writers, poets, filmmakers, myth makers, and other producers of pop culture bent the paths of history into different directions, into ur worlds, friendlier worlds, bleak worlds, parallel worlds, idealist worlds? Take, for example, the way that the reality of African American history was initially omitted from standard American historical accounts and the paths of history were bent toward the hegemony of a White world.

Zadie Smith: After the First Decade 4/7-11/2010

This panel will draw together examinations of Zadie Smith's fiction (including early short stories) and/or her journalism a decade after her first major publication White Teeth (2000). Surprisingly little has been published on the writer by academics, and yet her work appears on courses worldwide. The proposed panel will consider whether new perspectives might be introduced that can cast new critical light on variously, her fictional oeuvre, her public pronouncements, and the emphasis of much of her critical and journalistic writing.
