The College English Association, a gathering of scholar-teachers in English studies, welcomes proposals for presentations for our 42nd annual conference.

Our debut title, Cthulhurotica, is an anthology of weird erotica inspired by H.P. Lovecraft, and will include academic essays as well. The non-fiction portion of the anthology will focus on the modernization of the Cthulhu mythos through the inclusion of women, people of color, LGBT characters, and sexuality. We are seeking short essays on the above subjects (which MUST focus on Lovecraft or his mythos and not simply about sexuality in fiction).

We are printing a trade paperback, 6"x9" and will also offer an ebook. Our planned publication date is December 1, 2010.

LITERATURE AND TRANSGRESSION

THE THIRD INTERNATIONAL "LITERATURE AND …" GRADUATE STUDENT CONFERENCE
2-3 May, 2011, Istanbul University

"Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression."
- Romans 4:15

"Are not laws dangerous which inhibit the passions? Compare the centuries of anarchy with those of the strongest legalism in any country you like and you will see that it is only when the laws are silent that the greatest actions appear."
- Marquis de Sade

Much has been said about bodies, yet the body still remains one of the most contested concepts in fields such as anthropology, art, history, literature, medicine, philosophy, religion, and gender/sexuality. In *An Essay Concerning Human Understanding* (1689), John Locke noted that all "are born into the world, being surrounded by bodies that perpetually and diversely affect them." By conceptualizing the world as one of bodies in contact, his assertion prefaced a growing eighteenth-century preoccupation with corporeality. This panel seeks to explore such investigations of the body by examining how these figures wrote about and experienced bodies, health, illness, contagion, mixture, and death.
