Making Sense: Thinking & Feeling Texts. April 15-17, 2010

updated: 
Saturday, January 2, 2010 - 4:00pm
The University of Virginia Department of English

Why do we feel when we read? From catharsis in tragedy to laughter in comedy, many types of art can be categorized by the sensual reaction we have while we experience them. But our understanding of these reactions can at times seem limited to the biological. Our senses do not just perceive the physical; they serve physiologically liminal roles which govern our interactions with the world surrounding us. This conference will investigate both the role of sense in perceiving the textual and the sensory aspects of texts. Topics will include the five physical senses, affect and sensibility, and the ways in which relationships with other people and environments are conducted and understood through the senses.

Keith Dorwick

For much of its history, literature written for young people has been concerned with the idea of names. One might think of the conversation between the White Knight and Alice in which what a song is called is sharply (if nonsensically) distinguished from its name, or of Ged's long search for his own shadow's name. For this panel, a collaboration between the American Name Society and the MLA Division for Children's Literature, co-chairs Keith Dorwick of the University of Louisiana at Lafayette and Donna Lillian, East Carolina University, seek five hundred word abstracts.

Anne Bruder / Bryn Mawr College

Until relatively recently,hand embroidery, lace tatting, and vegetable canning might have suggested female confinement and domestic malaise to some. Now as Second Wave feminists begin to retire from their working lives outside the home, new generations of women have reappropriated their mothers' and grandmothers' needle and the spool, turning granny squares and crocheted doilies into fashionable accessories, symbols of a new and liberated domesticity. In their construction of intimate communities of unseen multitudes, female bloggers have both documented and propelled this movement. This panel seeks to investigate the intersection of identity formation, new domesticity, and internet technologies. We ask what kind of selves are produced on blogs? How

Title of session: Rethinking Style
Submission requirements: 250 word abstracts.
Deadline for submissions: 1 Mar. 2010

Co-sponsored with the Division on Teaching of Writing.

Although "style" was one of the five canon's of ancient rhetoric and a key part of rhetorical pedagogy, today many scholars worry that the field has paid less attention to this canon than it might. Drawing on ancient and/or contemporary rhetorical theories, papers should consider how to reinvigorate the study and teaching of style in the field of rhetoric and composition.
