Transatlantic Encounters: Redefining Temporality in the Nineteenth Century
45th Annual Convention, Northeast Modern Language Association (NeMLA)
April 3-6, 2014
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania
THIS IS AN UPDATE AND SLIGHTLY ALTERED CFP. PLEASE NOTE THE CHANGE FROM SEEKING NEW VOICES IN THE FIELD TO ANY ARTICLE THAT PRESENTS NON-WESTERN PERSPECTIVES ON INDIGENOUS LITERATURES.
The Understanding Atrocities Conference aims to explore, among other things, the relationship between 'atrocity' and 'genocide,' and how they are interwoven and understood. By approaching the topic of genocidal atrocity within the themes of remembering, representing, and teaching, we hope to engender a discussion across, between, and among the disciplines.

Business/economic fiction: An "unidentified popular genre" or a cultural UpO
In an article titled "Workplace Fiction That's True to Life" published in The New York Times of April 16 2011, the journalist Bryan Burrough wrote: "I've often wondered why there aren't more strong works of fiction dealing with the business world." Every year one can read at least one similar article in a big newspaper or magazine complaining about the lack of novels, or fiction in general, dealing with business and economics. These complaints are partly founded, since what could be called business fictions or economical fictions seems to be rare. But are they so?
