CALL FOR PAPERS

We invite proposals for papers (in English or French) for panel sessions on the following topics:

Music and Identity
Linguistic Interference and Interlanguage
Beckett
Genre and Experimentation
Visions and Visionaries in the Seventeenth Century
Violence
Creolisation and the Transcultural
France and Scotland
Youth Culture
Incompletion
Les Lettres et les Sciences
Lesbian History, Writing and Culture
Globalisation and Cultural Production
Documentary Aesthetics
Confessions
Provincial Cities

The suggested topics may be interpreted widely and are intended to encompass as broad an historical range as may be applicable. Proposals for complete panels, with names or abstracts of all speakers (3 or 4), may also be submitted but it is unlikely that we will be able to include more than one of these.

Proposals should be accompanied by a short abstract (250-300 words) outlining the argument, and be framed with a view to addressing an audience made up of both specialists and non-specialists, and including your name, institutional affiliation and e-mail address. Papers are selected on the basis of peer review, and you may expect to hear by late October 2005 whether it has been possible to include your paper.

Please send abstracts (preferably by e-mail) by 16th September 2005 to the President of the Society, Professor Diana Knight in the French Department, University of Nottingham:
