“‘Don’t Say Goodbye to the Pork Pie Hat’: Re –Evaluating Larry Neal’s Creative and Critical Vision of the Black Aesthetic,” an international conference originally scheduled for February 10-12 of 2006 at UNC-Chapel Hill, has been moved and re-scheduled. We are pleased to announce that “Don’t Say Goodbye to the Pork Pie Hat,” will now be hosted by the Department of Africana Studies at Brooklyn College from October 19-21, 2006.
The conference will be a landmark event in assessing the formative influence of this artist, scholar, and cultural worker, and is intended as a critical intervention into the project of black cultural studies. We welcome papers addressing topics specific to the art, activism, and scholarship of Larry Neal, and are particularly interested in analyses of Neal’s work that more broadly examine the relationship between the Black Arts Movement and the formation of contemporary black American cultural studies.
Each session will be composed of a moderator and/or respondent and three to four panelists whose presentations will not exceed thirty minutes.
We are renewing the call for papers. Please send paper titles and abstracts to the organizers at cmathes@duke.edu and hendersm@email.unc.edu, by April 10, 2006.
