"Flannery O’Connor: Critical Intersections"

Flannery O'Connor Society, South Central Modern Language Association
Convention, November 6-8, 2008
San Antonio, Texas

Flannery O’Connor’s stories, novels, essays, letters, and interviews reveal a writer concerned with her relationship to the South, to regional identity, and to racial politics. In light of the theme of “Borders” for the 2008 conference of the South Central Modern Language Association, the Flannery O’Connor Society seeks proposals for papers that consider O’Connor’s work as intersecting with a variety of critical disciplines, including (but not limited to) new southern studies, cultural studies, hemispheric American studies, and studies of critical race theory.
