Deadline:
September 15, 2008

Location/Date:
40th Anniversary Convention,
Northeast Modern Language Association (NeMLA) Feb. 26-March 1, 2009 Hyatt Regency - Boston, Massachusetts

Description:
Seeking papers for a roundtable on the theme of marginal spaces in the works of Carmen Martín Gaite. How does marginality empower or debilitate? How does it figure in Martín Gaite’s ideas about history and feminism, aesthetics and politics? How does it link her to a feminist canon from which she has been mostly excluded? How can Martín Gaite’s works be repositioned within the Women’s Studies canon, graduate and undergraduate? Range of critical/theoretical approaches welcome. Send abstracts (500 word limit) for 15 minute papers to Elizabeth.Huergo@montgomerycollege.edu. (Requests for a more detailed description are also welcome.)

Please include with your abstract:
Name and Affiliation
Email address
Postal address
Telephone number
A/V requirements (if any; $10 handling fee)

The complete Call for Papers for the 2009 Convention will be posted in June: www.nemla.org.
Interested participants may submit abstracts to more than one NeMLA panel; however, panelists can only present one paper. Convention participants may present a paper at a panel or seminar and also present at a creative session or participate in a roundtable.
