Rowlandson may have set a classroom standard for captivity narratives in American literature classes, but there are many, many other stories to be considered. In addition to those captured by Native Americans, slave narratives also tell stories of life in captivity. These narratives are not limited to an American tradition; many folk and fairy tales preceded these examples. Other cultures, continents, and nations have tales to tell. Today’s news coverage of 21st century piracy indicates that captivity narratives are current events. And, Hollywood has often turned to POW plotlines for feature films.
Topics might include, but are not limited to:
• Historical and cultural contexts of captivity narratives
• The roles of gender, class, colonization, and power in these stories
• Traditions of the captivity narrative in Asia, Africa, Europe, or South America
• Adaptation of stories from literature or news coverage to film
• The narrative structures of captivity tales
Proposal Deadline: December 15, 2008
