Race and Performance in American Literature and Culture
41st Anniversary Convention, Northeast Modern Language Association (NeMLA)
April 7-11, 2010
Montreal, Quebec - Hilton Bonaventure
This panel will investigate the ways race and performance are linked in American literature and the theoretical complexities involved in the performance of race. The panel will also examine the disruptive potential of racial performance and its ability to expose the hollowness of racist discourse. Finally, it will consider the legacy of early forms of racial discourse and their influence on contemporary performances of race. Papers that take a comparative approach to the study of racialization are highly encouraged. Please send abstracts to Kristin Moriah:

Please include with your abstract:
Name and Affiliation
Email address
Postal address

A/V requirements (if any; $10 handling fee)
