The general CFP for the 2010 (dis)junctions conference asks us to take an interdisciplinary approach to “considering the states of crisis across the world.” In keeping with that theme, the Destructive Language panel is asking participants to give performances that generate discussion surrounding the varying degrees to which language itself can cause crisis/destruction. It might also be useful to consider the degrees to which the absence of language, or the censorship of a particular community/people, is a different kind of crisis-causing equation. Benjamin Lee Whorf said: "Language shapes the way we think, and determines what we can think about.” This quote might be used as a jumping off point to considering the impact of language and the repercussions therein.
Candidates for participation have the choice of sending one (or more if you wish) of the following materials:
-link to youtube video that demonstrates a portion of the performance you wish to give
-an abstract (250 words) that gives a good approximation of the forthcoming performance
-the poem itself, in written form
Deadline for submission is March 5th
Submit to: Shannon Tarango at sherv001@ucr.edu
