Call for Papers:
DEFINING THE NEW: EXPERIMENTS AND INNOVATIONS IN ENGLISH STUDIES
Abstract Deadline: 9/1/10
Conference Date: 10/22-23/10
Ohio University, Athens, Ohio
Keynote Address by: Anne Francis Wysocki
Special Reading by: Imad Rahman
“Literature is news that stays news.”
-Ezra Pound
It was Alexander Pope who remarked “the sound must seem an echo to the sense,” while Ezra Pound admonished writers to “make it new.” This conference seeks to explore how theorists, critics, compositionists, essayists, fictionists, poets, and other writers have defined or used different critical paradigms, as well as experimented with different forms to make their writing new or to more perfectly echo their sense.
This conference will dovetail with a feature of critical essays on the history and future of experimental writing in Quarter After Eight, a literary journal focused on innovative writing. All conference papers will be considered for publication in this feature.
We are looking for work from the fields of Comparative Literature, Composition Studies, Creative Writing, Critical Theory, Folklore, Linguistics, Literary History, Rhetoric, and other disciplines related to literary study.
Please submit a 1-2 page abstract or a 5-10 page representative sample of your creative work by September 1, 2010 to:
Defining the New: Experiments and Innovations in English Studies
Ohio University Department of English
