NEMLA 2011
The Specter of Degeneration in 19th Century Literature
(Comparative Literature Session)
Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ
April 7-10, 2011
We invite papers analyzing degeneration in Western and non-Western works of, or portraying, the 19th century. What do fictions of degeneration tell us about the scientific, sexual and cultural politics of the 19th century? In what contexts is the fear of degeneration exacerbated or sublimated at the end of the century? How does contemporaneous biological theory become literature? Comparative approaches and papers dealing with 19th century popular literature welcomed.
Please send 400 word abstracts to Ana Oancea, aio2101@columbia.edu by 30 September 2010, including your university affiliation and AV needs.
More information on the 2011 convention is available on the NEMLA website: www.nemla.org.
