Announcement and First Call for Papers
|
21st Southern Writers Symposium--Methodist University
Conference Theme: Intra/Inter-American Connections
Conference Dates: February 25-26, 2011
Fayetteville, North Carolina
Organizers seek papers that explore connections between the literature of the U.S. South and that of the rest of the Americas, including Latin American literature, Canadian literature, and literature associated with the United States as a whole rather than with the South in particular. Presenters might explore ways in which specific southern writers, general trends in southern literature, and themes considered uniquely southern connect to writers, trends, and themes outside the U.S. South but within the Americas. The organizers especially solicit proposals for papers or panels exploring the relationship between southern and Latin American literature. Building on Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s claim that “Latin America begins at the Mason Dixon line,” the twenty-first Southern Writers Symposium will highlight similarities and influences connecting the literatures produced below that line. However, papers exploring connections between the South and the rest of the United States, and/or Canada, are also welcome.
