In celebration of the 80th birthday of Edward Kamau Brathwaite, the Seventh Workshop on Caribbean Theory and Criticism will be held on Wednesday December, 8 2010 and will be focused on the work of this significant Caribbean artist and scholar. His contributions to the theorizing of Caribbean culture in general, and of literature in particular are far-reaching and diverse. From his seminal discussion of creolisation to his form-breaking approach to multi-media textuality, Brathwaite’s work crosses such far-ranging disciplines of history, linguistics, performance art, sociology, cultural studies and literature.
To this end, we invite submissions on any aspect of Brathwaite’s work within and related to these disciplines. Suggested topics include:
• Cross-cultural poetics
• Caribbean orality
• The performative text
• Caribbean (cyber)spaces
Please send a 200 word abstract via e-mail no later than October 29th 2010 to one of the following members of the Organising Committee:
richard.clarke@cavehill.uwi.edu
andrew.armstrong@cavehill.uwi.edu
