“Postcolonial Narratives” (sponsored by The Journal of Narrative Theory) is soliciting presentations for a panel on recent discourses on postcolonial issues, including but not limited to the nation, transnationalism, globalization, identity construction, diaspora, immigration, protest, and the world economic crisis. We are particularly interested in postcolonial cultural narratives (including literature, cinema and art) that shape and/or comment on the material manifestations of current political and economic issues around the world. Possible topics:
• Narrating the nation in a post-9/11 era
• Narrating transnational and/or cosmopolitan connections and communities
• (De)constructing postcolonial identities
• Discourses on migrancy and diaspora
• Narratives of protest and war
• Neoliberalism, democracy, and/or authoritarianism in crisis
Please email 300-word abstracts to nkovacev@emich.edu by September 30.
