PANEL: Women’s Autobiography in French: Reappearance and Magnification of Nuclear Scenes
44th Annual Convention, Northeast Modern Language Association (NeMLA) March 21-24, 2013,Boston,MA,Host Inst: Tufts U
Description: This panel explores the reappearance and magnification of fragmented memories in women’s autobiography. Often reflecting real-life trauma, these scenes recur in their elusiveness and hinder every final reconstruction of the original episode. What is the effect of repetitive inscriptions of the same event? Is any type of appropriation even possible? What form of desire does the amplification of past events represent? Is writing alone capable of pointing toward future possibilities? Please send 250/300w abstracts to Anna Rocca at arocca@salemstate.edu
Deadline: September 30, 2012
Please include with your abstract:
