We invite scholars to submit paper proposals for the session entitled “T. S. Eliot: East and West.” The session is being organized to be included in the Sixth World Congress of International American Studies Association (IASA), which will be held on 3-6 August 2013 in Szczecin, Poland. The Sixth World Congress theme is “Oceans Apart: In Search of New Wor(l)ds.” Much emphasis has been placed on T. S. Eliot’s concern with Europeanization or the occidental heritage of Europe. Is the poet’s world, however, really “Oceans Apart,” for instance, from cultural others of non-European areas, their modes of thinking and so forth?

Please send your paper proposal of 300 words and a brief CV by email to Tatsushi Narita by February 1, 2013.

For information on the Sixth World Congress of IASA, visit the website entitled “Oceans Apart” at http://www.iasa.us.pl/. Also visit IASA’s comprehensive guide website entitled “Welcome IASA” at http://www.iasaweb.org/.

After the World Congress, selected papers will be considered for publication in an edited, peer-reviewed collection. For details, visit the “Oceans Apart” website.
