Theme: "Visions of Change: (Re)Creating Identity in Times of Transition"
The Graduate Scholars of English Association and the Department of English at ASU are pleased to announce a call for submissions to the 1998 Southwest Graduate Literature Symposium which will be held at Arizona State University in Tempe, Arizona. The conference theme, "Visions of Change: (Re)Creating Identity in Times of Transition," will focus upon issues and interests surrounding academic and literary studies in the 21st century, a review of how such changes have been experienced in past literary texts as well as in previous literary theory, and explorations of cultures and ideas that have been challenged by transitions from one space and time to another. The keynote address will be presented by Professor Barbara Babcock, Regents Professor of English and Director of the Comparative Cultural and Literary Studies program at the University of Arizona. The 1998 conference will again take place at the University Club on ASU's Main campus, and a banquet will be offered with the keynote address.

Your Senses!

Reflection and discussion on the cultural life of the senses as a topic of inquiry helps overcome a
number of oppositions that traditionally wreak havoc in academic work as well as in cultural life
in general: between the individual and the social dimensions of culture, the body and the mind,
the sense of truth according to sense-data and interpretation as a subjective act, and, last but not
least, the universal facts of life and the historically contingent events that shape them. Are the
senses universal, or is it possible to speak of culturally specific histories of sense perception? The
divisions of academic work as well as of art practice are divided according to the senses into
disciplines that derive their self-definition from a specific sense-domain: visual art, music,
literature, even such a fundamentally multidisciplinary medium as film, tend to be defined
according to the senses involved in the processing of the works of art that address them. These
disciplines also tend to be defined as "the history of..." But history is in the present.

Deadline: December 1, 1997.
In a 1914 letter to a staff member of _Harper's Monthly_, William Dean Howells complained
that editor Henry Mills Alden had expressed a "hideous wish for pictures" for Howells's "Hours
of Childhood," which the magazine was considering for publication. Insisting that photographs
were superfluous to his writing, since he wrote "rather pictorially," Howells also emphasized that
the omission of illustrations would give him more space for his narrative and thus would "not
scant the hapless reader with a pitiful seven thousand words." As Christoph Lohmann has
remarked, Howells's letter suggests not only the decisive technological shifts in illustration that
had been occurring since 1870, but it also registers a distinctively fearful and bifurcated
conceptualization of these changes. This session will examine the intersection of the material
forms of magazine illustration and the ideological debates about literacy, "print," and the visual
from 1870 to about 1920. Preference will be given to papers which analyze how specific
magazines positioned their readerships in relation to these debates.

Reconciling Romance and Realism, 1880-1900
American literary history typically opposes the successes of the romance to the failures of
realism. This panel seeks to examine what Amy Kaplan calls the "strange amalgam of romance
and realism." By examining the tension between these two genres, we hope to solicit papers that
consider romance and realism as contingent ideological forces at work in the construction of an
American social scene. Some questions under consideration: What kind of social reality does
each construct? How does literature of this time period represent contemporary concerns about
space and place? How are the contingencies of literary form reflected in the shift from rural
agrarianism to urban capitalism? In what ways does each literary genre constrict and/or enable
discussions of race and gender?

of iconography, film, religious images, illustration, maps, set design, costume, painting and other
fine arts, descriptions of images, the presentation of manuscripts, documents, books, hypertext,

The Women's Studies Centre at the University of Huelva invites proposals for papers on the topic
of women's exiles. This topic may appeal to scholars from any of the Humanities and Social
Sciences. We would like to discuss the ways in which women have been marginalized
throughout history, and how as a result they have, willingly or otherwise, suffered literal or
figurative exiles, as well as the mechanisms they have used in order to survive and even progress:

GUEST SPEAKERS: Michael Brub, SueEllen Campbell
TOPIC: Discipline(s) and Dissent(s)
The Graduate English Society of the University of Houston invites individual papers (15 20
minutes) and panel proposals from Graduate Students. The conference title reflects our interest
in keeping the topic open and broad, however, we are especially interested in submissions which
exhibit dissident critical practices. For example, such papers may attempt to problematize
traditional interpretations or critique the ideologies presented in the subject under study.
Regardless of methodology, period, or academic discipline, we seek work interested in
questioning and pushing the boundaries that have been established--by both authors and readers.
Possible topics include, but are not limited to:
One page abstracts and panel proposals should be submitted to:
Papers from all scholarly fields dealing with comedy, laughter, the unspeakable, the body and
laughter, jokes, the unconscious, contagious laughter, the structure of comedy, fools, clowns, and
so on, are welcome.
DEADLINE FOR ABSTRACTS: 31 January 1998. Send a one-page (roughly 250
words) abstract to: Adam Sills and Kevin Costa, Dept. English, Clemens 302,
SUNY-Buffalo, North Campus, 14260. PHONE: (716) 645-2575. E-Mail:

Saint Louis University, St. Louis, Missouri
The definition of community is deliberately left general. Presentations may address communities
of which Virginia Woolf was a part--for example, Female Modernists, the Memoir Group, the
Bloomsbury community, the feminist community, communities of artists, communities formed
by letter writing, the lesbian community, the British community, the pacifist community--or not a
part--for example, the Apostles, the working class. Presenters may analyze communities that
Woolf describes in her writings--for example, the community of the "outsider," of the woman
writer, of the village pageant, of the Dalloway's party, of _The Voyage Out_ travellers, of
_Orlando's_ biographer. Focuses may be on textual communities outside the spheres in which
Woolf is generally explored--for example, the Harlem Renaissance or Socialism--making
connections and/or distinctions. Community may be interpreted as national, geographical,
pedagogical, sexual, gendered, ideological, economic, racials, cultural, psychoanalytical,
colonial, post-colonial. Community need not be restricted to Woolf's own era; a presentation of
future, current, or past communities in terms of Woolf would be appropriate--for example,
evaluating current communities of critics (Woolf and autobiography studies, Woolf and
lesbian studies).
Proposals for individual papers, films or alternative types of presentations, performances,
readings, and multi-media presentations are welcomed, as are proposals for three- or four-person
panels, workshops, round tables, and conversations. Independent scholars are encouraged to
submit proposals.
Proposals must include: one cover page, with name(s) and address(es), institutional affiliations
(if any), phone numbers, title of individual paper(s), or panel, and format; and 15 copies of a
one-page, 250-word abstract for an individual paper or for each presentation in a panel--include
title of paper(s) or panel on the abstract, but _not_ names. Conference sessions will be 90
minutes.

Scholarly discussions will be held on the spacious and verdent campus of Drew University as
well as in New York City locations of importance to Cather. Through a combination of pertinent
scholarly addresses and tours of New York and environs we will soak up some of the richness
that fed Cather's life during its later period. Participants are encouraged to consider Cather's
relationships with other members of the New York literary community as well as with painters,
sculptors, and musicians. The cultural diversity of New York should also provide the stimulus for
reviewing Cather's depictions of ethnicity.

Since its first appearance as a series of cartoon vignettes on the Tracy Ullman Show in 1987 and
its debut as a weekly program on Fox in 1990, The Simpsons has had multiple, even
contradictory, media identities. The most successful animated prime-time show in television
history, The Simpsons has consistently garnered high ratings while featuring some of the most
acid political and social satire on US television. Now firmly in the mainstream of popular
American culture, The Simpsons has its origins in the underground comics of Matt Groening,
and while Bart Simpson can be found on lunch boxes and the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade,
the program also has a loyal following which prizes the show for its darkly subversive, even
leftist satirical vision. This essay collection proposes to investigate The Simpsons in its dual roles
as mainstream TV hit and oppositional satire both to understand more fully The Simpsons as
pop culture phenomena and to consider the possibilities for oppositional mass media in a
postmodern world.
