CALL FOR PAPERS
The Seventh EDS CONFERENCE
(22-23-24 November, 2001)
To be hosted by the English Department of the Faculty of letters
and Human Sciences Manouba, University of Manouba-Tunis, Tunisia
Theme: STRATEGIES OF BETRAYAL
A) Areas:
The English Department Seminar (EDS) is happy to announce its
forthcoming seventh conference on STRATEGIES OF BETRAYAL.
We invite papers in English in different areas of interest. Preference
will go to papers that move beyond basic plot paradigms and
the theme of betrayal.
Deception, illusion, pretence, forgery and ambiguity all conspire
to create "meaning." Genres cannibalise each other, and literary
forms evolve both synchronically and diachronically, making in the
process readers' "horizons of expectations" fuse/defuse in often
unpredictable ways. Strategies of betrayal are common in formal
and functional views of language at the micro- and macro-linguistic
levels. These strategies are responsible for hijacking attitudes
and manipulating opinions, and are found in the contrast between
people's knowledge of language and the hypotheses and conclusions
elaborated by linguists. Papers may also focus on the risk faced
by historians and sociologists of betraying "truth", class, country
or one's former self . They can probe case histories of trust misplaced
and solidarity betrayed , or explore the dichotomy between project
and end result.
