Call for Papers and Contributions to

WITKACY: 21ST CENTURY PERSPECTIVES

A Conference Commemorating the Life and Work of
Stanislaw Ignacy Witkiewicz (1885-1939)

Dates: Thursday and Friday February 25-26, 2010
Location: National Polish Center in Washington DC
(www.nationalpolishcenter.org)

This two-day conference commemorates the life and works of the prolific
Polish avant-garde writer/artist Stanislaw Ignacy Witkiewicz (Witkacy).  His
impressive contributions to drama, literature, painting, portraiture,
photography, and philosophy reflected a unique world view that often
intimately combined artistic form with socio-political content.  On the 125th
anniversary of Witkacy’s birth we aim to reassess his work, to demonstrate
his continuing relevance in the 21st Century, and to build on the growing and
diverse studies devoted to the artist in Poland and in the US.

With this in mind, the selection committee will consider all submissions, but
will favor those devoted to studies that focus on the interplay of the
individual versus society in Witkacy’s work across the genres.

We are pleased to announce that the keynote speakers will be Prof. Lech
Sokol of the Polish Academy of Arts and Sciences and Prof. Daniel Gerould
of C.U.N.Y.

Please submit abstracts of 250-300 words in a Microsoft Word document to
Mark Rudnicki at mrudnick at gmu.edu by January 15th 2010.
