> BUILDING NEW COMMUNITIES: Postdisciplinary Rhetoric and Literary Studies
> As the conference theme suggests, for language and literary studies to move
> forward it must address its own notions of futurity, which are, in large
> part, conditioned by their disciplinary histories. That is, to use Thomas
> Kuhn¹s language, our own disciplinary paradigms structure our notion of our
> future. And, in our case, this is a double-bind, as our disciplinary
> paradigms incorporate our concepts of what is possible in language. This
> panel seeks presentations that consider the possibility of an
> academic/intellectual discourse on language and literature beyond the
> structures of disciplinarity which continue to haunt our practice.
