[EDLING:303] CFP: Minority Writing & Narrative Theory

[Francis M. Hult]

>>From the Literary Calls for Papers Mailing List

Narrative Conference
April 7-10, 2005
Lousville, KY


I am seeking papers on any aspect of the relationship between minority
writing and narrative theory for a panel at the 2005 Narrative Conference
in April 2005.

Possible questions include:
- What insights has ethnic studies and the study of minority writing
provided for narrative theory? What insights might it provide?
- How does narrative theory challenge the disciplinary bounds and
methodologies of ethnic studies?
- What reconsiderations are necessary or possible in the "application" of
narrative theory to minority writing?
- How has feminist narrative theory contributed to the study of minority
writing, and vice versa?

In this CFP, I define "minority writing" as writing by U.S. ethnic
minorities, but I would also welcome challenges to that categorization in
relation to some aspect of narrative theory.

Proposals should include 1) a 300-word abstract, 2) a brief vitae (for
panel proposal purposes). Please send proposals (in the body of email or as
Microsoft Word attachment) to Sue Kim at suekim at uab.edu by October 5, 2004.
