CALL FOR PAPERS

[Theresa Mackey]

...........CALL FOR PAPERS................

Contributions are invited on the subject of LITERATURE AS REVOLUTION for the
Sixth International Conference of the International Society for the Study of
European Ideas, to be held at the University of Haifa, Israel, August 16-21,
1998.

The emphasis will be on how literature has motivated or can motive political
and social revolutions, including revolutions in thought.  Interdisciplinary
approaches are encouraged, but all proposals will be considered.
Theoretical frameworks may include, but are not limited to, psychoanalysis,
sociology, philosophy (particularly aesthetics), history, political science,
comparative literature, and single-nation literature.  Analyses of specific
works that have served to foment, support, or suppress revolution are also
encouraged.  Though the workshop is entitled LITERATURE AS REVOLUTION IN
20TH CENTURY EUROPE, the topic is meant to be extremely broad--the work may
be from elsewhere (colonial and postcolonial narratives are encouraged),
provided an effect was felt in 20th century Europe.  Too, the revolution
itself need not be in Europe (it might be elsewhere)--provided one or more
European works are considered.

Selected papers will be published in the ISSEI's journal, _The European
Legacy: Towards New Paradigms_, and on CD-ROM.

Please send a one-page abstract and a CV by January 1.  E-mail submissions
are welcome.
