The World is Not Flat: Body Traffic across the Global Village

We will examine the ways in which literary, cinematic, journalistic and internet texts 
portray the lives of deracinated workers within the global marketplace. How do these 
texts serve as correctives to Thomas Friedman's celebration of increasingly symbiotic 
economic relations across the globe? Do such texts also manifest a transmigrational 
imagination, engendered by a thoroughly globalized media? Abstracts of no more than 
250 words should be sent to Alexandar Mihailovic (cllazm at hofstra.edu), and may 
consider any of these questions in regard to identities that are redefined through the 
migration of labor(ers).

Please include with your abstract:
	Name and Affiliation
	Email address
	Postal address
	Telephone number
A/V requirements (if any; $10 handling fee)
