Looking for third presenter (ASEEES)

[Boele, O.F.]

Dear Seelangers,

Because one of our presenters cannot make it to ASEEES, we are anxiously looking for a replacement. The title of the panel is "October 1993 Twenty Years On: Practices of Remembrance and Commemoration." Obviously, the focus is on the bloody events of 1993, but a paper dealing in more general terms with the loss of empire and the cultural-historical significance of the early 1990s would also be very welcome, especially given the theme of this years' convention ("25 Years After the Fall of the Berlin Wall: Historical Legacies and New Beginnings"). Here are the titles of the other two papers:

'Passions, Murder, Tanks and Storms': Memories of October 1993 in a post-Heroic Age'(Boris Noordenbos, b.noordenbos at uva.nl University of Amsterdam)

'I was killed in the White House': 'Red-Brown' Action Poetry and Historical Fiction on October 1993 (Otto Boele, o.f.boele at hum.leidenuniv.nl Leiden U (The Netherlands))

I'll be honest with you: the panel is scheduled to take place on Saturday morning at 8:00 (November 22), which is not a good time, I know. Still, I hope someone is willing to contribute a paper on this underexplored subject.

If you're interested, please respond directly to me (o.f.boele at hum.leidenuniv.nl<mailto:o.f.boele at hum.leidenuniv.nl>) and send me a title, as well as a few lines explaining the main thrust of your paper.
