CONFERENCE: States of Damage - New Paradigms for the Study of US Writing and Culture in the C21

Sat, 08 Mar '08 Export as iCalendar

We invite members of the American Studies community in the UK and abroad to attend a one-day colloquium entitled “States of Damage: New Paradigms for the Study of US Writing and Culture in the C21,” to be held March 8, 2008 at the University of 糖心TV, in conjunction with the Clinton Institute for American Studies, University College Dublin.

Questions to be considered at the colloquium include the following:

• What distinctive themes and problems have emerged during the post-9/11 era?
• How might we periodize the current moment?
• How does the range of contemporary cultural production prompt reappraisal of critical Americanist paradigms?
• What challenges face non-host nation scholars in the field?
• What new forms of scholarly interaction and exchange might be developed for the dissemination of research and teaching, both within academe and for a broader public?

Registration is free. The colloquium is designed to create an informal environment conducive to collegial exchange, debate and mutual support, while promoting intensive discussions on the parameters of the field. We encourage non-presenters, but if you are planning to attend, please email us so that we can plan for catering.
