Call for Papers
Writing Away From Home: Translocation and Text
Postgraduate Conference
University of Glasgow
Saturday 30th November 2002

Geographical transposition has been a crucial impetus and inspiration from 
the earliest years of travel and exploration up to the present day. We 
invite proposals for papers addressing literary texts that engage with the 
experience of translocation, from any period or culture. We hope that the 
conference will provide a space for exchange between developing areas of 
literary scholarship in identity and geography.
Professor Susan Castillo and  Dr. Nick Selby are confirmed for plenary 
sessions.

Possible topics for discussion might be:

-Exile and/or Captivity as impetus or inspiration, (e.g. Ovid, Bradstreet, 
Rowlandson)
-Not writing in the mother tongue, (e.g. Conrad)
-‘First’ and ‘Second’ generation immigrant literature, (e.g. Singer, 
Malamud)
-(Post)Colonial literature, (e.g. John Smith, Kipling, Rushdie)
-Construction of the homeland, (e.g. Tan)
-Expatriate movements and coteries, (e.g. Imagism, Dada)
-Issues of genre in translocational literature, (e.g. Swift).

Abstracts (300 words) for twenty-minute papers, and panel proposals (three 
participants) should be sent to translocationconference@hotmail.com by 30th 
September 2002.
