The Flesh Made Text: Bodies, Theories, Cultures in the Post-Millennial 
Era

(9/30/02; 5/15-18/03)


School of English, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece

15-18 May, 2003


The School of English of Aristotle University, Thessaloniki, Greece, in 
cooperation with the Hellenic Association for the Study of English 
(HASE) and the Hellenic Association of American Studies (HELAAS), 
invites scholars to submit proposals for the international conference on 
the body to be held in Thessaloniki on 15-18 May, 2003.


The upcoming Olympic Games (Athens 2004) provide a stimulating 
opportunity to explore the historical trajectory of the concept of the 
body and debate the ambiguous cultural situation of (post) modern bodies 
as figures of crisis and fragmentation and, simultaneously, as 
privileged loci of presence and wholeness. We are encouraging 
interdisciplinary work from the fields of literary and cultural studies, 
art criticism, media studies, anthropology, psychology, history, and 
philosophy, which will address questions of corporeal representation and 
discourse in a broad array of 'texts': literature and the visual arts, 
theatre and performance arts, science and technology, and the mass 
media. Topics may include, among others:

=B7 classical/grotesque bodies

=B7 embodying and transgressing gender/race/class/sexuality

=B7 training/normalizing/shaping bodies

=B7 technologized/cyborg/virtual bodies

=B7 scientific/medical representations of the body

=B7 bodies used and abused

=B7 modern/postmodern bodies

Interested participants should submit panel proposals and/or 20-minute 
paper abstracts of approximately 350 words by September 30, 2002 either 
by airmail or e-mail. Selected papers will be published in the 
conference proceedings.
