Subject: CFP: Globalization, Culture, and Interdisciplinarity (9/16/02; ACLA, 4/4/03-4/6/03)

CAN WE TALK?: INTERDISCIPLINARITY, CULTURE, AND THE GLOBAL ECONOMY

In what ways have the phenomena known collectively as globalization
affected knowledge and the exchange of ideas? within disciplines, between
disciplines, beyond disciplines?  Does the economic retain priority in
mapping the global?  Or does interdisciplinarity promise a new lingua
franca, and, if so, how can we characterize this language of exchange(s)?
What are the ethical implications of new global formations and knowledge?
What are the opportunities for articulating resistance to the dominant
discourses of globality within and across disciplines and cultures?  We
invite papers on these and related issues:
