Call For Papers: "The 1001 Nights in the Western Imagination"
NEMLA 2003 (March 6-9, 2003, Boston, MA)
Deadline: September 15, 2002
Panel Chairs: Heather Dubnick and Martin Marafioti

We invite abstracts that consider the influence and impact of The 1001 Nights
across  cultures; papers addressing  issues of  reception, (mis)translation,
adaptation, storytelling and Orientalism are particularly encouraged.  Please
send abstracts by September 15, 2003 via email to dubnick@bu.edu or by mail
to 141 Col=F3n St., Beverly, MA 01915.


Panel Description:
    The Thousand and One Nights has long occupied a special place in the
literary and cultural imagination of the West.  In the Decameron, for
example, Giovanni Boccaccio both emulates the structure of the collection as
a whole and adapts the content of many of the tales; centuries later, Jorge
Luis Borges, at the end of his essay "Translators of The Thousand and One
Nights," expresses the desire to see the "marvels in the Nights rethought in
German," asking "[w]hat might a man-a Kafka-do if he organized and
intensified this play [of chance, symmetries, contrasts, digressions], remade
it in line with the Germanic distortion, the unheimlichkeit of Germany?" (
Selected Non-Fictions 108-9.).   In this panel, we hope to attract papers
that consider the influence and impact of The Thousand and One Nights across
Western literatures and cultures, not only in terms of the retelling of
particular stories, but also in terms of the rethinking of storytelling
itself.  Papers may address questions of (mis)translation, dissemination,
adaptation, literary theory, storytelling, copying, Orientalism, and may deal
with historical, literary, or other cultural media (including painting, film,
or animated versions of particular stories).
