A panel for the Central New York Conference on Language and Literature
Cortland NY
October 29-31

BUILDING NEW COMMUNITIES: Postdisciplinary Rhetoric and Literary Studies
As the conference theme suggests, for language and literary studies to mo=
ve
forward it must address its own notions of futurity, which are, in large
part, conditioned by their disciplinary histories. That is, to use Thomas
Kuhn=B9s language, our own disciplinary paradigms structure our notion of=
 our
future. And, in our case, this is a double-bind, as our disciplinary
paradigms incorporate our concepts of what is possible in language. This
panel seeks presentations that consider the possibility of an
academic/intellectual discourse on language and literature beyond the
structures of disciplinarity which continue to haunt our practice.
