Deleuze: Texts and Images

9th Annual
University of South Carolina Comparative LiteratureConference
An International Conference

5th - 8th April, 2007

Over the past two decades, readers of the works of Gilles Deleuze have
had several opportunities to participate in international conferences
held at Trent University and organized by Constantin V. Boundas. In that
tradition, we announce the organization of a conference to take place on
the campus of the  University of South Carolina(Columbia, SC, USA),
between April 5 and 8, 2007, sponsored by the Program in Comparative
Literature , the English Department, and the College of Arts and Sciences.

The conference theme, "Gilles Deleuze: texts and images," is meant to be
understood inclusively rather than exclusively. That is, while
recognizing the conference's focus on the work of Gilles Deleuze, the
organizers encourage broad and comparative interpretations and
commentaries from Deleuzian perspectives on subjects such as literature,
philosophy, painting and film, as well as exegeses of Deleuze's body of
work that engage with ontological and epistemological concepts and
problems.

Presentations by the invited plenary speakers - Eric Alliez, Ronald
Bogue, Constantin V. Boundas, and Elizabeth Grosz - will be supplemented
by speakers in parallel sessions.

The conference will be held on the historic campus of the University of
South Carolina (http://president.sc.edu/history.html). The weather in
April will be mild, and the campus will be in bloom. Columbia is
mid-sized city with a major airport and is easily accessible. It is the
capital of South Carolina and has many fine restaurants.  Conference
participants will be lodged on campus at the new Inn at USC
(http://www.innatusc.com/); rooms have been reserved at a special
conference rate of $116.00 for those making their reservations by
February 20, 2007. There are also other hotels nearby.

Those interested in speaking at the conference should send a title, a
750-word abstract, and a 250-word bibliographical biography to
delcon2k7 at yahoo.com as a Word or RTF attachment no later than October 1,
2006. Additional details will be available at
