Drawing a Blank


Call for Papers

9th Annual Graduate Conference

Hosted by Comparative Literature, Spanish and Theory & Criticism
The University of Western Ontario: London, Ontario

March 22-24, 2007



Keynote Speakers: Dr. Rodolphe Gasché (SUNY Buffalo, Comp Lit), Dr.
Bridget Elliott (UWO, Visual Arts) & Dr. Anthony Purdy (UWO, French)



Forgetting is the other side of memory, often left in memory's towering
shadow.  But forget all that—we will rediscover the discursive
significance of forgetting: its connections to forgiveness and cultural
memory, the formation of truth and institutionalization, expression and
suppression.  This conference explores the implications of forgetting,
the strenuous desire to avoid forgetting, and the gaps left by
forgetting.  We welcome participation from students of literature,
theory, Spanish, visual arts, history, philosophy, political science,
cultural and media studies and more.  The topic is open for unique
interpretation, so please consider the following as only points of
departure.


Sincerely,

Amy Hondronicols & Naqaa Abbas
