Bodies in Motion, Languages in Motion:
An Interdisciplinary Forum


A graduate symposium co-sponsored by the Department of French & Italian
and the Department of Spanish & Portuguese at the University of
Minnesota-Twin Cities.

This symposium will explore how different fields of study are integrated
to shed new light upon various aspects and components of bodies and
languages in motion. This year’s plenary speaker will be acclaimed
sociologist John O’Neill from York University-Toronto.


We welcome proposals for 20-minute presentations in English that
integrate literature, linguistics, cultural studies or any other
discipline with the following themes and topics:

• Modern and Contemporary Bodies: the diasporic body, the racialized
body, the modified body.
• Resisting Bodies: the martyred body, the tortured body.
• Protean Bodies: the hermaphroditic and other versatile bodies; the
gendered consequences of mind/body interaction.
• Creative Bodies: performance, film, music and other aesthetic
experiences.
• Expressive Bodies: languages in contact, language variation and change.

The list suggests a wide array of topics, however, it is not meant to be
exhaustive nor limiting in its scope. Submissions from all disciplines
and time periods are encouraged. Abstracts submitted should be in
English and of no more than 300 words accompanied by the title of the
paper, name, academic affiliation, email address and any other relevant
contact information. Abstracts must be sent via email to:
umngradsymposium2007 at gmail.com

Deadline for submission: January 31st, 2007
