CALL FOR PAPERS
Remnants, Remainders, and Reconceptualizations
March 23-25, 2006
English Graduate Students Association
Department of English
York University
Toronto, Canada

Due to the nature of cultural production, both academic and creative, it is
inevitable that particular texts, objects, subjects, cultures, and 
concepts will
be marginalized or excluded, giving a confusing and often contradictory 
cultural
landscape to a coherence that is abstract and problematic. How might we 
account
for the remnants and remainders that are scattered about our fields of 
inquiry?
How might we begin to reconceptualize these grounds?

We welcome a broad range of submissions including, but not limited to, the
following themes:

-recycling & rearticulating
-quilting, collage, bricolage, building
-states of exception / states of exemption
-binaries, thirds, excluded middles
-pastiche & parody
-deterritorializations and becomings
-DIY, zines, zine culture
-found art, found objects
-activism and activation
-rejects / cast-offs / cast-aways
-fragmentation
-leftovers, aftermaths, residues
-questioning the canon

Abstracts for both papers and works of art will be considered. Abstracts 
should
be a maximum of 250 words in length. All abstracts and inquiries should 
be sent
to <egsa.colloquium@gmail.com>. The deadline for submissions is January 
16th,
2006.
