Divided Loyalties

Call for Papers for PARTIAL ANSWERS: JOURNAL OF LITERATURE AND THE
HISTORY OF IDEAS


The competing components of human identity, in particular the identity
of the artist =96 personal relationships, vocation, gender, race, class,
religion, ethnicity, socio-political affiliation, language, nationality
and place of residence -- are often in conflict with one another, but
the conflict may be a stimulus for creative energies and an authentic
world view.

Partial Answers invites interdisciplinary papers that focus on literary
explorations of the relationship between competing commitments, complex
and problematized identities, dual citizenships. Possible subjects include

a.. Between two worlds: divided loyalties in periods of transition.
b.. Between languages and cultures: the predicament of bilingual and
emigre writers.
c.. Between frames of reference: tension between loyalties to the narrow
and to the broad frameworks of individual affiliation.
d.. Between socio-political engagement and art for art's sake: maps
of the middle ground.
e.. Under two banners: engage art endorsing more than one cause.


In order to be included in Partial Answers 5/2, articles must reach the
editorial office by December 31, 2006.



The editorial board extends a continuing welcome to papers on other
subjects in the interdisciplinary field of literature and the history of
