[NIS_GS:] CFP: Natural Subjectivity: The Textual Making of the Human or Natural Subject (11/30/05; ACLA, 3/23/06-3/26/06)
CFP for a panel atthe next ACLA (American Compartive Literature Association Annual Meeting to take place on March 23-26, 2006, at Princeton University.
Title: Natural Subjectivity: The Textual Making of the Human or Natural Subject
Description: This panel seeks to explore the textual constructing of Human, Animal, and/or environmental Subjectivity in relation to each other.
Papers from any theoretical approach will be welcome, especially from: Ecological Criticism, Gender, Postcolonial, Ethnic, Subaltern Studies, Philosophical, or Psychoanalytical perspectives. Different definitions of Subjectivity are also welcome. Though the object of study can be any text/s, fiction
or not, belonging to any period or tradition, the paper should focus on the way the text constitutes the subject (Human, Animal, Env.).
It should seek to answer these or similar questions:
1) How is the Subject constituted within the text on a formal, structural or aesthetic level?
2) Is there any Subjectivity achieved outside the text?
3) Is this a speaking subject? Who is s/he speaking to? What are the consequences of this speech? Is any kind of agency attained through this speech?
4) What is the relationship between the Subjective and the Objective world?
5) What is Subjectivity? What is its relation to the environment? Does Subjectivity necessarily imply consciousness and agency?
6) What are some moral consequences of subjectivity?

Please submit paper abstracts online at www.princeton.edu/~acla06
by Novermber 30, 2005. Sent copy to pferrer@eden.rutgers.edu

[NIS_GS:] CFP: Clothing as Boundary in the Works of Virginia Woolf (UK) (12/10/05; 6/22/06-6/25/06)

16th Annual Conference on Virginia Woolf
Call for Panel Submissions: "Clothing as Boundary"

We are accepting proposals to complete a panel on Virginia Woolf and clothing currently titled "Clothing as Boundary in the Works of Virginia Woolf." Of special interest to us is how clothing thematizes limits/boundaries or examines the intersection of clothing/boundary in terms of barriers and limits both IN and OF Woolf's work.

We invite papers involving Woolf's own exploration of clothing not only in terms of symbol and substance (or matter and metaphor), but also clothing as physical, psychological and ideological boundary between individuals or groups that can be-or fail to be-negotiated. In keeping with this year's conference themes, we invite paper proposals that analyze Woolf's use of "clothing as boundary" in relation to: a) the present and the past, b) genders and sexualities, c) modernity and tradition, d) the metropolis and the region, e) nationhood and patriotism, f) war and colonialism, g) social class and race, h) the elite and the common, i) urban and rural, j) insiders and outsiders, k) industrialization and work, l) women and men, or, m) any intersection[s] of the above.

Please email one copy of a 250 word proposal and a short bio paragraph to Randi Synnove Koppen [Randi.Koppen@eng.uib.no]and Catherine R.
Mintler [cmintler@unr.edu] by December 10th. The deadline for panel
proposals to be submitted is January 4th, 2006.

[NIS_GS:] Call for Papers - Diversity Conference, New Orleans, 12-15 June 2006

Dear Colleague,
We are writing on behalf of the Organising Committee, to inform you of the call for papers for the:
6th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON DIVERSITY IN ORGANISATIONS, COMMUNITIES AND NATIONS
New Orleans, USA, 12-15 June 2006
http://www.Diversity-Conference.com

The concerns of this conference - Human Rights, Diversity and Social Justice - loom larger than ever in the light of the terrible events surrounding Hurricane Katrina. In addition to its usual global concern
for the dynamics of diversity, the conference will include a specific focus on New Orleans, Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath. Main speakers will include leading thinkers in the field, and these will be supported by paper, workshop and colloquium presentations by researchers and practitioners.

We would particularly like to invite you to respond to the conference call for papers. Presenters may choose to submit written papers for consideration before or after the conference in the fully refereed
International Journal of Diversity in Organisations, Communities and Nations. If you are unable to attend the conference in person, virtual registrations are also available which allow you to submit a paper for
refereeing and possible publication in the journal, and give you access to the electronic version of the journal.

The deadline for the next round in the call for papers (a title and short abstract) is 15 December 2005. Proposals are reviewed within four weeks of submission.

Following the devastating effects of Hurricane Katrina on the city of New Orleans, we have had to change the venue of the conference to the Sheraton Hotel, the first hotel to become fully operational in New Orleans after the hurricane. The conference was originally going to be held at Xavier University, an historically black institution and seriously damaged by the hurricane. Although the university plans to reopen in January 2006, we could not be certain that it would be available for the conference by June.

We would also like to remind you of the Diversity Symposium to be held in Melbourne this coming 7-8 December 2005 which will focus on 'intersectional' issues of gender and culture. A limited number of
presentation and registration opportunities are still available at this symposium.

Details of both the New Orleans conference and the Melbourne Symposium, including an online call for papers form, are to be found at the above website.

Yours Sincerely,

Dr. Joe Melcher
Xavier University of New Orleans, New Orleans, Louisiana, USA

Apologies for cross-posting. I thought listmembers might be interested in the following call for papers. You can learn more about the journal at Theoria's website:
http://www.theoria.unp.ac.za/

Regards
Melissa

The Politics of Health: Call for Papers

Contributions are invited for a special issue of Theoria aimed at exploring the politics and ethics of health and health care. For this special issue contributors are invited to reflect on the relationships between health, justice, power and knowledge in the context of medical provision, health research, health care policies, global interdependence and the spread or resurgence of pandemic diseases such as AIDS and SARS.

Contributions from across the social sciences and humanities, both discipline-specific and interdisciplinary, will be welcomed.

Contributors are encouraged to reflect directly on the meaning of justice in the context of health care, on the nature of medical ethics, and on the implementation of health care policies. Some questions that might guide submission are: Is there a disjuncture between political philosophers' interpretations of justice and those of health care practitioners, policy makers and researchers? What are the issues at stake in justifying policies around AIDS treatment? How and by whom are legitimate health care needs to be determined? What justifies the inclusion or exclusion of certain groups in clinical research? Should health care practitioners be required to undertake a certain amount of
community service? How are public health insurance policies to be justified? What are the implications of distinguishing between first and second generation rights in the context of health care? Will the future of health care inevitably be determined primarily by rich, aging and politically well-connected populations, as in much of the western world, rather than by poor, vulnerable and politically marginal groups and societies? Comparative perspectives and case studies will also be welcomed.

The deadline for submission of papers is 1 February 2006. Three hard
copies of each paper, as well as an electronic version (preferably
MSWord), an abstract and a short (three line) biography, should be sent
to: Roger Deacon, Managing Editor: THEORIA, P.O.Box 50324,
Randjesfontein, 1683, South Africa; e-mail: deacon@ukzn.ac.za.

-oppositions to the rule: feminisms, minority studies, postcoloniality, disability studies, queer studies, etc.
-temporal exceptions: challenges to literary and theoretical periodizations
-exceptions to genre: challenges to formal constraints, emergence and
collapse of genres (prose poetry, remixing media), the "popular"and high culture
-questions of marginality and canonicity; writing from the margins
-borders/borderlands as spaces of exception
-filmic strategies of exception and representation; the exceptional spectator
-aesthetics as a site of exception

Deadline for Abstracts: Wednesday, December 14, 2005.

The Centre for Comparative Literature at the University of Toronto
invites abstracts for its 17th annual graduate student conference
The Politics of Memory
to be held from
March 31st to April 2, 2006.

Papers may address interdisciplinary issues related to, but not limited
to, the following questions:

In what ways does literature illuminate the historical construction and remembering of particular identities, events, and nations?
How do different genres and media (poetry, theatre, film, graphic novels, etc.) depict history? How does their language (verbal, visual, etc.) influence or challenge collective historical memories?
How do different readers receive a historical narrative? What happens when one reader is more familiar with the depicted historical event?
What is the responsibility of the author/reader toward history as it concerns real people and events?
How does interdisciplinarity today offer new techniques for studying the relationships among literature, memory, and history, as well as their political implications?

Abstracts of 500 words should be sent to

complit_colloq06@yahoo.ca

by January 9, 2006.

Graduate students from various disciplines are encouraged to apply.
Please observe the following procedures to enable blind peer review:
1) attach a short biographical note on a separate page,
2) do not include your name on the same page as your abstract, and
3) type “abstract” in the subject line of your email.
Also, indicate at the end of your abstract if you will require any special resources for your presentation.

Papers may be given in English or French with citations in any language.
The Centre will publish a selection of papers from the conference in
