Appel de communications pour la prochaine convention de Modern Language Association qui aura lieu a la Nouvelle Orleans fin decembre 2001:
Negociating violence in francophone literature: a gender issue? This session will explore the impact of violence in representation. In particular, we will examine whether/how the relationship between textual violence and the post-colonial subject's desire to access self-representation and to establish a new signifying system varies from texts written by men and texts written by women. Send 1-2 page abstracts (in French or in English) and brief vitae before March 20 to Pascale Perraudin: perraup@slu.edu (Dept. of Modern and Classical Languages, RH 334, Saint-Louis University, 220 North Grand Blvd, St Louis, MO, 63103-2007).
