PAMLA Conference Hawaii,13-14 novembre, 2010

Session : "French and Francophone Literature" du colloque annuel.

  Il n'y a aucune restriction de sujet.

Date limite: le 5 avril, 2010.

Veuillez proposer votre sujet directement sur le site du Pamla : www.pamla.org.  Si vous rencontrez des difficultés, veuillez les adresser directement par e-mail à Monique Manopoulos.

Guidelines and Procedures: Please adhere to the following rules and procedures pertaining to registering for and presenting papers at the conference.

Membership: PAMLA is an organization for its members. All participants in the conference must maintain current membership, which runs from January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010. Conference presenters and presiding officers should remit their dues by May 1, and must pay their conference fees by September 15, in order to be listed on the program.  PAMLA now offers a combined membership/conference fee option, to make paying for membership and the conference a single step.

Presenters who fail to pay their membership dues and conference fees by the appropriate deadlines will not be listed in the program and will not be allowed to deliver their papers at the conference.

Online membership payment is available at our website: www.pamla.org

Interested faculty, students, or others not presenting or participating in the conference may attend the conference without being members of PAMLA--although they are strongly encouraged to join PAMLA. They must, however, pay conference registration fees, unless they are students at the host institution, in which case conference attendance is free (unless they are presenting or presiding, in which case they must pay all appropriate fees).

Conference Registration: Everyone listed in the program must pay the conference registration fee by September 15, 2010 at the very latest, in addition to having paid their 2010 PAMLA Membership.  Registration materials will be made available online.

• Please note: conference registration fees are separate from membership dues (a combined membership/conference fee option is available).

Students from the host institution who are not on the program may attend sessions and non-fee activities without paying the registration fee or membership dues (although they are invited to join PAMLA at our very reasonable student rate).

Paper Proposals and Presentations: One does not have to be a member of PAMLA to propose a paper, but one must become a member by May 1 to be listed in the program.
In order to propose a paper, a paper title, an approximately 500-word proposal, and an approximately 40-word abstract should be submitted online at: http://www.pamla.org/2010/proposals by April 5, 2010 (you will first have to register--proposals submitted before the deadline are most welcome). 
The same paper may not be submitted to more than one session. However, you may submit different paper proposals to different sessions (as long as you let each session's Presiding Officer know that you have done so, and as long as you remember that you may only deliver a single paper at the conference).
A member may preside over only one session, and may not present more than one paper at a conference. The Executive Director and presiding officers shall resolve any conflicts that may arise.
 Please notify the Presiding Officer and Executive Director if you cannot be present at the conference so that the program can be updated and a replacement found, if possible. While we recognize that emergencies arise, please make your plans as early as possible to attend or not to attend the conference. PAMLA would like to uphold the highest professional standards for its members and participants. Last-minute cancellations in the program, especially those that could have been conveyed early, do not bode well for the organization and the conference. Papers may not be read in absentia.
Conference sessions are ninety-minutes long, with three to four papers in each session. Each paper should be 15-20 minutes to leave time for introductions and discussion (for sessions with four panelists, each panelist will have approximately 15 minutes; for sessions with three panelists, each panelist will have approximately 20 minutes--contact your Presiding Officer for the exact time details for your session). Please observe this time limit when writing your paper. All presenters who will need AV equipment are required to fill out the AV request field online, at the same time that they propose their paper (by April 5). Presenters who request equipment later than that date may not receive their requested AV equipment.
Please consider developing your paper into a publishable essay for Pacific Coast Philology (PCP), PAMLA's annual refereed journal. Guidelines for submission are available on the website and at the conference.
