Barca, who is now completing his dissertation on literature and medicine under
Jennifer Doyle's direction, will soon be flying to the University of South
Florida for a campus visit, following a successful MLA interview. In
preparation, he will be giving a trial run of his talk this coming Tuesday,
January 24, at noon in the conference room (2212). The talk is called "Recasting
Melville's Abolitionism: Ethnographic Science and the Ocular Fallacy."

invite those of you who know Dane, and particularly those of you who don't,
to attend this talk and show support. I also encourage those of you who don't
know Dane to ask him a question at the end, to simulate the actual South Florida
experience.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
