CFP: The Poetics and Politics of Silence (3/15/05; PAMLA, 11/11/05-11/13/05)

Pacific Ancient and Modern Language Association Conference (PAMLA) Panel
Topic:  The Poetics and Politics of Silence November 11-13, 2005 Pepperdine
University Malibu, California

Submission Deadline: March 15, 2005

Proposals are sought for a panel on the Poetics and Politics of Silence.
Papers are invited to analyze any aspect of the representation of silence 
in literature, film, art, history, and politics. One might investigate 
structures of individual or collective silence, silence which conceals 
historical moments, cultural conflicts, traumatic political events, 
minority or gender issues.
Topics might include:
-         Silence as conscious recognition of the absence of speech.
-         Historical moments or cultural conflicts that promote individual 
or collective silence.
-         Narrative strategies which infuse silence and fill the void.
-         The role of literature, film, or visual art in exposing silence 
and revealing lost voices and hidden areas of history, culture and politics.

Please e-mail a 500 word proposal and a 50-word abstract to 
bmkatkin at mailer.fsu.edu or send by post to the following address: Birgit
Maier-Katkin Department of Modern Languages and Linguistics 362 Diffenbaugh
