Acacia Group's 2006 Conference: Politicizing Texts

The Acacia Group of California State University, Fullerton is seeking papers
for our 2006 conference to be held February 17th and 18th, 2006.  We are
interested papers/presentations for the following suggested panel:

"Policing Language: Evaluating Sexist, Racist, and Elitist Languages" Papers
submitted to this topic may focus on the poetics of any period, genre, or
culture. Submissions should critically examine the language of a particular
poet, series of poems, or cross-section of poetry written from a particular
period or culture in order to discover the politics of radical poetry. The
term "radical poetry" is here used to denote any poetic piece that may be
read as complicating and challenging political or social systems. The
purpose of this topic is to encourage (discourage?) the reading of poetry as
not only symptomatic of, but also engendering of, limiting social and
political systems. These systems may include, but are in no way limited to
gender roles, family organization and values, government, economics,
religion, etc.

We are accepting completed paper submissions only, no abstracts please.
Creative writing/productions/performance contributions are encouraged to
function as commentaries on or expressions of any and all of the topics
listed, or, they may be submitted individually for special panel
consideration.  Submissions that will not be presented in written form
(performances, art, etc.) must include a brief (1-2
page) explanation of the submission's relevance to the topic/theme,
materials used, and concepts explored.  All presentations, whether written,
performed, or shown may not exceed 20 minutes.

Submission Deadline: December 17, 2005
Conference date: February 17-18, 2006
Please note submissions are open to graduate and undergraduate students.
Please note panel title in your subject line and send completed papers of
10-12 pages in Word format to:
