Call for Seminar Papers for ACLA 2001 at the University of Colorado, Boulder.
New Deadline: September 30, 2000
Topos/Chronos: Aesthetics for a New Millenium
April 20-22, 2001
The ACLA (American Comparative Literature Association) runs multiple day
seminars at its annual conference. All participants are required to attend
the same seminar in the morning or afternoon throughout the conference.
The following proposed seminar intends to take full advantage of the format
in order to interrogate allegory with rigor. Works-in-progress are highly
encouraged. Papers from all disciplines are welcome. Each day, four
participants will present their work and a cumulative discussion will
follow.
Seminar Title: Allegory: Time or Space?
This seminar will consider whether "space" is also constitutive or
otherwise essential to allegory (which deMan declared was constituted by a
temporal relation). The objective of the seminar is rigorously to
interrogate definitions and conceptions of allegory. Allegories have been
illustrated in manuscripts and books as well as in independent works of
art. Since at least late antiquity, allegory has had a strong presence as
a hermeneutic mode of literary and art criticism. The theatre provides yet
another form which is equally spatial and temporal in the representation of
something other than what appears.
Papers addressing any allegorical medium are welcome. All papers should
clearly define allegory and then challenge the relation of allegory to time
and/or space.
Please submit abstracts of 250-500 words via email (not as an attachment)
or USMail no later than September 30, 2000.
