THE TWELFTH ANNUAL RED RIVER CONFERENCE ON WORLD LITERATURE

NORTH DAKOTA STATE UNIVERSITY

NARRATIVES OF
TRANSGRESSION AND TRESPASS

April 17-19, 2009

The Red River Conference on World Literature has a tradition of high-quality papers informed by contemporary literary theory and criticism and we welcome voices from across the globe. We invite papers and panel proposals on topics that investigate any of the following topics. While we are particularly interested in proposals that focus on the conference theme, papers and panels on all aspects of world literature will be considered. Possible topics include, but are not limited to processes in which transgressions and trespasses reveal limits/barriers/boundaries, sometimes breaking open spaces that yield transformation, as in the following:

Individual presenters should submit a 250-word abstract; include your name, professional title, complete mailing address, and e-mail address. Proposals for panels must include an abstract for each presenter, as well as names, professional titles, addresses, and e-mail addresses of all participants. Abstracts submitted as e-mail attachments in Word or Word Perfect are preferred but hard copies will also be accepted. Additional information can be found at: http://www.ndsu.edu/ndsu/rrcwl/

Submissions must be received by JANUARY 12, 2009

Address all submissions or inquiries to: Carol.Pearson@ndsu.edu
