Hello everyone,
Due to a scheduling clash with other conferences, including the NEMLA, we
have had to change the dates for the Graduate Student Conference on «The
Illusory». The conference will now be held on the 5th and 6th of April,
2002. The date for abstract submission will still be December 1, 2001. Here
is the new call for papers.
Apologies for any inconvenience that this may cause.
The Illusory
Graduate Student Colloquium 2002
AAn object has no absolute form. It has several [...].@ Juan Gris=s
assertion encourages us to reevaluate our natural tendency toward the
understanding of our environment and ourselves through the concrete
classification of the various elements which constitute our existence. In
spite of our attempts to position everything within a referential framework
familiar to all, there remain some elements which refuse concrete
classification. What are these fugitive elements? How do they manifest
themselves in literature, art and other fields? It is this desire to
represent and interpret that which is illusory which will serve as the
foundation for this colloquium to be held 5-6 April 2002. We invite graduate
students in relevant disciplines to contemplate these questions and to
submit proposals for communications of 20 minutes in length. Papers will be
accepted in both French and English and may also discuss topics such as the
transgression of logic, the violation of stylistic and linguistic laws as
well as theoretical analyses of the illusory. Additionally, we encourage
submissions for communications of 10 minutes for our artistic session,a
session inspired by the theme of the colloquium where participants may
present original dramatic, musical, poetic or artistic works.
Proposals for communications (maximum 250 words) should be submitted by
December 1 2001 to:
