Please find attached an announcement for a conference on French feminism. We would appreciate it very much if you could post this to other appropriate lists.
Plenary speakers will include:
Barbara Harlow, University of Texas
Peggy Kamuf, University of Southern California
Toril Moi, Duke University
Micaela Janan, Duke University
This conference seeks to explore French feminism as it is deployed in a variety of disciplines: literary, cultural and theoretical. We will problematize French feminism as a discourse which cannot be contained by any of the normative disciplinary categories of American academia. The symposium, directed by Professors Hafid Gafaiti, Paul Allen Miller and Sharon Diane Nell, welcomes papers representing the full range of positions in this on-going debate. Abstracts of 20-minute papers should be sent to Professor Nell (Department of Classical and Modern Languages and Literatures, Texas Tech University, Box 2071, Lubbock, TX 79409-2071; internet: n7sdn@ttacs1.ttu.edu; Phone: 806/742-3237; Fax: 806/742-3306) not later than September 30, 1996. It is hoped that a volume of the best papers resulting from the symposium will be subsequently published. Inquiries may be addressed to the directors at the departmental address listed above.
Please circulate this notice.
