CONGRES ANNUEL DE L'ASSOCIATION DE LA RECHERCHE THEATRALE AU CANADA
ASSOCIATION FOR CANADIAN THEATRE RESEARCH ANNUAL CONFERENCE
 
Le congres annuel de l'ARTC aura lieu du 25 au 28 mai 1996, a
Brock University lors des rencontres des Societes Savantes. Nous
sommes en quete de propositions de communication sur tout sujet
d'interet pour l'Association, mais les themes du congres sont les
suivants:
 
     1. Structures et interventions. Nous voulons susciter des
     discussions sur les structures: celles du financement, de
     l'administration, et de l'organisation de l'universite et du
     theatre; celles de la publication; celles des conventions
     dramatiques et theatrales; celles du theorie et de
     l'histoire; celles de la critique theatrale; celles de la
     pedagogie et du developpement professionel, etc. L'autre
     volet du theme--- <<l'intervention>>--- invite nos membres non
     seulement a identifier et lire les structures mais, en plus,
     a proposer comment y intervenir et les changer, ainsi
     qu'examiner l'histoire du theatre au Canada en tant que
     recit sur les structures et sur les interventions.
 
     2. Frontieres a traverser. En tenant compte que Brock
     University se situe a proximite de la frontiere americaine,
     nous invitons nos membres a proposer des communications
     portant sur le franchissement des frontieres nationales,
     linguistiques, thematiques, ou theoriques, et a encourager
     la discussion interdisciplinaire.
 
Veuillez noter que les propositions sur des sujets non-canadiens
ou non-quebecois seront prises en consideration si elles
repondent au mandat de l'ARTC.
 
Les propositions de communications, conferences-performances,
tables de discussion, ateliers, resumees en 300 mots et redigees
en anglais ou en francais, doivent parvenir en cinq (5)
exemplaires a l'adresse ci-dessous avant le 15 novembre 1995.
 
Vous recevrez l'avis d'acceptation de votre proposition vers le
15 fevrier 1996. Si votre proposition est acceptee vous devrez

The annual conference for 1996 will be held May 25-28 at Brock
University as part of the Learned Societies Conference. While
proposals on any topic of interest to the Association are being
sought, we invite members to consider these two themes.
 
     1. Structures and Interventions. This theme aims to
     facilitate discussion of structures: of academic and theatre
     funding, administration and organization; of publishing; of
     dramatic and performance conventions; of theory and history;
     of theatre reviewing; of pedagogy and professional
     development, etc. The "intervention" part of the title is
     intended to provoke members not simply to identify and read
     structures but further to propose how to intervene in and
     change them, and to examine theatre history in Canada as a
     narrative of structures and interventions.
 
     2. Crossing Borders. Inspired by the proximity of Brock
     University to the American border, we invite proposals which
     consider the crossing of national, linguistic, thematic, and
     theoretical borders and boundaries, encouraging
     interdisciplinary discussion.
 
Please note that proposals on non-Canadian and non-Quebecois
issues may be considered if they serve the mandate of the
association.
 
Proposals for traditional papers, performance papers, panels,
lecture-demonstrations, workshops, etc., in the form of a 300-
word abstract, in either English or French, should be sent in
five (5) copies no later than November 15, 1995, to the address
below.
 
You will be notified by February 15, 1996, as to whether your
paper has been accepted. If your paper is accepted, you must send
a copy of your abstract (in both English and French if possible)
to the editors of the Newsletter before March 1, 1996, for
publication in the Spring issue.
