Call for papers

Decouvrir l'autre theatre national, redecouvrir le sien /
Discovering the other national theatre, rediscovering our own

The Francophone Caucus of the Association for Canadian Theatre Research
(ACTR) invites proposals for a bilingual panel to be held during the annual
ACTR/ARTC conference May 29 to June 1 (2004) in Winnipeg as part of the
Canadian Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences Congress.

We are looking for francophone researchers to present papers in French on
English Canadian plays or topics (particular themes, critical reception,
social context...), and, conversely, anglophone researchers to present
papers in English on French Canadian plays or topics.
One may use translations of plays, of course.

Our goal in this approach is to establish a true dialogue between
francophone and anglophone researchers. We also hope to give researchers
the opportunity of getting to know the other national dramaturgy through
their own close scrutiny, or even better, to rediscover our own
dramaturgies through the close scrutiny of others.

Proposals for papers on contemporary plays or topics are especially
welcome.

Please send a proposal of 250 words or less, as well as a short 2-3 line biography,
before October 31, 2003 to Patrick Leroux, chair of the panel, at pleroux at vif.com

All presenters must be paid-up members of ACTR by the time of the conference.
