Paper Call/Appel à communications

    In June 2005, the Children's Literature Association will meet
at the Manitoba Theatre for Young People in Winnipeg, Canada.  The
theme for the conference is Performing Childhood.  We particularly
invite proposals for papers and panels exploring the conference
theme, although all scholarly papers on texts for young people will
be given careful consideration.

    The theme, Performing Childhood, invites the exploration of
the interrelationships of performance and children's literature,
including such topics as

*    the ways in which theories of performativity like the one
developed by Judith Butler might throw light on childhood and on
texts for children.  As well as explorations of the constructions of
gender and sexuality in children's literature, we encourage
considerations of what theories of performativity might suggest about
the depictions and construction of childhood.  Does children's
literature teach its readers how to perform childhood?

*    representations of performance(s) in children's literature,
performers in children's literature, children as performers (actors,
dancers, musicians, etc.), and children as audiences for
performances.

*    children's literature in performance.  We're interested in
the ways in which texts of children's literature have been performed
in various media, such as theatre, film, TV, storytelling, and
audiobooks.  In addition, we invite papers focused on adults and
children reading literature to one another.

*    the relations among children's culture, consumer culture, and
performance.

*    the place of dramatic texts as literature for children.

    In order to be considered for presentation, papers, detailed
proposals for papers, and detailed proposals for panels should be
directed by November 30, 2004, to:

Professor Perry Nodelman

Proposals for papers should be approximately two pages in length,
should clearly indicate the primary texts being considered and the
argument being developed or the questions being posed, and should
demonstrate that the paper is suitable for presentation within a
twenty-five minute slot.  Proposals for panels should include a list
of presenters, proposals for all of the papers to be presented and/or
a detailed explanation of the format the panel will take.  Completed
papers based on accepted proposals must be submitted to the Paper
Selection Committee by May 1, 2005.  At the time of presentation, all
presenters must be members of ChLA.

    Each paper session will include a paper reflecting on and
contextualizing the papers in the session by an established scholar.
At the end of the conference proceedings each day, these  scholars
will participate in a plenary panel discussion in which they consider
connections and contradictions among conference papers.

    Toute proposition de communication en français et toute
proposition de panel de discussion devront être détallées et soumises
