Rebirth, and the Trope of the Risen”</FONT>
<P>Plenary Speakers: Drs. Linda and Michael Hutcheon</CENTER><BR> We
invite papers which investigate themes of death and rebirth in drama and
performance from scholars in a wide range of disciplines. Presentations might
address this topic through the lens of contemporary critical theory, staging
practice, dramaturgical approaches, theatre histor(ies), genre, or various
performance traditions (ritual and religious drama, folklore, opera, dance,
etc.). Topics might include, but are not restricted to, the tragic ghost
tradition, ‘faking’ death on stage, specters of disease, holocaust narratives,
apocalypse narratives and representations of the afterlife.
<P>One-page abstracts (approximately 500 words) are due by 30 April 2001.
Abstracts must include the applicant’s name, address, telephone number and
email address as well as academic affiliation. Papers will be limited to
presentations of twenty minutes maximum. Please include a request for any
required audio-visual equipment with your submission.
<P>Send abstracts to: <BR>Kim Solga and Jenn Stephenson <BR>Graduate Centre
for Study of Drama <BR>University of Toronto <BR>214 College Avenue,

<P>Purposefully designed to be interdisciplinary, this conference will also be
interactive, incorporating scene presentations of conference-paper length
side-by-side with more conventionally academic work. A separate call for
performance presentations will be issued once the paper call has
closed.</P></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
