[Jennifer Harvie]

Dear Colleagues,
 
The ACTR/ARTC THEORY DISCUSSION SESSION in Montreal this year will take
place on Sunday 28 May, at 5:30 pm (between regular sessions and
theatre-going), at the Cafe Cherrier.  The articles to be discussed are:
 
Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak's "Can the Subaltern Speak?"; and,
 
Ellen Donkin's "Black Text, White Director:  Issus of Race and Gender in
Directing African-American Drama" (bibliographic information is given at the
end of this message).
 
I will bring extra copies of the articles to the meeting.  But I encourage
you to get and read copies yourselves in advance.
 
Looking forward to seeing you there,
