CALL FOR PAPERS
Annual Two Days of Canada Conference
Brock University
A multidisciplinary event to be held November 1 - 2 , 2000
Co-sponsors
Centre for Canadian Studies and Department of Communications,
Popular Culture and Film

        The conference theme for this year is
        FUSION CULTURE

We invite submissions for papers from critics and scholars, from a broad
range of intellectual and disciplinary backgrounds, that explore the
theoretical, critical, social, historical, creative, political, geographic
and cultural implications of "fusion culture" within Canada.  This
open-ended theme is meant to encourage fresh angles of inquiry that might
include, but are by no means limited to:
* the hybridity of social, political or cultural reformations within Canada
* the de-fusion or re-fusion of multiculturalism in policy and government
* the manifestations and influences of fusion culture on cities
* the aesthetics of fusion culture within language and the imaginative arts
* fusion or con-fusion in the Canadian cultural industries
* fusion culture and 'the popular' within Canadian media
* fusion culture and the workplace
* fusion culture and social ritual (cuisine, dining, club culture)

Proposals for individual papers or panels of not more than three people, on
these or other aspects of the theme "fusion culture," are invited by July
1, 2000 and should include:
- two (2) copies of your 250-300 word proposal/abstract for a 20-minute
paper (max.),
- and a 100-150 word (max.) bio-bibliographical sketch.

Requests for audiovisual equipment: please include with your proposal.
