Transformations in English Studies (Eagleton, Lodge)Dear Colleagues:  I have often wondered if we might do something similar, in Canada/Quebec, on transformations in theatre studies
and cognate fields (such as English).
No, I am NOT proposing to organise it!

Any takers?

      Transformations in English Studies (Eagleton, Lodge)

      Date limite : 3 septembre 2001

      Information publiée le dimanche 13 mai 2001 par Thomas Parisot (source : CFP).

      Transformations in English Studies
      Manchester, September 3-5, 2001

      Keynote Speakers: Terry EAGLETON, David LODGE, Benita PARRY, Bruce ROBBINS, Elaine SHOWALTER and Alan SINFIELD.

      Evening events: speakers include Frank COTTRELL-BOYCE (TV& film screenwriter) and Livi MICHAEL (author).

      In September 2001, the Department of English and American Studies at the University of Manchester will host a conference, Transformations in English Studies: A Conference Made in Manchester as part of the University's celebrations of the 150th anniversary of the foundation of Owens College.

      The themes of the conference develop out of three inter-related areas:

      a. Firstly, in recognition of the role played by civic universities such as Manchester in the development of English studies as a discipline, the conference seeks to address various 'histories' of English and the institutional, theoretical and critical conflicts which have marked its emergence as one of the most popular subject areas in the humanities.

      b. Secondly, in acknowledgement of the social and historical transformations that underpinned the foundation of civic universities such as Manchester, the conference seeks to consider the significance of cities and metropolitan experience(s) in shaping relationships between literature, culture, politics and metropolitan identities.

      c. Finally, emerging as a political, aesthetic and critical problem in both the above contexts, the conference seeks to explore the meanings and problems of transgression in cultural, social, theoretical and 'disciplinary' terms.

      In keeping with the spirit of the 2001 celebrations, the conference aims to attract the widest range of research across - and beyond - the discipline of English studies in order to explore the possibilities and problems arising from the diversity of approaches now available.

      Enquiries and proposals for 30 minute papers to:
