[Luella Massey]

Please forward this call for papers for the following conference:

Organized by York University, in association with the University of  
Toronto, please see the accompanying call for papers for a conference  
to be held as part of the Caribana Festival and Parade, and with the  
International Steelpan Association.  The conference is designed to  
merge theory and practice, and will explore the social, political and  
cultural aspects of Carnival and street theatre, as well as themes of  
exclusion/otherness, exoticism and cross-cultural acceptance,  
connections across the Diaspora, and comparisons between Carnival in  
Africa, the Caribbean, South and North America, Europe and the UK.  
Papers that address any aspect of these areas are welcome; and there  
will be two New Scholars Panels, for which students are particularly  
invited to submit papers.
