| Title | Call for Papers: Association for Japanese Literary Studies |
| Body | From http://www.colorado.edu/ealld/atj/Newsletter/News30-1/Items.html The 16th annual meeting of the Association for Japanese Literary Studies will be held November 2–4, 2007, at Princeton University. The theme of the meeting will be "Literature and Literary Theory," Proposals are invited for paper presentations at the conference. We hope the participants will explore a variety of issues, including but not limited to: Recent theoretical trends and their possibilities and limits; historical changes in how we perceive literature and literary theory in Japan; the transformation of the role of the author and his/her relation to the literary production in the history of Japanese literature; historical development of literary theory from the premodern to modern times; shifting boundaries of "Japan" and "Japanese-ness"; the mutual relationship between theory and practice and how they have evolved in the history of Japanese literature; the relationship between a chosen mode of discourse and its "object"; how theories of translation, cultural studies, and nationalism engage with the production of Japanese cultural and literary boundaries; relationship between history, memory, and literature in Japan; relationship between politics and literature in Japan; "anti-theory" and "pro-theory" in the study of Japanese literature. Deadline for receipt of abstracts of no more than 250 words is May 15, 2007. For more information, go to http://www.princeton.edu/ajls . |
