DDD ISCERNING the R R IGHT
A conference at the University of Wisconsin -- Milwaukee
March 8-10, 1996
Issues surrounding the Right seem to be crucial to contemporary
discussions of postmodernity. Currently, the "Right" connotes the new
majority in Congress, yet we also see other "Rights" at the heart of
recent academic and popular discourse. We'd like to discern -- that is,
unhinge -- what appears to be an assumed relationship between the (civil,
moral, political) Right and popular politics, conceived globally and/or
locally through a consideration of various theoretical, critical,
and/or representational discourses and other cultural productions.
We invite papers or panel proposals deriving from a wide variety of
readings of the conference title and a similar variety of disciplinary
perspectives: legal, pedagogical, race and/or ethnic studies, literary,
artistic, anthropological, queer, sociological, personal, theoretical,
historical, psychoanalytic, postcolonial, televisual, marxist, feminist,
cinematic, philosophical, lesbigay, scientific, materialist, creative, etc.
Send a 300-word paper or panel proposal (papers should be 15-20 minutes
long) by November 1, 1995, to:
Discerning the Right
Department of English and Comparative Literature
