Interface 2007: Reconciliations
Institute for Comparative Studies in Literature, Art, and Culture (ICSLAC)
Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada
May 10th, 2007

The Interface colloquium, now in its third year, is an interdisciplinary forum for current
and recent graduate researchers and scholars. Its broadest aim is to explore the
ideological, epistemological, ethical, and aesthetic implications of questioning,
dissolving, and redefining borders between disciplinary fields. This year’s theme,
Reconciliations, opens discussion on the issues and possibilities that emerge from
intercultural and interdisciplinary work.

We invite papers from Literary Studies, Cultural Studies, Visual Culture, Musicology,
Museum Studies, History, New Technologies, and related disciplines.

Topics can include but are not limited to:
• Hybridity and hyphenations, cultural contact, cultural translation, global/local
interactions
• Art and its institutions, collaborations, classifications, interventions, exhibitions
• Postcolonialism
• Gender studies, queer theory
• Performativity, representations
• Technology and the body
• Cultural and indigenous identities
• Popular culture, high/low culture, subcultures

Proposals

The format for each presentation is a twenty minute paper followed by a short discussion.
Alternatively, twenty minute media performance pieces are also invited for submission.
These performances will also be followed by discussion with the artist.

Proposals should include:

1) An abstract of no more than 300 words for the twenty minute paper, including the
title, but no other identification (to ensure anonymous selection.)

2) A cover page including paper title, name, and contact information (phone,
address, and email) and any audio/visual requirements.

Send all submissions as attachments to: interface at connect.carleton.ca
The Deadline For Submissions is: Friday, February 23, 2007.
