scholars of Cultural Studies, in all its diverse manifestations,
to exchange their work and ideas across disciplinary lines and
institutional locations.
The
Association welcomes proposals for panels or for individual
papers from all areas of Cultural Studies (including but not
limited to literature, history, sociology, geography, anthropology,
communications, popular culture, cultural theory, queer studies,
critical race studies, feminist studies, postcolonial studies,
media and film studies, material culture studies, performance
and visual arts studies).

may include celebrity, leadership & display, fame, the role
of recognition, sexual/gender/ethnic identity, etc. Those wanting

CARIBBEAN
SOUNDSCAPES: A CONFERENCE ON CARIBBEAN MUSICS AND CULTURE
Tulane University
New Orleans, LA: March 12-14, 2004
"In
the Caribbean, before the verb, there were the drum, rhythm
and movement.
Ángel Quintero Rivera
Salsa, sabor y control
The
Cuban and Caribbean Studies Institute at Tulane University,
in conjunction with the Stone Center for Latin American Studies
and the
Newcomb Department of Music, is pleased to announce CARIBBEAN
SOUNDSCAPES, to be held in New Orleans, Louisiana on March 12-14,
2004.
Popular
music has often been singled out as a central defining characteristic
of the Caribbean imaginary. This conference responds to the
need to expand our scholarly paradigms in this area, recognizing
intense regional transnationalization and change in the region
in recent years. Speakers and participants will address several
key questions: what is the significance of the Caribbean as
a specific locale for the production and circulation of popular
music? What role does popular music play in the creation and
continued performance of national identities throughout the
circum-Caribbean and other zones, such as continental Latin
America, northern North America, and Europe?
The
conference will feature several plenary speakers, among them
Prof. Gerard Béhague (University of Texas at Austin)
and Prof. Juan Flores (Hunter College, CUNY). Further details
about the conference will be available on line at http://cuba.tulane.edu
Proposals
for papers and panels are invited in a wide range of areas including,
but not limited to:
·
New approaches to questions of national identity, political
resistance and ?foundational fictions? in Caribbean popular
music
· The culture industry and Caribbean music: histories
and practices
· Crossing borders and seas: traveling with and through
popular Caribbean music
· Popular music and tourism: selling the Caribbean
· Music and dance as cultural practices: performances
of Caribbean rhythms
· The place of Caribbean music in the ?lettered city?
· The politics of gender, race and class in Caribbean
popular music
· Transculturations, mestizajes, and hybridities: inter-Caribbean,
intra-national, inter-national
· Popular Caribbean music as world music
· Rap, hip hop, rock and punk: new trends in Caribbean
popular musics
We
invite proposals for papers and panels that examine particular
case studies and phenomena (especially in innovative juxtapositions),
propose new conceptual frameworks or periodizations, reflect
on historiographical and theoretical issues, or rethink conventional
narratives. We also invite cultural producers (musicians, performers,
promoters, producers, dancers, filmmakers, writers and other
artists) working on Caribbean popular music themes to present
or reflect on their work. Proposals for panels (consisting of
three or four papers and possibly a discussant) are encouraged,
but individual paper proposals will receive equal consideration.
For
individual papers, proposals should include a 300 word abstract
and detailed personal information (Name, mailing address, email
address, phone and fax numbers, institutional affiliation).
Panel proposals should include all of the above for each individual
paper as well as a separate top sheet identifying the panel
title, panel organizer and a 200-300 word panel description.
Please
email proposals to lopez@tulane.edu
and dramil@tulane.edu
by December 15, 2003. Accepted papers/panels will be
announced by December 31, 2003.

TEXT
AND PERFORMANCE QUARTERLY
Special Issue
Religion
as Performance
Frederick
C. Corey and Thomas K. Nakayama, guest editors of Text and Performance
Quarterly, invite scholarship on the intersections of religion,
performance, and power. Of particular interest are manuscripts
that explore confounding borders of hegemony, politics, race,
ethnicity, (post)colonialism, sexuality, patriotism, theaters
of war, and nationalism. Topics may range from the everyday
practice of religion to missionaries, religious "stars,"
the ideology of "the separation of church and state,"
religious conflict, religion and capitalism/imperialism, ubiquitous
enactments of fundamentalism or Puritanism, and triptychs of
religion/sex/politics. Manuscripts from a wide range of perspectives,
including rhetorical, feminist, ethnographic, political, psychoanalytic,
and aesthetic are welcome. The possibility of photographs is
open, subject to editorial review and budgetary constraints.
All
submissions should observe the following guidelines:
Manuscripts
submitted for this special issue should not be under consideration
elsewhere. Because TPQ follows a policy of blind, peer review,
no material identifying the author(s) should appear anywhere
other than the title page. Double-space the entire manuscript,
including notes and block quotes. Include an abstract of not
more than 150 words and a list of 5 suggested keywords. Indicate
the history of the manuscript, noting whether it is part of
a thesis or dissertation and, if so, the director's name, and/or
whether any portion of the essay has been presented at a colloquy,
conference, or convention. Manuscripts must conform to the MLA
Handbook for Writers of Research Papers, edited by Joseph Gibaldi
(6th edition).
Please
email manuscripts (no hard copies please) in MS Word or WordPerfect
to Frederick.corey@asu.edu <Frederick.corey@asu.edu> by
March 8, 2004. We welcome inquiries to either Fred (Frederick.corey@asu.edu
<Frederick.corey@asu.edu>) or Tom (Nakayama@asu.edu <Nakayama@asu.edu>).
