“Postcolonial Francophone Writers Narrating Places of Creation,
Transformation and Connection”
This panel will explore the relationships between space and place, as
postcolonial Francophone writers rethink place as a potential for personal
and social creation, for transformation and connection. Some themes to
consider: how is the virtual site of the page a place where narrator and
reader connect? How do old memories and new geographical place interact and
connect? How do urban environment, nature, gender, sexuality or class
affect the reconfiguring of place? Please send 250-300 word abstracts to
Anna Rocca at arocca@salemstate.edu by
September 30, 2009.
