This year's theme is "World Literature / World Film: Intersections and

… Film adaptations of literature: practices and politics.
… Literature and film as technologies of nationalist and/or 
post-nationalist expression.

cinema.

… Globalization and the new economies of print and film.
… Representations, gazes, otherings, disruptions.
… National film boards: impacts and influences.
… Literature as film, film as literature.
… The new media revolution and its challenge to film and literature.
… New curriculums: world literature and film in the 21st century curriculum.

While we are particularly interested in proposals that address the 
conference theme, papers on all aspects of world literature, global 
culture, and postcolonial studies will be considered.
Workshops on teaching world and multicultural film and literature, using 
technology to teach literature and film, and on making "little films" will 
run in conjunction with the conference.

individual papers; include your name, complete mailing address, and e-mail

Featured Speaker
Renee Tajima-Peña: writer and filmmaker.
Tajima-Peña has become a chronicler of the American scene with her 
award-winning films "Who Killed Vincent Chin?," the Academy Award-nominated 
investigation of the beating death of a Chinese American in Detroit, and 
the Sundance Film Festival award-winning "My AmericaŠor Honk if You Love 
Buddha." In this feature-length documentary, Tajima-Peña takes you on a 
cross-country road trip as she searches for Asian America. The result is an 
often funny and poignant look at a changing panorama as she encounters 
rappers, debutantes, laborers and freedom fighters.
Tajima-Peña will deliver a talk at the conference Saturday afternoon, and 
screen  "My AmericaŠor Honk if You Love Buddha" at the historic Fargo 
Theater Saturday evening, April 26th, 2003.
