The Society for Critical Exchange
 
2000 MLA Panels
"Economies of Writing"
 
2000 MLA Convention
(27-31 December, Washington, D.C.
)
 

As an affiliated organization of the MLA, the SCE has two standing panels at each annual convention. Usually, SCE programs grow out of continuing projects that Society members are pursuing. This year's sessions are at the intersection of two such projects, "Cultures of Writing" and "New Economic Criticism."

The presenters and papers for the two panels are listed below. Because the SCE attempts to devote conference panels to discussion rather than merely presentation, summaries of the papers are available by clicking on the titles below.

In some cases, full copies are available as well.
