Conjunctions/Disjunctions between Aesthetics and Politics: a Society for Critical Exchange session at the Northeast Modern Language Association convention in Boston, March 6-9, 2003. Presentations engaging the aesthetic and the political, perhaps involving critiques or reconfigurations of aestheticism, the (im)possibility of avoiding the aesthetic dimension, or a broader engagement between philosophy and politics, theory and practice, etc, perhaps in a specific framework such as language, class, sexuality, or ethnicity. Various approaches welcome: historical or theoretical, treatments of particular moments, texts, media, or authors, etc. Abstracts due 9/15/02 to Scott DeShong, Quinebaug Valley Community College, 742 Upper Maple St., Danielson CT 06239, or by e-mail to spdes[at]conncoll.edu.
