Northeast Modern Language Association (NeMLA)
Feb. 26-March 1, 2009

Description:
Seeking papers for a roundtable on the theme of marginal spaces in the
works of Carmen Martín Gaite. How does marginality empower or
debilitate? How does it figure in Martín Gaite’s ideas about history and
feminism, aesthetics and politics? How does it link her to a feminist
canon from which she has been mostly excluded? How can Martín Gaite’s
works be repositioned within the Women’s Studies canon, graduate and
undergraduate? Range of critical/theoretical approaches welcome. Send
abstracts (500 word limit) for 15 minute papers to
Elizabeth.Huergo@montgomerycollege.edu. (Requests for a more detailed
description are also welcome.)
Please include with your abstract:

however, panelists can only present one paper. Convention participants
may present a paper at a panel or seminar and also present at a creative
session or participate in a roundtable.
