post _ moot: a 2nd convocation of unorthodox cultural and poetic practices
April 22-25, 2010, Miami University of Ohio
The second Post-Moot Convocation, an international
conference to be held at
Miami in spring of 2010 to foster creative exchange
among poets in the early
21st Century, will present papers / performances /
presentations on a range
of contemporary issues in poetics.
Topics
will likely include but will not be restricted to (we welcome
other
formulations):
- ecopoetics
- issues of writing and
power
- postconceptualist poetics
- performance and performance
writing
- spatiality
- the book as object
- poetic economies
- sound
/ noise
- versions
- state of lyric
- signifying on older poetic
traditions
- translation
- electronic archives
Proposals should
take account of the fact that upwards of 50 people are
likely to be included
in the program. In other words we can consider
presentations that have
extended duration, but we hope not to get into
exhaustive parallel paneling
and hope for proposals of between 15-25 mins on
average. We have a variety of
presentation / performance venues available,
dependent upon proposals. We can
host work by participants unable to attend
in person.
We look forwards
to hearing from you: the post _ moot collective (Maria
Auxiliadora Alvarez,
Tammy Brown, cris cheek, WIlliam R. Howe, Cathy Wagner)
