"Bernard Shaw and Debt
Sealings"
This proposed session seeks papers on Shaw's writings that dovetail with the
general conference theme of "Debt." Its title plays with the
familiar term "debt ceiling" to express the session's interest in
"sealing" (in the sense of "assuring" /
"binding" / confirming") the philosophical and dramaturgical
debts owed by and to Shaw as well as the practice of debt in the plays. Possible topics could include:
representations of borrowers and
lenders, borrowing and lending, in Shaw's plays
debts Shaw and/or his plays
owe to other thinkers, writers, and/or political figures
Shavian debts accrued by
contemporary plays, playwrights, and/or theorists
Please send 300-500 word abstracts via electronic attachment to Christopher Wixson at cmwixson@eiu.edu by March 1st, 2012.
Selected
presenters will be informed by May 1st, 2012 and must register for the
conference by July 1, 2012.
