Bodies in Motion, Languages in Motion:
An Interdisciplinary Forum
A graduate symposium co-sponsored by the Department of French & Italian and the

This symposium will explore how different fields of study are integrated to shed
new light upon various aspects and components of bodies and languages in motion.
This year's plenary speaker will be acclaimed sociologist John O'Neill from York
University-Toronto.
We welcome proposals for 20-minute presentations in English that integrate
literature, linguistics and cultural studies with the following themes and
topics:
- Modern and Contemporary Bodies: the diasporic body, the racialized body, the
modified body.
- Resisting Bodies: the martyred body, the tortured body.
- Protean Bodies: the hermaphroditic and other versatile bodies; the gendered
consequences of mind/body interaction.
- Creative Bodies: performance, film, music and other aesthetic experiences.
- Expressive Bodies: languages in contact, language variation and change.
The list suggests a wide array of topics, however, it is not meant to be
exhaustive nor limiting in its scope. Submissions from all disciplines and time
periods are encouraged. Abstracts submitted should be in English and of no more
than 300 words accompanied by the title of the paper, name, academic
