Even in an ever-increasingly globalized world, there remain barriers and boundaries to effective communication. These interferences can be physical, cultural, or linguistic in nature, creating distorted, dissonant and disruptive spheres of communication. This conference seeks to explore the (im)possibilities of transmission in linguistics, literature, and cultural studies. Call for Papers: Please send your abstract as an attachment to graphsy.georgetowngmail.com (no more than 250 words) by January 15, 2012.
