The

event organized by Mosaic, a journal for the interdisciplinary
study of literature, will be held from March 11-13, 2004
at the University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Canada.
Keynote
speakers: Mieke Bal, Eduardo Cadava, David Farrell Krell,
Fred Wah
The
conference includes two panels and 78 presenters from
Japan, South Africa, Australia, Tasmania, Europe and North
America. Topics to be addressed during this major three-day
gathering include war photography, photo-theory, photography
and fiction, memory and the archive, photography and race,
crime, gender and architecture.
Established
in 1967, and currently edited by Dr. Dawne McCance, Mosaic
is internationally acclaimed as the leading journal for
interdisciplinary study of literature. Mosaic essays draw
insights from a wide variety of disciplines to highlight
the theoretical, practical, and cultural relevance of
literary works, and to address the nature and scope of
interdisciplinary study itself.
Following
The Photograph conference, Mosaic plans to publish selected
essays from the event in a single or double special issue.
