Dear Colleagues:

I just realized that I supplied an incorrect address for my website in
the
signature within my first post.  The correct address is:

Apologies,

Subject: SLS 2002 Proposed Roundtable

Dear Fellow SLSers:

Anyone interested in forming a Round-table Discussion Panel focusing on
the
relations between Environmental Studies / Ecocriticism and Science and
Literature Studies? Possible discussion points include environmental
literature and the critique of science; popular environmental science
writing; the intersections of ecocriticism and SciLit studies; the
relations
between science writing and nature writing; ecology, metaphor, and
nature;
[your ideas here]. 

I realize I'm rather late getting into the game at this point, but am
hopeful that the recent SLS email reminder might inspire folks to
respond,
especially those who'd like to participate in a seminar-style discussion
rather than a traditional 3-4 paper panel. If you have any interest in
and/or ideas for this round-table, please email me ASAP at
mbryson@roosevelt.edu.

Thanks for listening!

Best,

Mike Bryson

There has been some interest in a folloup/response session to Falco's 
plenary talk; Jim McManus is trying to organize one.  If interested, 
please see the following call for papers, and respond directly to 
Jim.  Thanks.

Call For Papers.
Session, " Just How Did They Do It? Considering Illusionism"

After a lengthy absence illusionism reemerged during the Renaissance, 
requiring artists to learn new skills. The use of mathematical 
perspective has long been recognized as important among them. 
Consideration of the fact that these artists made significant use of 
additional means, such as catoptric or dioptric devises is far less 
frequent. Recently, David Hockney and Charles Falco, through argument 
and demonstration, made their case that artists were using optical 
devises earlier than has been generally acknowledged. In good part 
what they propose challenges accepted beliefs about the ways that 
these artists dealt with the problem of rendering images of complex 
forms in space.
By example, Hockney and Falco have invited further consideration 
about how artists were trained and worked. For this session 
presenters are sought who wish to make their own arguments about how 
artists approached and solved the problem of rendering images of 
complex forms in space. Just how did they do it?

Please send an abstract for your paper to:
James W. McManus
Department of Art and Art History

Chico, CA 95929-0820
or email me at:  jmcmanus@csuchico.edu

Each session is scheduled for 90 minutes. SLS is committed to 
promoting discussion across disciplinary boundaries. To that end, we 
strongly encourage presenting brief (10-15 minutes) summaries of 
papers rather than reading them in whole or in part, allowing time 
for group discussion,
