SLS 2003
The 17th annual conference of the Society for Literature and Science
will be held at the Marriott at the Capitol in Austin, Texas, on October
23-26, 2003. The conference theme is Rethinking Space and Time Across
Science, Literature, and the Arts.
Timothy Ferris, ?¨the best science writer of his generation?Æ (Joel
Achenbach, The Washington Post) will give the Friday evening plenary
address. His ten books include the bestsellers The Whole Shebang: A
State-of-the-Universe(s) Report and Coming of Age in the Milky Way,
named by The New York Times as two of the leading books published in the
twentieth century. He has received the American Institute of Physics
prize, the American Association for the Advancement of Science prize,
and a Guggenheim Fellowship. Ferris??s articles and essays have
appeared
in Forbes, Harper's, Life, National Geographic, Natural History, Nature,
Scientific American, The Nation, The New Republic, The New York Review
of Books, and The New York Times. He is currently emeritus professor of
journalism at the University of California, Berkeley.
The conference will coincide with the major exhibition "Becoming Modern:
1890-1939," marking the opening of the expanded facilities of the Harry
Ransom Humanities Research Center (HRC) at the University of Texas, and
the HRC will host a reception in the exhibition before Friday night's
plenary address.
Austin offers many attractions, including excellent restaurants and a
lively music scene as well as the strong manuscript and archival
collections of British, French, and American authors held by the HRC
(see ). The Marriott at the Capital will
offer a conference rate of $124 for single, double, triple, and quad
rooms. Conference attendees should be able to extend that rate (on a
space-available basis) two days before and after the conference. Most
major airlines service Austin. For more travel information, see the
City of Austin Web site under "Fast Facts." For
more on Austin itself, see the Convention & Visitors Bureau Web site
.
Although the conference will put particular focus on the themes of space
and time, proposals are also welcome on all topics addressing the
interaction of literature, the arts, new media, or critical theory with
science and technology. We encourage potential participants to use the
SLS discussion list to circulate ideas for panels. To subscribe to the
list, go to .
Individuals may submit abstracts (150 words) for individual papers as
well as proposals for panels, usually composed of 3-4 speakers plus
discussion in a 1-1/2 hour session. We encourage innovative proposals
for papers, panels, round-table discussions, and any non-traditional
formats. Sessions involving speakers and/or respondents that transcend
disciplinary boundaries are particularly welcome. The deadline is May
1, 2003.
Abstracts and panel proposals should be e-mailed to both program chair
Bruce Clarke, Texas Tech University , and
conference co-director Linda Dalrymple Henderson, UT/Austin
. The conference Web site will be on-line by mid
February at .
