From: "Carol Colatrella" 
Subject: SLSA 2005 CFP: Emergent Systems, Cognitive Environments,
Nov.10-13, 2005

The Nineteenth Annual Conference of the
Society for Literature, Science, and the Arts
Chicago, IL, November 10-13, 2005:

EMERGENT SYSTEMS, COGNITIVE ENVIRONMENTS

Call for papers, panels, panel streams

Deadline for Submission: May 1, 2005

Papers are invited in all science-oriented topics, especially those
related 
to emergence and cognition as these themes appear, variously, in
science, 
literature, technology, and the arts.

To emphasize the explicit inclusion of the arts, as indicated by the new

organization name, SLSA, this year we are inviting artists to speak or 
perform in hour-long morning and evening plenary sessions. Scholars
familiar 
with the work of each artist are also being invited to speak in these 
plenary sessions, and may form panel streams around the themes
introduced in 
the sessions.

The conference will be held at the historic tower of the
Intercontinental 
Hotel on Michigan Avenue in Chicago, in view of the Wrigley Building and
the 
Chicago River. A reception will be held nearby at the University of
Illinois 
at Chicago, in a venue overlooking a new landscape installation by Vito 
Acconci.

Individuals may submit abstracts of 150 words, and proposals for panels,

usually composed of 3-4 speakers plus discussion in a 1 - 1/2 hour
session, 
with specifications for any AV or Internet needs given at this time. In 
addition to standard formats, we encourage innovative proposals for
papers, 
panels, round-table discussions, and any non-traditional formats. The 
circulation of papers among panelists before presentation is encouraged.

Sessions involving speakers and/or respondents that transcend
disciplinary 
boundaries are particularly welcome.

Speakers must be 2005 members of SLSA.To join or to renew membership,
please 
see https://www.press.jhu.edu/cgi-bin/associations/sls_membership.cgi,
or 
call Johns Hopkins University Press Journals at 800 548 1784 (US &
Canada 
only, all others call 410 516 6987). Mon-Fri 8-am-5pm FAX 410 516 6968. 
Email: jlorder@jhupress.jhu.edu.

Please submit abstracts and proposals via e-mail (in plain text, without

attachments) to both the site chair, Joseph Tabbi , and the 
program chair, Bruce Clarke . A mailing address for 
each participant should be included with all papers and proposals.

The Society for Literature, Science, and the Arts fosters the 
multi-disciplinary study of the relations among literature and language,
the 
arts, science, medicine, and technology.
