Women in French Session
2019 South Atlantic Modern Language Association Conference
Atlanta, Georgia
November 8-10, 2019
Space, Place and Time in French and Francophone Women’s Narratives
Power, identity and relationships often relate to place and, arguably, space. For example, questions of family and / or immigration seemingly involve not only these but the notion of time. This session proposes to investigate space, place, and time, and how these concepts play out in women’s narrative (texts or films). In what ways do women’s narratives create new understandings of space, place and time? In what ways might these spaces and places be gendered? And, in what way are they an experience of identity? Does women’s experience create a new space, place, or concept of time, and if so, in what ways? Please send a 250-word abstract in English or French to E. Nicole Meyer, Augusta University, nimeyer@augusta.edu by May 15, 2019 along with presenter’s academic affiliation, contact information, and A/V requirements.
