W ELCO m E AND GENERAL I NTROD uCTION Brown University, the City of Providence, and the American Comparative Literature Association are delighted to welcome you to ACLA 2012. Thanks to your intellectual engagement with our topic we have put together an international conference of over 200 seminars reaching across periods and around the globe. Roger Williams, the founder of Rhode Island, fled the Massachusetts Bay Colony in search of religious freedom and sought to foster a spirit of open inquiry and dialogue that characterizes our small state.The ACLA plenary panels will address the ways in which the language of collapse, catastrophe, crisis and change has come to dominate public discourse, both in the context of the recent upheavals in the Middle East and elsewhere, from economic and financial collapse to the so-called crisis in the humanities, in the foreign languages, and in comparative literature itself. In addition to roundtables on the teaching of Comparative Literature and on the job market, Browns Department of Literary Arts will offer readings of poetry translations by Brian Evenson, Forrest Gander, and C. D. Wright and a screening will be held of Linda Mills award-winning film Auf WiedersehenTill We Meet Again. Working together with all constituencies, we have made every effort to mount a well-run and successful conference; below you will find some general information on practical matters. The scale of this years ACLA, with over 2000 presenters on our campus with its many small historic buildings, has posed particular challenges. We hope you will bear with us, and we thank you for joining us in historic Providence. Welcome Reception: A Welcome Reception has been organized for all of the conferences attendees for Thursday evening in the LApogee Ballroom on the 17th and 18th floors of the Biltmore Hotel directly following the ADPCL Roundtable on Teaching. It will commence with a brief welcoming address by Ruth Simmons, President of Brown University. Business Meeting All members of the ACLA are invited to the annual business meeting, which will take place on Friday from 1-2:30pm in Salomon 001 (Main Green). This meeting will include an update on the activities of the organization and an opportunity for members to ask questions of the executive. Breakfast and Coee Break: As part of the conference registration fee, each participant is invited to enjoy pastries and coffee/tea between 9:30-10:45 a.m. and cookies and coffee/tea between 2:30 and 3:45 p.m. These are conveniently located across the Brown and RISD campuses. Book Exhibit: The book exhibit will be located inside of Sayles Hall on the Brown Main Green. A coffee break will also be held in the same space. The exhibit will be open 8:30-5:00 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.

Stream Locations and Times: Our seminar meetings take place in four streams. Individual seminars are listed in the Seminar Overview (pages 1118). We regret that the historic nature many of buildings at both Brown and RISD leaves some locations accessible only by stairwell. Should any seminar participant have difficulty accessing his or her assigned location, please notify someone at the registration desk in Faunce House/Robert Campus Center and an alternate classroom space may be able to be provided. Many seminars are located on the RISD campus, where all conference participants will need to enter a PIN code at the entrance of each building. This code, 16111, is listed in the Seminars in Detail section with each seminar assigned to a room in RISDs College Building, Metcalf Refectory, and Market House. AV and Media Needs: Because of the size of this years conference, many seminars were assigned to departmental spaces (in 70 Brown St., 190 Hope St., 115 George St., Meiklejohn House, Marston Hall, Churchill House and all RISD Buildings) not serviced by Brown Media Services. Many of these rooms have video and project equipment, but we regret that they we cannot offer staff support to these rooms should you encounter problems. Should you be able to share your material in printed hand-out form, printing and photocopying services can be found at Allegra (Waterman and Thayer) and Kinkos (236 Meeting Street). Shuttle Service and Transportation: As part of the conference registration fee, you are provided with a free shuttle service from all conference-affiliated hotelsThe Biltmore, Renaissance, Hilton, and Wyndham Gardento College Hill (Faunce Gate on Thayer Street and the Metcalf Refectory on Waterman Street). Two buses will run throughout the day on Friday from 7am to 8pm, on Saturday from 7:30am to 8:30pm, and on Sunday from 7:30am to 12:30pm. You may also use RIPTA, the city and state bus system, whose schedule is best accessed via google maps. Banquet: After the Presidential Address by Franoise Lionnet on Saturday, those with tickets will join us at the annual ACLA banquet and awards ceremony. It will take place at the Dorrance Restaurant (60 Dorrance Street) from 8:30-11 p.m. In the heart of downtown Providence, this historic building previously housed the Federal Reserve. The owners have preserved the architecture and details, and have transformed it into a majestic space that blends historical New England and contemporary local cuisine.

ACKNOWLED g E m ENTS Planning this annual conference has required extraordinary efforts on the part of numerous individuals. I am especially grateful to our hosts at Brown University for their abiding commitment to excellence in our collective disciplinary enterprise. Their vision, resourcefulness, sense of coordination, devotion to the association over long hours, andnot leastindomitable patience and good humour has been an inspiration. The ACLA Program Committee, with David Damrosch, Eric Hayot and Sandra Berman, and the Brown University Conference Steering Committee consisting of Karen Newman, Marc Redfield, Susan Solomon, Nora Martin Peterson, Susan Bernstein, Jacques Khalip, Dore Levy, Silja Maehl, Kevin McLaughlin, Zachary Sng, and Esther Whitfield have come up with a broadranging and diverse program, the quality of which will become amply evident to you in the next few days. The indispensable people at the ACLA Secretariat, Alex Beecroft, Andy Anderson,Bethany Cely, and Manar Shabouk, put in untold hours of work to provide an accurate program, with the design help of Nora Martin Peterson, Susan Solomon, Sara Ladds, Amy Meyer, and Brown Graphic Services. Special recognition is due to Nora Martin Peterson and Susan Solomon for their tireless and scrupulous work on all aspects of this conference. I also want to thank Brown colleagues for their willingness to share their expertise on this years plenary panels as either organizers or participants: Reda Bensmaa, Olakunle George, Arnold Weinstein and Marc Redfield. I am especially indebted to Karen Newman, Chair of Comparative Literature at Brown, for embracing this project early on, doing so with both calm and enthusiasm, and enlisting the support of her faculty, staff and students. Successful conferences require financial commitments on the part of local hosts, and heartfelt thanks are in order for President Ruth Simmons, former Brown Provost David Kertzer, Dean of the Faculty Kevin McLaughlin, and Director of the Cogut Center for the Humanities Michael Steinberg who have provided the means to make this event a success. Mikele St. Germain, Jody Soares, and the rest of the staff at Browns Conference Services have worked tirelessly to make our conference possible. Special thanks to the Rhode Island School of Design for joining Brown in providing much needed space for our meetings, and to Patricia Barbeito, Chair of English at RISD, for her support. Finally, our hosting hotels, The Biltmore, the Hilton, Wyndham Garden, Rennaissance, and the Hampton Inn must be acknowledged for providing remarkably professional services to both organizers and participants.

CALL FOR SEMINAR PROpOsALs AND PApERs FORTHcOMING AT WWW.AcLA.ORG

acla 2013
Victoria College, University of Toronto, April 4-8, 2013 GLOBAL PO s ITION SYsTEMs
The theme for the 2013 ACLA conference at the University of Toronto is Global Positioning Systems. At once domesticated and uncanny, worldmapping and world-changing, ubiquitous and invisible, GPS technology resonates broadly both as an exemplary metonym of contemporary technology and as a metaphor. Conference presenters are invited to extend the metaphor widely in space and time and to non-technological realms. In particular, we are interested in the capacities of language and literature for world-making and global positioning. Googles Earth: How do people position themselves with regard to the globe? What is the effect of being positioned? Is the earth we are positioned on flat or round? Does it have edges? What existence outside maps do borders have? Lost Satellite Reception: What about analog Global positioning systems: the postal system, the road system, the electric grid, radio reception, telephone networks? What about sacred sites and pilgrimages? How do obsolete systems collapse? How do they survive? What happens to outdated maps? Recalculating: How should people position themselves with regard to the globe? How should we think of the nonhuman and larger than human planet where we make our home? What global positioning systems offer alternative modes of citizenship and community? Orientation: Where are East and West, North and South? We will commemorate the tenth anniversary of Edward Saids death at the conference. Navigation: How are movement and displacement positioned in the globe? Where are the sans-papiers, the homeless, the illegal alien and all who do not have a place on the map? Consider the mapping of circulation and the obstacles to circulation, including shibboleths, passwords, passports, identification technology. Consider the possibility of changes in direction.

219

Contested Cartographies: How is the world mapped differently in different areas? How do those maps map onto each other? What frames are implied? Is common ground possible? Zooming in and out: What difference does scale make to our understanding of position? Timekeeping: How is time mapped onto space? Consider History as another Global Positioning System. Does History have different speeds? Monitoring: The actual technology of GPS partakes of the technology of surveillance, including satellites, cameras, and tracking. How do these change our ideas of self and world? We need to consider power and the ways people are complicit, imbricated, controlled and not controlled by power. What does security mean in an age of insecurity and hypervigilance? How does the new eagle eye technology change our understanding of vision and ocularcentrism? Targeting: What is the fate of indexicality, the act of pointing, when nothing is present and everything is in reach?
