>>The University of Kentucky Department of Communication invites your
>>submissions to the Seventh International Conference on Narrative, to be held
>>Friday, November 6, to Sunday, November 8, 1998, in Lexington, Kentucky.
>>The theme of the 1998 conference, STORIED LIVES-LIVED STORIES, suggests
>>topics addressing the diverse ways in which narrative helps us understand
>>and construe individual and collective identities. Contributions that foster
>>awareness across boundaries and categories are especially welcome.
>>As in previous years, we would like to bring together scholars from a wide
>>range of disciplines, including cultural and critical studies, education,
>>psychology, literatures and languages, communication, linguistics,
>>anthropology, sociology, folklore, social work, medicine, art history,
>>history, women's studies, journalism, media studies and all others
>>interested in narrative. Theoretical and methodological contributions of all
>>persuasions are as welcome as studies of narrative in different contexts.
>>The conference language is English; data sessions should be conducted in the
>>most appropriate language.
>>
>>The International Conference on Narrative is a highly productive working
>>event. Various presentation formats are offered; please indicate your
>>preference on the title page of your submission.
>>
>>(1) Research papers will be scheduled for panel sessions; panels are most
>>suitable for theoretical or programmatic topics that do not require the
>>sharing of extensive data sets. Presentations will be limited to 20 minutes.
>>Please mark your submission 'Panel.'
>>
>>(2) Posters will be set up and remain on display for the duration of the
>>conference. This format allows the presentation of larger amounts of
>>research data and provides a more individual setting for discussion without
>>time constraints. Please mark your submission 'Poster.'
>>
>>(3) Participants who travel with major data sets they intend to work on in a
>>small-group setting may wish to reserve the special meeting room available
>>for this purpose. The room will be scheduled for up to two hours per
>>individual. The number of data sessions is limited and early submission of
>>your proposal is suggested. Please mark your submission 'Data session.'
>>
>>(4) As in previous years, three round-table discussions will be organized
>>that focus respectively on theoretical, methodological, and ethical issues
>>described by the conference theme. Up to six programmatic statements of no
>>more than five minutes will be followed by a round-table discussion with
>>participation from the audience. You are invited to submit a proposal for a
>>round-table in addition to your other work. Please mark your submission
>>accordingly.
>>
