Hmmm, what would a "natural" or "wild" style be...if indeed they exist!! <grin> Just another conference note for you to consider. [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------- Forwarded Message Follows ------- THE STYLE CONFERENCE, to be held July 25-28, 1997 in Bowling Green, Ohio, will assemble people working in feminist and cultural studies, postmodernist and queer theory, design, media, and other fields to discuss the new scholarship on style. We hope to provide a unique interdisciplinary forum that will also incorporate the major critiques of that work. Our notion of style is primarily bodily and performative, but we invite consideration of a wide variety of material, cultural, and discursive experiences around the theme of Theorizing Style: Pleasures and Dangers. Potential topic areas include: performing style, age and generation, styling desire, fashion/fun/guilt, academic styles, appropriation/commodification/exploitation. Proposals welcomed in any format: individual papers, preconstituted sessions, workshops, roundtable, film and video, performance, multimedia presentations. Deadline for 250 word abstracts: December 1, 1996. Further information: Laura Stemple Mumford. [EMAIL PROTECTED] (608) 238-3612 or Ellen E.
