ACLA 2004
Global Ethnic Networks—Old and New

In concert with the University of Michigan’s emphasis on international diversity, the annual meeting of the American Comparative Literature Association will take place in Ann Arbor April 15-18, 2004.

Combining the global and ethnic suggests a perspective that makes use of the traditional strengths of Comparative Literature as a discipline and points in new directions important to its future. Ethnicity names the domain of specific kinds and human differences to which close attention must be paid. Globalism reflects the massive transformation in the exchange of information and meaning that has been occurring ever since different human kinds have begun to mingle. Some interpretations of our theme include but are not limited to: hybrid forms, time and counter-time, gender and sexuality, market culture, and empire.

The ACLA conference is a multi-disciplinary gathering that last year included over 600 participants from 27 countries.
