South Atlantic Modern Language Association Conference
Louisville, Kentucky
November 7-9, 2008

Panel: Native Theater, Film, and Oral Performance
With its roots in Indigenous traditions of oratory, ceremony, and communal genesis and performance, American Indian theater is arguably the most holistic form of Native American literature. As noted by Oneida playwright Bruce King, theater’s “structured illusions transcend time, languages, and cultures” to bring immediacy and originality to every new performance of a staged production, because “theatre is a living art” (“Emergence and Discovery: Native American Theater Comes of Age” 165). In the 20th and 21st centuries, American Indian film and digital productions have added new dimensions to the expression of Indigenous oral and visual performative traditions. This session invites academic papers, creative/performative pieces, and/or visual productions on the topic of Native/American Indian theater, film, and oral performance. The deadline for abstracts has been extended to April 18, 2008. Please email–no regular mail–300-word abstracts with the requisite information as noted in the SAMLA call for papers guidelines, to Jane Haladay, Department of American Indian Studies, The University of North Carolina at Pembroke, at haladayj@uncp.edu.
