In answer to
the apparent necessity to reframe the discipline of Literary and
Cultural Studies in terms of its relationship to related disciplines
in the humanities and social sciences, The Crisis Carnival conference
has evolved over the years into a conference which welcomes interdisciplinary
works (academic papers, creative writing, short films, etc.), from
such diverse fields of inquiry as Anthropology, Asian Studies, Classics,
Comparative Literature, Economics, English, French Studies, Geography,
History, Latin American Studies, Liberal Arts, Linguistics, Native
American Studies, Philosophy, Political Science, Religious Studies,
Rhetoric and Composition, Sociology, Women's Studies, and various
other disciplines in the Humanities and Social Sciences.
