14-15 March 2008 Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island.  "On behalf of the graduate students of 
the Department of Italian Studies at Brown University and the Italian Section of the Department of Romance
Languages and Literatures at Harvard University, we are pleased to announce the first joint Graduate Student 
Conference for Italian Studies. This conference seeks to explore a variety of perspectives in Italian
Studies which respond to the question of how a culture constructs and deconstructs its centers and margins.
What cultural conventions and practices define the notions of marginality and centrality? How are margins 
created? What are the dynamics of exchanges between cultural centers and cultural margins? For whom is a 
cultural experience marginal? How does marginality become central? We welcome papers that investigate and 
assess issues related to marginal experiences in all historical periods. Presentations should not exceed 20 
minutes (approximately 8-10 pages of double-spaced text) and may be in Italian or English. Please send an 
anonymous abstract (no longer than 300 words) and a cover sheet with the title of your paper, your name, 
affiliation, contact information (including telephone and e-mail address), and technical equipment needed, as 
Microsoft Word file attachment to (chiasmi@brown.edu). SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENDED: JANUARY 20, 2008
