On June 9, 2005, the Children?s Literature Association will meet at the Manitoba Theatre for Young People in Winnipeg, Canada. We particularly invite proposals for papers and panels exploring the conference theme, although all scholarly papers on texts for young people will be given careful consideration. We invite papers that explore the interrelationships of performance and children?s literature, including such topics as
ways in which theories of performativity like the one developed by Judith Butler might throw light on childhood and on texts for children. As well as explorations of the constructions of gender and sexuality in children?s literature, we encourage considerations of what theories of performativity might suggest about the depictions and construction of childhood itself. Does children?s literature teach its readers how to perform childhood?
of performance(s) in children?s literature, performers in children?s literature, children as performers (actors, dancers, musicians, etc.), and children as audiences for performances.
literature in performance. We?re interested in the ways in which texts of children?s literature have been performed in various media, such as theatre, film, TV, storytelling, and audiobooks. In addition, we invite papers focused on adults and children reading literature to one another.
relations among children?s culture, consumer culture, and performance.
place of dramatic texts as literature for children.
In order to be considered for presentation, papers, detailed proposals for papers, and detailed proposals for panels should be directed by November 30, 2004, to:

Proposals for papers should be approximately two pages in length, should clearly indicate the primary texts being considered and the argument being developed or the questions being posed, and should demonstrate that the paper is suitable for presentation within twenty-five minutes.
