Events:


1. Project Narrative Summer Institute

June 9-20, 2014

The Ohio State University

Feminist and Queer Narrative Theories


The Project Narrative Summer Institute (PNSI) is a two-week workshop on the
Ohio State University Columbus campus that offers faculty and advanced
graduate students in any discipline the opportunity for an intensive study
of core concepts and issues in narrative theory. The focus for summer 2014
will be Queer and Feminist Narrative Theories: Interdisciplinary
Methodologies.
Institute Directors: PNSI 2014 will be co-directed by OSU faculty members
Robyn Warhol, Arts & Humanities Distinguished Professor of English, and
Amy Shuman, Professor of English, Anthropology, and Women's, Gender, and
Sexuality Studies and Director of Disability Studies. The Institute draws
on the co-directors' interdisciplinary training and research experience to
recombine foundational queer and feminist texts in social sciences,
literary theory, and narratology, with the goal of developing new
transdisciplinary methodologies for teaching and research. Scholars in all
humanities and social science fields are welcome.

Application Process and Deadline. Please submit application materials to
Professors Warhol (warhol.1@osu.edu) and Shuman (shuman.1@osu.edu). A
complete application consists of three items: (1) A current c.v. (with
up-to-date contact information); (2) a personal statement of no more than
1,200 words informally proposing your PNSI project and explaining how
participation in PNSI will enhance your scholarship and/or teaching; and
(3) one letter of recommendation. Recommendations can be submitted
directly by your letterwriters to the Institute Directors, or they can
come with your other application materials. Project Narrative will make
admission decisions by April 15, 2014.
The deadline for applications is Monday, March 31, 2014.

Fees and Housing. Tuition for the 2014 Project Narrative Summer Institute is
$1,500. This does not include housing, but the Project Narrative staff will
assist participants in finding affordable housing options according to
individual needs.
Project Narrative cannot provide financial aid, but the co-directors will
gladly write in support of participants' applications for funding from
home institutions.

Structure of PNSI 2014: The co-directors will distribute a list of readings
to be completed before the beginning of the institute. Each participant will
bring a scholarly or pedagogical project to work on during the two weeks
and to share with PNSI seminar members. The project might be, for example,
the outline for an article or conference paper, a proposal for a book or
dissertation, a lesson plan or a course syllabus. The Institute meets each
morning as a seminar to discuss assigned readings and to share work in
progress, giving participants time in the afternoons to pursue their
individual projects. The co-directors will facilitate seminar discussions
and make themselves available to meet once with each participant.

Topics and approaches to be addressed: Seminar readings will survey
theoretical writings from a variety of disciplines on the gendered and
sexed
dimensions of narrative. Topics for discussion include queer theory, French
feminism, and the erotic; temporality, spatiality, and seriality;
ethnography, oral narrative, and conversational storytelling; medicine,
embodiment, and dis/ability; intersectionality and assemblage; the
structure of address in literary and popularmedia texts; tellability and
the unnarratable. Texts for close analysis will include Alison Bechdel's
graphic memoir Fun Home, women's religious conversion narratives and queer
coming-out stories in written and You-Tube formats, and Netflix TV's
Orange is the New Black, as well as selected short literary examples. To
provide a common vocabulary for discussing elements of narrative,
participants will read David Herman et al., Narrative Theory: Core Concepts
and Critical Debates, with particular attention to the sections written by
Professor Warhol on feminist narratology.

For more information about PNSI email either of the co-directors at
warhol.1@osu.edu or shuman.1@osu.edu. Watch the Ohio State University
Project Narrative website for developing details about the reading
assignments and daily schedule for PNSI 2014.
