IMPORTANT NOTE

IAPL 2002 Conference Speakers

Speaker Time Limits:   All Conference Speakers are requested to respect the allocated time-length for their paper. 

Speaker Times:   With a few exceptions, papers are restricted to 20 minutes presentation time.  Speakers must keep their papers within these parameters.  Each speaker is entitled to 10 minutes discussion time.  Closely related papers may be grouped by  Session Chairs so as to allow for discussion of two or more papers together.

Discussion Time:   All speakers should make ample use of discussion time since this is a special feature and pleasure of IAPL conferences. Speakers are specifically requested to keep to their allocated presentation time and not use up available question and discussion time with presentational  material.

Other Formats:   Organized Sessions,  Proposed Sessions, Invited Symposia, Special Panels, and Plenary Sessions may follow a different format, in some cases holding a more substantial discussion period at the end of all the presentations.  Close Encounters have unique presentational criteria which each Organizer will announce at the beginning of the session.

Publications:   Conference speakers are asked to leave a copy of their papers with a disk version in PC WordPerfect or Word Format at the Registration Desk before leaving the conference.   Thereby papers will become eligible for publication in the IAPL series.  All papers submitted will be considered for publication in the IAPL volume series. 

Henk Oosterling and Ewa Ziarek will serve as editors of the volume resulting from the conference.  The volume will be produced for the new Continuum Books series of IAPL volumes entitled Textures: Philosophy/ Literature/ Culture edited by Hugh J. Silverman.  

The editors will begin to review submissions right after the conference.  Any final versions are due by Sept 1st. The editors will endeavor to notify those who have submitted papers by Dec. 1st.

Disk versions should contain six different files: (1) paper, (2) endnotes (first reference in endnotes, all others as abbreviations in text), (3) abstract of paper, (4) list of abbreviations used, (5) bibliography, (6) brief biographical note.
