>Recently, many have witnessed a shift from considering identity and 
>its contextual milieu as "texts" and/or "artifacts" of paradigmatic 
>manifestations of culture, toward a return of analysis couched in 
>the recognition of the importance of the dramaturgical and 
>performative.  This transition from a textual to a performative 
>paradigm of identity invites renewed investigations of the dynamic 
>and processual aspects of power, authenticity, (dis)location, and 
>self-determination, and can reveal new perspectives by highlighting 
>and comparing diverse forms of performative practices.  This can 
>enable our understandings of how identities are shifting formations 
>and how unequal power relations are reflexively created by, and 
>constitutive of, those formations.  Such an undertaking gestures 
>toward the enormity of the task that one necessarily confronts when 
>attempting to comprehend and recuperate the task of a critical, 
>cultural, and reflexive study of performativity that can yield both 
>explanatory power and conceptual insight.

>The Performativity Division of the CSA is seeking papers for two (2) 
>panels and one (1) seminar for the 2007 CSA Meetings that support, 
>critique, and/or re-articulate the materialist approaches and 
>theoretical frameworks that address performativity in areas 
>including, but not limited to:
>
>- race and the racialization of identity categories;
>- capitalism, class, and identities;
>- citizenship and nationality;
>- religion and spirituality;
>
>- gender and sexuality;
>
>- nationalisms and national identities;
>
>- (dis)abilities and identities;
>
>- "third spaces," "passing," and biculturality;
>- claims to authenticity;
>
>- power;
>
>- knowledge, the knowing subject, and the claim to knowing;
>
>- ethnics, morals, and axiology;
>
>- the enactment and success, and/or appropriation and containment, 
>of resistance;
>- the interstices of supportive and/or competing paradigms (from
