'Making And Unmaking History' 
The Annual Interdisciplinary English Graduate Conference 
The University of Southern California 
February 27-28, 1998 
 
What is history? What does it do? What do we do with it? What does it do 
to us? 
 
This conference welcomes papers and presentations, in traditional and 
nontraditional formats, on the general subject of history and culture 
from graduate students, faculty and independent scholars. 
 
The view of history as a universal, objective, progressive force has 
come under attack from a variety of perspectives suspicious of 
foundationalist claims for history as truth. Certain strands of 
post-structuralist, feminist, postcolonial, post-marxist scholarship 
(amongst others) have been in the forefront of countering the monolithic 
conception of history, seeing it instead as always contested, contingent 
and fragmentary. While this debate, represented schematically here, and 
the understandings that have emerged from it are of some interest to 
this conference, papers and presentations are invited on any and all 
fields of historical/cultural study, from all theoretical and 
methodological standpoints, and from all disciplines. 
 
Possible panel topics include (but are not limited to): 
 
Writing and Rewriting History   Alternative Histories  History as Tragedy 
History as Farce   Subaltern Studies  Area Studies  The Idea of Periods 
Museum Culture  Collective Memory  The History Channel     Nostalgia
