Title: Varieties of Medical Experience in New Orleans Description: Ravaged by regular epidemics and illness, New Orleans has welcomed a wide range of medical traditions over its three-hundred-year history. The diverse origins of these traditions reflect the people, the art, and the artifacts of this creolized culture. Herbals, folk medicine, homeopathy, spirit-infused remedies, and practices based on theories of mind-body connection remain strong competitors today to conventional medicine. We invite papers that explore any aspect of this variety of healing systems in New Orleans culture at the American Comparative Literature Association's 2010 Annual Meeting in New Orleans, Louisiana, on April 1-4, 2010 (Thursday evening through Sunday noon). Please email proposals to gharmon@ggc.edu Deadline: 23 November 2009 URL: http://www.acla.org/acla2010/?p=1175 Sincerely, * Seminar Organizer: Geri Harmon, Georgia Gwinnett College * Kokila Ravi, Atlanta Metropolitan College
