With a view toward participation in Modernist Studies Association 13 in Buffalo, I am seeking signs of interest in any of the following: a panel, a round table of a seminar on the topic of Charles Olson and Ethnography. I am willing to organize or lead, to co-lead, or to defer leadership. It might be best for some one other than myself to serve as the chair of a seminar. In particular I would like to explore autoethnographic writing as theorized by anthropologists like Ruth Behar and to construct a reading of “As the Dead Prey Upon Us” in that context. And of course, of more general relevance, connections between Olson’s work and cultural anthropology in are familiar to many colleagues. The theme of MSA 13 is “Structures of Innovation.” It would seem a almost necessary to have several Olson related events at the conference.
